The present disclosure relates to a smoking substitute system and particularly, although not exclusively, to a smoking substitute device. The smoking substitute device is adapted to operate in a smoking operation while receiving power from an external power source. The smoking substitute device in particular comprises a rechargeable battery and a port to receive power for charging the rechargeable battery, wherein the device is adapted to operate while receiving power from the port.

Smoking substitute system

An aerosol-forming article (e.g. a heat-not-burn consumable) comprising an aerosol-forming substrate formed of a plurality of longitudinally-aligned, elongate shreds of plant material, wherein the plant material comprises at least one cannabinoid compound selected from cannabidiol (CBD) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabigerol (CBG) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabinol (CBN) and its derivatives/homologues, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabicyclol (CBL) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabichromene (CBC) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabielsoin (CBE) and its derivatives/homologues, cannabicitran (CBT) and its derivatives/homologues.

Smoking substitute consumable

A heat not burn consumable () is provided. The consumable includes a tubular vapour generating member () defining a channel therethrough. At least an active portion of the vapour generating member is configured to be heated by a heater to produce vapour. The tubular vapour generating member has an inlet to the channel at a first end of the consumable, the first end of the consumable being for cooperation with a heating device. The active portion of the vapour generating member has a sidewall which has a thickness greater than 0.1 mm. This allows for rapid and consistent heating of the vapour generating member. The active portion comprises an amount of an active substance which is between 0.0001 milligrams per mm{circumflex over ( )}2 and 0.02 milligrams per mm{circumflex over ( )}2 of said internal surface area. The vapour generating member has an overall length which is greater than 50% of a total length of the consumable. This may allow for efficient manufacture of the consumable. The consumable also includes an inactive structural tube in axial abutment with the tubular vapour generating member and located downstream of the vapour generating member. A wrapper overwraps the vapour generating member and at least a portion of the inactive tube. This may allow for efficient manufacture of the consumable.

Substitute smoking consumable

An aerosol-forming article is disclosed having an improved filter at its axial downstream end, for instance a mouthpiece end. The improved filter comprises a filter segment having a plurality of bores extending there through, wherein a cooling segment is arranged upstream of the filter segment, the cooling segment comprising portion having a central bore that forms a central region extending around a central axis of the aerosol-forming article and a center of each bore of the plurality of bores is arranged radially outside of the central region.

A smoking substitute device comprising a heater connected to a main body of the device. The device includes a cap covering at least a portion of the heater. The cap is releasably engaged with a main body of the device. The cap is configured to be released from engagement with the main body of the device using a removal key.

A heat not burn consumable () comprising a plant product () interspersed with a thermally conductive material in alternating layers such as radially or circumferentially alternating layers. The thermally conductive material may comprise at least one tubular element or may have a spiral configuration. The thermally conductive material may form spokes (A-E) within the plant product. A heating element may abut a first longitudinal end face () of the consumable () with a longitudinally-extending conductive element () which protruding axially from the longitudinal end face (). The plant product () may have a smooth surface and the thermally conductive material () may be textured. The layers of thermally conductive material may have a grid configuration or a boustrophedonic configuration.
