- the control circuitry 122 can also include a timer operable to limit the time for which power is supplied to the micro pump system 200 and the heater 144 . The time-period of the electric current supply to the the micro pump system 200 and the heater 144 may be pre-set depending on the amount of liquid desired to be vaporized. For example, the control circuitry 122 can be programmable for this purpose.
- the heater 144 when activated, heats a portion of the capillary wick 210 for less than about 10 seconds, more preferably less than about 7 seconds.
- the power cycle (or maximum puff length) can range in period from about 1 second to about 10 seconds.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of an electronic cigarette 100 having a micro pump system 200 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
- the micro pump system 200 can include a micro pump gas cell 220 , a plunger 230 , a liquid supply reservoir 240 , and a capillary wick 210 .
- the micro pump system 200 is configured to pump a liquid material 242 from a liquid supply reservoir 240 through an outlet 244 to a capillary wick 210 .

- the power supply also is operable to apply voltage to the micro pump gas cell 220 to generate a gas 224 .
- the pressure of the generated gas 224 moves the plunger 230 along a linear path within the micro pump system 200 to drive or pump the liquid material 242 out of the liquid supply reservoir 240 into the capillary wick 210 .
- the micro pump system 200 is configured to pump a liquid material 242 from a liquid supply reservoir 240 through an outlet 244 to the capillary wick 210 .
- the liquid supply reservoir 240 comprises a liquid material 242 , which is volatilized when heated and forms an aerosol.

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, the wick 210 can be designed so that the required amount of liquid material 242 can be delivered to the heater 144 .
- the electronic cigarette 100 is about the same size as a conventional cigarette. In some embodiments, the electronic cigarette 100 can be about 80 mm to about 88 mm long and about 7 mm to about 8 mm in diameter. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, the electronic cigarette 100 is about 84 mm long and has a diameter of about 7.8 mm.
- the outer cylindrical housing 110 of the electronic cigarette 100 may be formed of any suitable material or combination of materials.
- suitable materials include metals, alloys, plastics or composite materials containing one or more of those materials, or thermoplastics that are suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications, for example polypropylene, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), ceramic, and polyethylene.
- PEEK polyetheretherketone
- the volatilized material formed as described herein can at least partially condense to form an aerosol including particles.
- the particles contained in the vapor and/or aerosol can range in size from about 0.5 micron to about 4 microns, for example, about 1 micron to about 4 microns.
- the vapor and/or aerosol has a particle size of about 3.3 microns or less.
- the particles can be substantially uniform throughout the vapor and/or aerosol.
- the liquid material 242 includes a tobacco-containing material including volatile tobacco flavor compounds which are released from the liquid upon heating.
- the liquid material 242 may also be a tobacco flavor containing material or a nicotine-containing material.
- the liquid material 242 may include a non-tobacco material.
- the liquid material 242 may include water, solvents, ethanol, plant extracts and natural or artificial flavors.
- the liquid material further includes an aerosol former. Examples of suitable aerosol formers are glycerine and propylene glycol.
- the heater 144 preferably includes an electrical heating element.
- the heater 144 preferably includes an electrically resistive material.
- Suitable electrically resistive materials include but are not limited to: semiconductors such as doped ceramics, electrically “conductive” ceramics (such as, for example, molybdenum disilicide), carbon, graphite, metals, metal alloys and composite materials made of a ceramic material and a metallic material. Such composite materials may include doped or undoped ceramics.
- suitable doped ceramics include doped silicon carbides.
- suitable metals include titanium, zirconium, tantalum and metals from the platinum group.
- suitable metal alloys include stainless steel, Constantan, nickel-, cobalt-, chromium-, aluminum- titanium- zirconium-, hafnium-, niobium-, molybdenum-, tantalum-, tungsten-, tin-, gallium-, manganese- and iron-containing alloys, and super-alloys based on nickel, iron, cobalt, stainless steel, Timetal® and iron-manganese-aluminum based alloys.
- Timetal® is a registered trademark of Titanium Metals Corporation, 1999 Broadway Suite 4110, Denver, Colo.
- the electrically resistive material may optionally be embedded in, encapsulated or coated with an insulating material or vice-versa, depending on the kinetics of energy transfer and the external physicochemical properties required.
- the heater 144 may take any suitable form.
- the heater 144 may take the form of a heating blade.
- the heater 144 may take the form of a casing or substrate having different electro-conductive portions, or an electrically resistive metallic tube.
- the heater 144 may be a disk (end) heater or a combination of a disk heater with heating needles or rods.
- the heater 144 may take the form of a metallic etched foil insulated between two layers of an inert material. In that case, the inert material may include Kapton, all-polyimide or mica foil.
- the heater 144 may take the form of a sheet of material, which may be rolled around at least a portion of the capillary wick.
- the heater 144 may take the form of an etched foil folded around at least a portion of the capillary wick.
- the etched foil may include a metal sheet cut by a laser or by electro-chemical process.
- the sheet may be made from any suitable material, for example, an iron-aluminum based alloy, an iron-manganese-aluminum base alloy or Timetal®.
- the sheet may be rectangular in shape, or may have a patterned shape, which may form a coil-like structure when rolled around the capillary wick.
- Other alternatives include a heating wire or filament, for example, a nickel-chromium (Ni—Cr), platinum, tungsten or alloy wire.
- the heater 144 includes a coil of wire at least partially surrounding the capillary wick 210 .
- the heater 144 is a metal wire and/or a metal alloy wire.
- the heater 144 can be a coil, which can extend fully or partially along the length of capillary wick 210 .
- the coil may extend fully or partially around the circumference of the capillary wick 210 .
- the coil is not in contact with the capillary wick 210 , which allows the heating coil to heat the capillary wick 210 but reduces wastage by not vaporizing more liquid than necessary. This also reduces the amount of liquid which condenses on the inside walls, thereby reducing cleaning requirements.
- the electronic cigarette 100 can include a puff indicator (not shown) for indicating when the heater 144 is activated.
- the indicator may be activated when the sensor senses air flow indicative of the user taking a puff.
- the indicator may be activated by the switch.
- the electronic cigarette 100 having a micro pump system 200 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 can be configured to deliver a fluid material 242 at a constant flow rate of about 1 to 5 microliters/second.
- the micro pump system 200 is configured to displace a total of about 0.5 to 2.0 milliliters of a liquid material 242 during a life of the system with cycle to cycle consistency.
- the electronic cigarette 100 having a micro pump system 200 can have a life of about 250 cycles, with a cycle duration of up to about 5 seconds and a time between cycles of about 1 second or greater.
- an outer diameter of the micro pump system 200 can be correlated based on capacity and size, for example, less than 8 mm for an exemplary embodiment.
- the micro pump system 200 is preferably isolated from the liquid material 242 and external environment.
- the liquid supply reservoir 240 may include a fibrous mass or gauzes(s) to retain the liquid and that the gas-cell pump be operated to move a moveable wall of the reservoir so as to compress the gauze. Such arrangement could be operated as necessary to assure a more complete and consistent withdrawal of the liquid from the gauze.
