Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2021099490A1] An electronic cigarette (1) comprises a control circuitry (7), a vaporizing unit (16), and a liquid store (18). The vaporizing unit (16) is a unitary element comprising a plurality of fluidic channels (20) configured to receive liquid from the liquid store (18). The fluidic channels (20) are separated into a plurality of groups (G1 to Gi) and each group (Gl to Gi) of fluidic channels (20) is thermally connected to a separate heating element (19). The control circuitry (7) is configured to selectively operate one or more of the heating elements (19) to selectively heat one or more corresponding groups (Gl to Gi) of fluidic channels (20).
