Aerosol Generation Device And Set
Patent No. EP4337043 (titled "Aerosol Generation Device And Set") was filed by Japan Tobacco on May 9, 2022. The application was issued on Feb 19, 2025.
Patent Summary
Aerosol generation device for e-cigarettes and replacement cartridges that improves heating uniformity and aerosol production. The device has a narrowed internal surface in the cartridge receptacle that compresses the airflow path through the cartridge. This reduces cold spots and improves heat distribution when the cartridge is inserted, compared to a straight receptacle. The protrusions narrow the path and force the air to flow through the cartridge material more evenly, improving vaporization.
