Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021170767A1] A capsule for an electronic cigarette has a first end to engage with an electronic cigarette device and a second end having a vapour outlet (28). The capsule further comprises a liquid store (32) to contain liquid to be vaporized and a vaporizer housing (40) to house at least a part of a heating element (36) and a part of a fluid transfer element (38), which delivers liquid from the liquid store to the heating element, the heating element being configured to vaporize the received liquid and generate a vapor. A seal (44) is arranged to hold the vaporizer housing, and a holder (70) is attached to the seal. A pair of electrodes (80) are at least partially embedded within the structure of the holder, and provide an electrical connection between the first end of the capsule and an electronic cigarette device. The heating element (36) and electrodes (80) are in contact at the interface (60) between the seal (44) and the holder (70).
