Aerosol delivery device with a reservoir housing and a vaporizer assembly
First Claim
1. A liquid storage tank for an aerosol delivery device, the liquid storage tank comprising:
- an outer housing formed of a wall, the outer housing having a mouthend and an opposing end;
a mouthpiece channel interior to the outer housing and formed of an outer wall, the mouthpiece channel having a first end extending to the mouthend of the outer housing and having a second, opposing end; and
a sealing member sealingly engaging the wall of the outer housing and the mouthpiece channel proximate the second, opposing end of the mouthpiece channel;
wherein the wall of the outer housing, the wall of the mouthpiece channel, and the sealing member define a reservoir chamber configured for storage of an aerosol precursor composition, andwherein the mouthpiece channel includes a first portion, a second portion, and a transition therebetween, the transition being configured to substantially prevent formation of a meniscus within the mouthpiece channel.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery device that includes a reservoir housing that defines a mouthpiece channel. The aerosol delivery device includes a sealing member configured to be received within the reservoir housing to define a reservoir chamber configured to retain an aerosol precursor composition therein. The aerosol delivery device also includes a substrate member that is configured to be received within the reservoir housing and to be directly engaged with a vaporizing assembly for forming an aerosol. The reservoir housing, sealing member, substrate member, and/or vaporizing assembly can be used for forming aerosols with precise and reproducible compositions.
