Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a vaping device (10) including an upper device unit (16) with an integrally formed mouthpiece (14), a battery unit (24) connectable to the upper device unit (16), the upper device unit (16) and the battery unit (24) conjointly forming an enclosed storage volume (28), a liquid storage pod (18) arranged in the enclosed storage volume (28), and a filter member (12) insertable into the mouthpiece (14) of the upper device unit (16). The liquid storage pod (18) and the at least one substance are stored in separate compartments of the vaping device (10). The liquid storage pod (18) can include a liquid storage chamber (30), a vaping chamber (32), a ceramic coil compartment (34) arranged at an inlet end of the vaping chamber (20), and a connector (36) for coupling the liquid storage pod (18) to the battery unit (24). Further, a method of operating the vaping device (10) is disclosed in which the liquid storage pod (18) is inserted into a battery unit (24) of the vaping device (10) and an upper device unit (16) is slid over the liquid storage pod (18) to enclose the liquid storage pod (18). After releasing at least one substance into a filter member (12) and inserting the filter member (12) into a mouthpiece (14) of the upper device unit (16), the vaping device (10) is activated, preferably by drawing on the filter member (12). The vaporisable liquid is vaporised in the vaping chamber (20) and mixed with the at least one substance within the filter member (12).
