Waterpipe Tobacco Substitute

Номер: US20140150809A1
Автор: André Jantsch
Принадлежит: CHUNGA UG

The invention relates to a waterpipe tobacco substitute. A waterpipe allows the user to consume aerosols and flavorings present in the fluid. A problem with known waterpipes is that the fluid suffers decomposition or combustion because of substantial heat. Moreover, aerosols and flavorings are no longer sufficiently released. An object of the invention, therefore, is to enable uniform and complete release of the aerosols and flavorings. This object is achieved by means of a waterpipe tobacco substitute which comprises at least one closed-pore carrier for the fluid.
