Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A smoking system includes a capillary wick for holding liquid, at least one air inlet, at least one air outlet and a chamber between the air inlet and air outlet. The air inlet, the air outlet and the chamber are arranged so as to define an air flow route from the air inlet to the air outlet via the capillary wick so as to convey aerosol formed from the liquid to the air outlet. The smoking system further includes at least one guide for channeling the air flow in the air flow route, so as to control particle size in the aerosol. The smoking system optionally includes at least one heater for heating the liquid in at least a portion of the capillary wick to form the aerosol.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 .- 31 . (canceled) 32 . A smoking system comprising: a capillary wick configured to hold liquid; at least one heater configured to heat the liquid in at least a portion of the capillary wick to form an aerosol, the at least one heater including a heating blade; at least one inlet, at least one outlet and a chamber between the inlet and outlet, wherein, the chamber includes first and second portions, and the capillary wick is between the first and second portions, the inlet and at least the first portion of the chamber are configured to at least partially define a first fluid flow route between the inlet and the capillary wick, and the outlet and at least the second portion of the chamber are configured to at least partially define a second fluid flow route between the outlet and the capillary wick; and at least one guide configured to induce turbulent fluid flow in at least one of the first fluid flow route and the second fluid flow route.
