Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016090533A1] An electronic cigarette (20) includes a control module (24), a battery (28), a heater module (50) and a liquid supply (72) within a tube (22). The control module (24) and the heater module (50) are positioned on opposite sides of the battery (28) and are electrically connected to each other via a connector strip (30). The connector strip (30) may have tabs (32) extending into the control module (24) and the heater module (50), to make electrical connections. The electronic cigarette (20) may be free of screw threads on any element and have no soldered connections, to improve reliability and to allow for automated manufacturing.
