External heating-type aerosol generating device and cigarette used therein
Provided are an external heating-type aerosol generating device and a cigarette used therein. Because heat energy is easily transferred to the cigarette, a sufficient amount of smoke may be provided to a user in initial puffs so that the user may have a satisfactory smoking experience.
1. A cigarette for use with an aerosol generating device,
the cigarette comprising:
a medium portion wrapper surrounding a first medium portion which includes a medium configured to generate an aerosol when heated;
a second medium portion directly adjacent to the first medium portion, the second medium portion comprising at least one of a sheet, a strand, or pipe tobacco formed of tiny bits cut from a tobacco sheet to generate nicotine; and
an outer shell surrounding the first medium portion, which is surrounded by the medium portion wrapper, the second medium portion and components other than the first medium portion and the second medium portion, collectively,
wherein the medium portion wrapper comprises laminated paper in which paper and metal having a preset thickness and thermal conductivity are laminated,
wherein the medium portion wrapper is coated with a thermal conductivity enhancement material comprising at least one of potassium citrate and sodium citrate, and
wherein the first medium portion is configured to be heated by a heater external to the cigarette and the second medium portion is configured to be heated by the outer shell.
2. The cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the thickness is an arbitrarily determined value from about 6.3 μm to about 30 μm.
3. The cigarette of claim 2 , wherein the metal comprises aluminum.
4. The cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the thickness is an arbitrarily determined value from about 6 μm to about 30 μm.
5. The cigarette of claim 4 , wherein the metal comprises copper.
6. A cigarette for use with an aerosol generating device,
the cigarette comprising:
a medium portion wrapper surrounding a first medium portion which includes a medium configured to generate an aerosol when heated;
a second medium portion directly adjacent to the first medium portion, the second medium portion comprising at least one of a sheet, a strand, or pipe tobacco formed of tiny bits cut from a tobacco sheet to generate nicotine; and
an outer shell surrounding the first medium portion, which is surrounded by the medium portion wrapper, the second medium portion, and components other than the first medium portion and the second medium portion, collectively,
wherein the medium portion wrapper comprises paper containing Activated Carbon Fiber (ACF) internally,
wherein the medium portion wrapper is coated with a thermal conductivity enhancement material comprising at least one of potassium citrate and sodium citrate, and
wherein the first medium portion is configured to be heated by a heater external to the cigarette and the second medium portion is configured to be heated by the outer shell.
7. The cigarette of claim 6 , wherein the paper internally contains the ACF at an arbitrarily determined ratio of about 25% to about 50%.
8. The cigarette of claim 6 , wherein the paper has a porosity value set in advance by containing the ACF internally.
9. A cigarette for use with an aerosol generating device,
the cigarette comprising:
a base part wrapper surrounding an aerosol base portion which includes an aerosol generating material configured to generate an aerosol when heated;
a medium portion wrapper surrounding a medium portion which includes a medium configured to generate the aerosol when heated; and
an outer shell surrounding the aerosol base portion and the medium portion, which are respectively surrounded by the base portion wrapper and the medium portion wrapper, and other components, collectively,
wherein the base portion wrapper and the medium portion wrapper each comprise laminated paper in which paper and metal having a preset thickness and heat conductivity are laminated, and
wherein the base portion wrapper or the medium portion wrapper is coated with a thermal conductivity enhancement material comprising at least one of potassium citrate and sodium citrate, and
wherein the aerosol base portion is configured to be heated by a heater external to the cigarette and the medium portion is configured to be heated by the outer shell.
10. The cigarette of claim 9 , wherein the thickness is an arbitrarily determined value from about 6.3 μm to about 30 μm.
11. The cigarette of claim 10 , wherein the metal comprises aluminum.
12. The cigarette of claim 9 , wherein the thickness is an arbitrarily determined value from about 6 μm to about 30 μm.
13. The cigarette of claim 12 , wherein the metal comprises copper.
