Abstract

See full text

Aerosol delivery devices are provided. The aerosol delivery devices may include a power source configured to output electrical current. The aerosol delivery devices may also include an atomizer in fluid communication with a reservoir containing an aerosol precursor composition, the atomizer being configured to receive electrical current from the power source. The aerosol delivery devices may further include a dispensing mechanism including a shape-memory alloy configured to change shape in response to heat produced from electrical current provided by the power source and to selectively regulate flow of the aerosol precursor composition from the reservoir to the atomizer, the atomizer being configured to produce an aerosol therefrom.
