Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an electronic smoking article that provides for improved aerosol delivery. Particularly, the article comprises one or more microheaters. In various embodiments, the microheaters provide for improved control of vaporization of an aerosol precursor composition and provide for reduced power requirements to achieve consistent aerosolization. The present disclosure further relates to methods of forming an aerosol in a smoking article.

Claim (Index 91):
A smoking article comprising:\n a first unit formed of a shell that defines an interior space, the first unit having a distal end and an opposing, proximate end that includes a mouthpiece with an opening; a second unit having a closed end and an opposing, connecting end configured to engage the distal end of the first unit with a magnetic engagement; a reservoir in the interior space of the first unit, the reservoir containing a liquid aerosol precursor composition; a heater chamber and a heater in the interior space of the first unit, the heater chamber configured to receive the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir through an opening in the heater chamber; an electrical power source positioned in the second unit, wherein when the first unit is engaged with the second unit, the electrical power source is in electrical connection with the heater; and an air flow path in the first unit, the air flow path opening into the mouthpiece and being configured to provide for passage of aerosol formed by heating in the heater chamber into the mouthpiece; wherein a fill status of the liquid aerosol precursor composition is visible through at least a portion of the shell of the first unit.
