Abstract
A vapour generating device includes an oven arranged to receive a substrate to be vapourized, an inlet, an outlet, an airflow passageway for providing a fluid connection between the inlet and the outlet via the oven through which generated vapour can flow from the oven to the outlet. A device controller and a humidity sensor for generating a measurement of a vapour produced by the substrate are provided. The controller is operable to control the operation of the device based on measurement data from the humidity sensor.
Claims11
A hand-held vapour generating device for producing a vapour for inhalation by a user, the device comprising:
- an oven arranged to receive a vapour generating substrate;
- an inlet;
- an outlet;
- an airflow passageway for providing a fluid connection between the inlet and the outlet via the oven and through which generated vapour can flow to the outlet;
- a device controller;
- a humidity sensor for generating a measurement of a vapour produced by said substrate, wherein the device controller is arranged to control operation of the device based on measurement data from the humidity sensor;
- and
- a gas sensor for measuring adverse/undesirable components in the produced vapour, such that when the device controller determines that a substrate is genuine, based on the measurement data from the humidity sensor, said gas sensor takes measurement of the generated vapour.
