Infinity-Flow And Throat Hit Modulator For Electronic Aerosol Delivery Systems

Abstract

Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) are known to be safer alternatives to conventional burn-down tobacco products. An ENDS product generally includes orders of magnitude less chemicals than those generated by the incomplete combustion of tobacco. As such, there is a continuing interest in developing alternative drug-delivery products that offer less harmful ENDS consumption and that are optimized for end-user and exposed non-user safety while mitigating appeal and exposure to youth and non-users. A device-based method is provided for regulating an electronic aerosolizer system wherein culminating device-based methodologies function based on ignition signaling and/or pressure-sensitive adiabatic manipulation. Further, ignition triggers generate external and/or internal regulation depending on or targeting for optimal aerosolization of nicotine, cannabinoid formulations to minimize exposure to carcinogens in smoke.
