Patent ID: 10834973

Abstract:
Smoking articles and a method for making a smoking article are provided. The smoking articles include an aerosol-generating element configured to produce an aerosol in response to heat, a housing defining a cavity configured to receive the aerosol-generating element therein, a heating element engaged with the housing and configured to provide heat to the aerosol-generating element, a power source in electrical communication with the heating element and configured to provide electrical energy thereto, the heating element producing heat in response to the electrical energy, an aerosol-generating element identification device configured to identify an attribute of an aerosol-generating element and a control device in communication with the aerosol-generating element identification device and configured to modulate electrical energy provided to a heating element of the smoking article to direct the heating element to heat the aerosol-generating element to an aerosolization temperature associated with the identified attribute of the aerosol-generating element.
