Title:
METHODS FOR ANALYSING ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE SMOKE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/142091
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of analysing a sample is disclosed that comprises activating an electronic cigarette ("e-cigarette") or other vaporising or atomising device such that the electronic cigarette or other device emits aerosol, smoke, vapour and/or droplets, mass analysing the aerosol, smoke, vapour and/or droplets,and characterising the aerosol, smoke, vapour and/or droplets based on the mass analysis.
