Electronic vapor provision device with user controls

Abstract

An electronic vapor provision device or component therefor has two or more user controls each operable by an actuating characteristic to allow a user to alter an associated operational parameter of the device, and all the user controls share a common actuating characteristic.

1 . An electronic vapor provision device, or a component for an electronic vapor provision device, comprising:
 two or more user controls each operable by an actuating characteristic to allow a user to alter an associated operational parameter of the device, wherein the two or more user controls share a common actuating characteristic,   wherein each of the two or more user controls comprises a rotatable dial and the actuating characteristic comprises rotation about an axis, each rotatable dial being rotatable about a common axis which is a longitudinal axis of the device, and the rotatable dials being arranged immediately adjacently along the longitudinal axis.   
     
     
         2 - 9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The device or the component according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two or more user controls is configured to alter an operational parameter of the device via an electrical connection to one or more components of the device. 
     
     
         11 . The device or the component according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the two or more user controls is configured to alter an operational parameter of the device via a mechanical adjustment of one or more components of the device. 
     
     
         12 . The device or the component according to  claim 1 , wherein the two or more user controls each share a common construction on an exterior of the device. 
     
     
         13 . The device or the component according to  claim 12 , wherein the two or more user controls each share a common appearance on the exterior of the device. 
     
     
         14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . The device or the component according to  claim 1 , wherein the operational parameters associated with the two or more controls include at least one of: airflow through the device; electrical power level to a heating element in the device; electrical power profile to a heating element in the device; nicotine level in an aerosol stream delivered by the device; flavor level in an aerosol stream delivered by the device; and flavor composition in an aerosol stream delivered by the device. 
     
     
         16 . An electronic vapor provision device comprising:
 at least two user-operated controls, each of the at least two user-operated controls providing adjustment of a corresponding operating parameter of the device,   wherein each of the at least two user-operated controls has the same configuration on an exterior of the device and requires the same actuating motion from a user to adjust the corresponding operating parameter, and wherein each of the at least two user-operated controls comprises a rotatable dial and the actuating motion comprises rotation about an axis, each rotatable dial being rotatable about a common axis which is a longitudinal axis of the device, and the rotatable dials being arranged immediately adjacently along the longitudinal axis.
