Abstract

An aerosol generating device includes a first vaporizer configured to generate a first aerosol by heating a first liquid composition, a second vaporizer configured to generate a second aerosol by heating a second liquid composition, and a controller controlling power supplied to the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer, based on a first mode, in which a smokeless aerosol is generated, and a second mode, in which a transport amount of nicotine included in the second liquid composition is adjusted.

Claims (28)

1. An aerosol generating device comprising:

a first vaporizer configured to generate a first aerosol by heating a first liquid composition;

a second vaporizer configured to generate a second aerosol by heating a second liquid composition; and

a controller controlling power supplied to the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer, based on a first mode, in which a smokeless aerosol is generated, and a second mode, in which a transport amount of nicotine included in the second liquid composition is adjusted.

2. The aerosol generating device of claim 1 , wherein the first liquid composition comprises a first moisturizer and nicotine.

3. The aerosol generating device of claim 2 , wherein the first moisturizer only comprises vegetable glycerin.

4. The aerosol generating device of claim 2 , wherein the first moisturizer comprises a mixture in which vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol are mixed at a certain ratio.

5. The aerosol generating device of claim 4 , wherein a ratio of the vegetable glycerin to the propylene glycol in the first moisturizer is between about 4:1 and about 9:1.

6. The aerosol generating device of claim 1 , further comprising a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device.

7. The aerosol generating device of claim 6 , wherein

the communication unit is configured to receive a remote control signal from the external device, and

the controller is configured to control power supplied to the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer, based on the remote control signal.

8. The aerosol generating device of claim 7 , wherein the remote control signal comprises mode selection information regarding the first and second modes and power control information corresponding to a selected mode.

9. The aerosol generating device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to supply power only to the second vaporizer in the first mode.

10. The aerosol generating device of claim 9 , wherein

the first mode comprises a plurality of sub-modes, and

the controller is configured to supply power to the second vaporizer to enable an output of the second vaporizer to be in a range from about 50% to about 100% of a maximum output of the second vaporizer, corresponding to the plurality of sub-modes.

11. The aerosol generating device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to, in the second mode, selectively supply power to the second vaporizer while power is supplied to the first vaporizer.

12. The aerosol generating device of claim 11 , wherein

the second mode comprises a plurality of sub-modes, and

the controller is configured to

supply power to the first vaporizer to enable an output of the first vaporizer to range from about 80% to about 100% of a maximum output of the first vaporizer, corresponding to the plurality of sub-modes, and

supply power to the second vaporizer to enable an output of the second vaporizer to range from about 0% to about 70% of a maximum output of the second vaporizer.

13. The aerosol generating device of claim 1 , further comprising a chamber in which the first aerosol and the second aerosol are mixed.

14. The aerosol generating device of claim 13 , wherein at least a portion of the chamber is formed as the first vaporizer is coupled to the second vaporizer.

15. The aerosol generating device of claim 13 , wherein

the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer are integrally formed, and

at least a portion of the chamber is formed by the first vaporizer and the second vaporizer that are integrally formed.
