Compositions, Devices, And Methods For Nicotine Aerosol Delivery

Patent No. EP3073846 (titled "Compositions, Devices, And Methods For Nicotine Aerosol Delivery") was filed by Njoy on May 21, 2014. The application was issued on Jul 5, 2023.

Patent Summary

Composition for vaporizing devices that delivers nicotine through a more efficient aerosol formation process. The composition comprises a liquid and a heating element, with a specific ion pairing agent that enhances the formation of nicotine-containing aerosol particles. The composition achieves at least 85% nicotine in particulate phase with aerosol formation, while maintaining a pH range of 6-9 and a specific ion pairing agent molar ratio of 1:2 to 1:1 with nicotine. The composition is formulated with glycerol, propylene glycol, and lactic acid as solvents, and a monoprotic carboxylic acid ion pairing agent. The composition is particularly effective for electronic cigarettes and other vaporizers, enabling consistent nicotine delivery through enhanced aerosol formation.
