Patent Summary

An inhalable aerosol generation device with improved aerosol quality and user experience. The device uses a unique airflow design to efficiently convert the vaporized liquid into fine aerosol particles. It has a separate oven for vaporizing the liquid, followed by an airflow path that joins the oven exhaust with fresh air before condensation. This mixed airflow cools and condenses the vapor into smaller aerosol particles. The device also has features like detachable cartridges, snap-fit connections, and cartridge receptacles with integrated channels for easy filling.
