An aerosol generation device has a partially opaque portion for rendering an illumination unit non-visible when the illumination unit is not emitting light. An illumination unit for an aerosol generation device includes a plurality of light sources, wherein each of the light sources is configured to operate in a first power operation mode illuminating the light source at a first brightness level, and a second power operation mode for illuminating the light source at a second brightness level different from the first brightness level, wherein one or more light sources of the plurality of light sources form a contiguous illumination region when the one or more of the plurality of light source are emitting light, and wherein the illumination region is configured to provide to a user visual feedback that indicates a state of the aerosol generation device or a consumable used with the aerosol generation device.

An aerosol generation device includes an indicator and a controller connectable to a battery and a heater. The heater is configurable to aerosolise a unit of aerosol generating material in an aerosolisation session and the battery is configurable to provide power to the heater for one or more aerosolisation sessions. The controller is configured to measure a charge level of the battery, determine whether the measured charge level is sufficient for only a predetermined number N of aerosolisation sessions by the heater, and to indicate, using the indicator in a first manner, when the measured charge level is sufficient for only N aerosolisation sessions by the heater.

An aerosol generation device includes an optical code detector. More specifically, an aerosol generation device comprises: a casing defining an opening for insertion of an aerosol generation carrier; a heating chamber configured to partially contain the aerosol generation carrier such that at least a portion of the aerosol generation carrier extends outside the heating chamber; and an optical detection unit comprising an image detector arranged for optically detecting a code provided on a section of a surface of the portion of the aerosol generation carrier extending outside the heating chamber. The heating chamber is configured to heat a portion of the aerosol generation carrier inserted in the heating chamber.

An aerosol generation device includes a casing; an aperture in the casing through which aerosol generating material is insertable into the aerosol generation device; a closure moveable relative to the aperture between a closed position in which the closure covers the aperture, an open position in which the aperture is unobstructed by the closure, and an activation position that is different from the open position; and a detector arranged to detect movement of the closure from the closed position to the open position and between the open position and the activation position.

An aerosol generation device has a body and a closure. The body has an aperture through which an aerosol substrate is receivable into the aerosol generation device. The closure is moveable relative to the aperture between a closed position in which the closure covers the aperture and an open position in which the aperture is substantially unobstructed by the closure; the closure is stable in each of the closed position and the open position. The closure is further moveable from the open position to an activation position. At the activation position, the aerosol generation device is operable to initiate an activation signal.

An aerosol generating system includes an aerosol generating device and a charging case for charging the aerosol generating device when it is received in the case. The aerosol generating device includes a device battery; a heating chamber including a lid arranged to move between an open and closed position to allow a consumable to be received in the heating chamber. The charging case includes a case battery; a receiving means for receiving the aerosol generating device in a charging position within the case. When the aerosol generating device is received in the charging position: the device battery is connectable to the case battery to charge the device battery; and the lid of the heating chamber is moveable to allow a consumable to be inserted or removed from the heating chamber by a user.

A vapour generating device is provided with a vapour generating place and a cover defining a closable opening to the vapour generating place. The cover is biased toward a closed position, so that dust and particulate matter may not readily enter the vapour generating place, and openable to an open position when receiving a vapour generating rod.
