Abstract

Neophytadiene used as additive for liquid cigarette can improve aroma and evaporation rate thereof. The liquid cigarette is composed of from 25 to 99.9% by weight percentage of atomized liquid and from 0.01 to 75% by weight percentage of neophytadiene.

Claims

1. A method to improve a liquid cigarette, comprising:

adding neophytadiene as an additive for a liquid cigarette.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein neophytadiene is a diterpenoid compound and is liquid at room temperature, the molecular weight of neophytadiene is 278.52, the molecular formula of neophytadiene is C₂₀H₃₈, and the structural formula of neophytadiene is:

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the liquid cigarette comprises 25˜

99.9% weight percent atomizing liquid and 0.01˜

75% weight percent neophytadiene.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the atomizing liquid contains 60˜

95% weight percent propylene glycol, 1˜

30% weight percent glycerin, and the rest contains flavoring essence, water and ethanol.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein an addition of 0.01˜

20% neophytadiene generates a smell of cigarettes.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein an addition of 20˜

75% neophytadiene increases a speed of vaporization.
