Description of individual code:

2.1.1 Tank type of CLs, APVs and EHs

A – Built-in Tank
Built-in tank is used for a vaporizer that is an integral part of the device with no replacement option.

B – Cartridge
Historically, for different types of the electronic vaping devices, the term cartridge has different meanings. For CLs, Cartridge is a prefilled replaceable tank that holds the liquid “juice,” with no evaporating coil. For APVs, EHs, HWOVs (Wax and Oil, only), Cartridge is a replaceable tank with an evaporating coil and a wick, into which the user can pour liquid “juice” on its own.

C – Cartomizer
Cartomizer is a disposable tank pre-filled with synthetic fibers or foam soaked in a liquid. Evaporating coil(s) represent(s) an integral part of the cartomizer.

D – Clearomizer
Clearomizer is a low- or medium-power vaporizer containing a small amount of liquid. Unlike cartomizers, they have a transparent body that allows users to check the liquid level visually. Disposable clearomizers are pre-filled by the manufacturer. They also come in refillable versions and allow for atomizer replacement.

E – Capsular
Capsular tank is a replaceable capsule-shaped vessel. The capsule systems are available both with and without a built-in coil.

F – RBA (Rebuildable Atomizer)
RBAs are intended only for experienced end-users and safety measures need to be closely observed, while building an RBA. Such an atomizer can be assembled and re-assembled many times over and its coil and wick can be replaced by a user. RBA design supports installation of either atomizers built independently by users or factory-manufactured RCAs. An RBA is outfitted with a liquid container. It is, essentially, a vaporizer module with a large- or medium-size vessel designed for holding an e-liquid.

G – RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer)
An RTA is outfitted with a liquid container similarly to an RBA. However, its design supports just installation of atomizers built independently by users and does not support installation of factory-manufactured atomizers.

H – RGA (Rebuildable Genesis Atomizer)
An RGA is outfitted with a liquid container similarly to an RBA and its design also supports just installation of atomizers built independently by users and does not support installation of factory-manufactured atomizers. A specific feature of the RGA is a metal mesh or a wire used as a wick.

I – RCA (Replaceable Atomizer)
RCA is an atomizer with a replaceable head. A vaporizer module includes a big- or medium-size liquid container and its design enables replacement of the atomizer head element by the user.

J – Drip Atomizer
Drip Atomizer is a vaporizer module without a vessel holding an e-liquid. A few drops of the e-liquid are “dripped” directly onto the coil of an atomizer, or rather onto a bridge installed over the coil. It requires frequent refills and doesn’t allow for replacement of the atomizer element.

K – RDA (Rebuildable Drip Atomizer)
Typically, “re-building” an atomizer involves removing the bridge hanging over the coil(s). The bridge is a small steel mesh that is positioned above the coil(s). It allows the e-liquid dispersed onto the coil to move evenly. The RDAs have wicks and coils that can be made and replaced by a user and these atomizers are gaining popularity throughout the industry.

L – Auto RDA (RDTA)
An Auto RDA (RDTA) is a serviceable vaporizer module that combines the RDA and RBA features. The liquid drips onto the wick or coil from a vessel positioned above.

M – Combined Atomizer/Vaporizer
A Combined Atomizer/Vaporizer Tank is a device designed both for e-liquids and herbal / floral blends. It allows a user to switch between the materials by replacing the respective assembly.

N – Squonk Tank
A type of tank that is used in conjunction with a special battery module that has an e-liquid reservoir. A channel is made in the central electrode of the connector (usually a threaded connector 510) through which fluid flows from the vial into the cavity of the Squonk Tank. Then the liquid saturates the wick, which delivers the liquid to the coils. There are several options for supplying fluid from the flacon to the Squonk Tank – manual compression of the soft bottle and using the electric pump built into the reservoir liquid.

O – MTL Tank
Type of Tanks in which the airflow passage is designed so that the puff of the MTL Tank resembles a tight classic cigarette puff. The abbreviation MTL stands like “Mouth To Lungs”.

P – DTL Tank
Type of Tanks in which the airflow passage is designed so that the puff of the DTL Tank resembles a tight classic hookah puff. The abbreviation DTL stands like “Direct To Lungs”.

Q – POD
POD – cartridge, which is pre-filled with liquid in the factory. Has an evaporator and a wick. The user can not fill the liquid by himself. The volume of liquid in the cartridge does not exceed 1 ml.

R – POD Semi Closed
POD Semi Closed – cartridge, which is pre-filled with liquid at the factory. But it can also be supplied to the consumer not filled with liquid. To fill the liquid there is a filler hole, which is closed by a plug. It has an evaporator and a wick. The volume of liquid in the cartridge does not exceed 1 ml.

S – POD MOD
POD MOD – cartridge, which is pre-filled with liquid at the factory. But it can also be supplied to the consumer not filled with liquid. To fill the liquid there is a filler hole, which is closed by a plug. It has an evaporator and a wick. The volume of liquid in the cartridge is from 1 ml to 4 ml.

2.2 Introduction (symbol 2-2)

We define performance as a combination of E-liquid tank for section quantity and output level attributes. The former of these two attributes determine the quantity of liquid-holding tank cavities or sections and the latter is a major performance characteristic of the vaping device. Numeric coding is used for this symbol and the following eight options are available:

1 – Single Section, Low Output for APVs or EHs or Low Output for CLs or HWOVs or HDs

2 – Single Section, Medium Output for APVs or EHs or Medium Output for CLs or HWOVs or HDs

Coding systems of the Group 2 options for APVs and Es are identical and for Ps the entire Group 2 is substituted with “XXXXX.”

For CLs, APVs, EHs devices, the symbol 2.5 is denoted as X, because these types of devices do not have this type of heater.

For the certain category of the HWOVs devices symbol 2.4 is indicated as X in the case when the device does not have a container for liquid oil or wax, an evaporator with a heater, and a wick. These types of HWOVs are designed to heat a dry herb substance or to vaporize wax or oil with manual dripping.
For the certain category of the HWOVs devices, the symbol 2.5 is indicated as X in the case when the device has a container for liquid oil or wax, an evaporator with a heater, and a wick. These types of HWOVs are designed to vaporize wax or oil, but not by dripping wax or oil onto a heater. Oil or wax is fed to the heater through a wick. Also, such devices are not intended for heating dry herbal substances.

For CLs, APVs or EHs, the first symbol in the Vaporizer Attribute group is allocated solely to a single attribute that is tank type. Alphabetic coding is used for this symbol and the following thirteen alphabetic options are available:

2.5 Introduction (symbol 2-5)

This section describes the types of heaters that are used in HnB devices for heating dry plant matter to evaporate the active substance from them. In this case, the process of burning or smoldering does not occur, which allows reducing the level of harmful substances for the smoker.

Since the hybrid device consists of two types of devices combined in one case, here we will consider the options for heaters for the DHp part which is used to heat dry substance.

The Lp part of the hybrid device is completely similar to the design of CLs and APVs evaporators, this Lp part of LHDs is described in the previous part 2.4.

For CLs, APVs, EHs devices, the symbol 2.5 is denoted as X, because these types of devices do not have this type of heater.

For HVOVs and HDs (DHp) devices used alphabetic coding for this symbol, and the following six parameters are available:

A – Pit Heater
B – Rod Heater
C – Open Coil (only for HWOVs)
D – Irradiative Heater
E – Induction Heater
F – Tube Heater

A – Pit Heater
This heater is made in the form of a block with a recess. Herbal or floral blend subject to vaporization is placed into this recess and, therefore, is in direct contact with the heater. Thermal conductivity is the primary mechanism for heating herbal or floral blends with these heaters.
This heater is usually made of ceramic material that surrounds a heating element and can be metal-plated.

B – Rod Heater
This heater is made in the form of a thin rod, needle or made in the form of a flat plate. A capsule of herbal or floral blend subject to vaporization is impaled with this heater and is in direct contact with it. Thermal conductivity is the primary mechanism for heating herbal or floral blends with these heaters, too.
This heater is usually made of a ceramic material that surrounds a heating element and can be metal-plated.

C – Open Coil (only for HWOVs)
This heater is made in the form of an open Nichrome or Kanthal coil surrounded with a screen that prevents a direct contact of the heater with the herbal or floral blend subject to vaporization. Convection is the primary mechanism for heating herbal or floral blends with these heaters.

D – Irradiative Heater
This heater is made in the form of a thermal radiation source that heats the herbal or floral blend subject to vaporization without a direct contact with it. Thermal radiation is the primary mechanism for heating the herbal or floral blends with these heaters.

E – Induction Heater
This heater works on the principle of non-contact heating of electrically conductive materials by high-frequency currents. Dry Herbal substance is placed in a container made of metal (usually stainless steel) or wrapped in metal foil, or metal elements are introduced into the substrate of the herbal substance. High-frequency currents heat the metal or foil, which in turn transfers heat to the Dry herb substrate.

F – Tube Heater
This heater made of a heat-resistant material on which a resistive layer of metal is applied.

In this case, the cigarette or pre-formed dry herb capsule is inserted inside the tubular heater, and heat is transferred from it to the dry plant matter through the paper sleeve of the cigarette.

2.6 Summary

This section includes description of the second group of attributes applicable to vaporizers of CLs, APVs, EHs, HWOVs and HDs. This group is coded using five alphanumeric symbols for CLs, APVs, EHs, HWOVs or HDs.

Hyphen (-) is used in our classification system as a divider between the second and third groups of symbols. Continuing the example shown in Section 1.4 for a modular APV with a serviceable coil and a threaded connector, the first and second code groups (with the dividers between the first and the second and the second and the third groups) for APV of this category with a single-section clearomizer and high output, with external control, adjustable air flow, non-adjustable liquid feed and multiple upper coils, we designate this device with the following first two code groups and respective dividers:

O7/D3G4X-…
