The invention relates to an aerosol-generating device. The aerosol-generating device comprises a first housing portion and a second housing portion. The first housing portion comprises a cavity for receiving an aerosol-generating article comprising aerosol-forming substrate. The first housing portion and second housing portion are configured arrangeable in a first position, in which the first housing portion is extended relative to the second housing position, and in which the cavity is accessible for insertion of the aerosol-generating article. The first housing portion and second housing portion are configured arrangeable in a second position, in which the second housing portion is retracted at least partly within the cavity.

Aerosol-generating device with movable portions

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including: a first air inlet and an air outlet; a liquid storage portion holding a liquid aerosol-forming substrate and having a liquid outlet and a storage portion air inlet; an airflow passage from the first air inlet to the air outlet past the liquid outlet; a wick in the airflow passage at a distance from the liquid outlet and to receive liquid from the liquid storage portion in response to a pressure drop in the airflow passage at the liquid outlet; and a first heating element to heat the liquid in the wick, and the airflow passage extending from the first air inlet to the air outlet past the storage portion air inlet and past the liquid outlet such that air enters the liquid storage portion via the storage portion air inlet and then travels therethrough and exits at the liquid outlet.

Aerosol-generating system with leakage prevention

An aerosol-generating device for generating an aerosol by inductively heating an aerosol-forming substrate is provided, the device including: a device housing including a cavity to removably receive the substrate; an inductive heating arrangement including an induction coil configured to generate an alternating magnetic field within the cavity in a range between 500 kHz to 30 MHz, the coil being formed by a plurality of turns of a composite cable arranged around the cavity, the cable including a first side facing inward towards the cavity, a second side opposite to the first side facing outward away from the cavity, and an electrical conductor embedded in an insulating conductor encasement and including non-insulated wires in electrical contact with each other, and the conductor being arranged asymmetrically with regard to an outer cross-section of the cable to be closer to the first side than to the second side.
