Abstract
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices may include a control body, an atomizer body including an atomizer, and a cartridge including a reservoir configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition. The control body may be configured to releasably engage the atomizer body and the atomizer body may be configured to releasably engage the cartridge. The atomizer may be configured to receive an electrical current from the control body and the aerosol precursor composition from the cartridge to produce an aerosol.
Claims18
An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
- a control body;
- an atomizer body comprising an atomizer;
- and
- a cartridge comprising a reservoir configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, and a valve assembly configured to dispense the aerosol precursor composition to the atomizer body when the cartridge is engaged with the atomizer body,
- wherein the control body is configured to releasably engage the atomizer body, and the atomizer body is configured to releasably engage the cartridge,
- wherein the atomizer is configured to receive an electrical current from the control body and the aerosol precursor composition from the cartridge to produce an aerosol,
- and wherein the control body, the atomizer body, and the cartridge comprise separate components.
An aerosol delivery device operation method, comprising:
- providing a control body, an atomizer body, and a cartridge, wherein the control body, the atomizer body, and the cartridge comprise separate components;
- directing an aerosol precursor composition from a reservoir of the cartridge out of the cartridge through a valve assembly;
- receiving the aerosol precursor composition in the atomizer body;
- directing the aerosol precursor composition to an atomizer in the atomizer body;
- and
- directing an electrical current from the control body to the atomizer to produce an aerosol.
