Abstract:
An electronic cigarette (“e-Cig”) may include functionality for monitoring and controlling the thermal properties of the e-Cig. The system and method described herein may monitor a temperature based on a resistor (i.e. hot wire) near the wick and model the thermal cycle of an e-Cig. The model can be used for controlling the temperature of the e-Cig and preventing burning. The temperature control may dictate optimal conditions for atomization and smoke generation in an e-Cig while avoiding hotspots and burning to the atomizer or cartomizer.

Claim (Index 23):
The electronic vaping device of  claim 22 , wherein the controller is further programmed to identify that the liquid formulation in the reservoir is becoming depleted if the change in the average of the computed values of the heat transfer time constant exceeds a threshold value.
