There is also provided a system including the article and a non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the article.

Article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system

There is described a container for an aerosol provision device for providing an inhalable medium comprising an aerosol, the container including a first section and second and third sections either side of the first section, wherein the first section and the second and third sections each includes a respective material that permits the aerosol generated in the device to flow into and through the container. A first substance is distributed in the material of the first section, the first substance for modifying a property of the aerosol when the aerosol flows through the container. The material of at least one of the second and third sections is substantially free of the first substance and acts as a barrier to prevent first substance exiting the container.

Container for an aerosol provision device

A receptacle section for an aerosol provision article is described. The aerosol provision article is for generating a flow of aerosol in use. The receptacle section is arranged for receiving therein an activatable element for modifying, once activated, a property of the flow of aerosol. The receptacle section includes at least one activating element operable to apply, after an installation of the activatable element in the receptacle section by a user, a force to the activatable element to activate the activatable element installed in the receptacle section in use.

Receptacle section

There is described a substance container for an aerosol provision device for providing an inhalable medium including an aerosol. The substance container includes a body of material that is permeable so as to allow the aerosol generated in the device to flow into and through the body of material and a substance in the body of material for modifying a property of the aerosol when the aerosol flows through the body of material.

An aerosol generating assembly includes an aerosol generating device () having a coil and an aerosol generating article. The aerosol generating article has a substantially cylindrical rod of aerosol generating material of between aboutmm and about 1mm looms in length, and the article and device are arranged with respect to each other such that the aerosol generating material is heatable by the device. The aerosol generating material can have at leastmg of nicotine and/or at least aboutmg of aerosol generating agent.

Aerosol generation

An article for use with an apparatus for heating aerosol generating agent to volatilize at least one component of the aerosol generating agent, the article including a support layer having a first surface, wherein at least a portion of the first surface is rough and an aerosol generating agent on the portion of the first surface that is rough.

Article for use with an apparatus for heating an aerosol generating agent

A support for a heater component of an aerosol provision device defines an axis and is configured to engage an end of the heater component to hold the heater component substantially parallel to the axis at a predetermined distance from a coil. The support defines a channel to receive a wire of a temperature sensor, and the channel defines an opening into a space between the heater component and the coil. An aerosol provision device is also described which comprises: a heater component configured to heat aerosol generating material; a first support, wherein the first support defines an axis and is configured to engage a first end of the heater component; a second support, wherein the second support is configured to engage a second end of the heater component; and at least one coil configured to heat the heater component. The first and second supports hold the heater component substantially parallel to the axis at a predetermined distance from the at least one coil.

Aerosol provision device

There is described a cartridge for use with an apparatus for heating aerosol generating material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosol generating material. The cartridge includes a first body defining a first chamber and aerosol generating material is located within the first chamber. The first body includes a first base including a sheet of heat conductive material and has a first outer surface and at least a major portion of the first outer surface is for contacting a first heating surface of a heater of the apparatus for heating the aerosol generating material within the first chamber.

Apparatus for heating aerosol generating material and a cartridge for the apparatus

A non-combustible aerosol provision system includes an article comprising a rod of aerosol generating material having a circumference greater than 19 mm and a non-combustible aerosol provision device for heating the aerosol generating material of the article, the non-combustible aerosol provision device comprising a coil.

Aerosol provision system

An aerosol provision device for generating aerosol for user inhalation can include a first aerosol generating area and a second aerosol generating area each for receiving an aerosol precursor material; a mouthpiece from which a user inhales generated aerosol during use, wherein the mouthpiece comprises first and second mouthpiece openings; a first pathway extending from the first aerosol generating area to the first mouthpiece opening for transporting a first aerosol generated from the aerosol precursor material in the first aerosol generating area; and a second pathway extending from the second aerosol generating area chamber to the second mouthpiece opening for transporting a second aerosol generated from the aerosol precursor material in the second aerosol generating area, wherein the first and second pathways are physically isolated from one another to prevent mixing of the first and second aerosols as the first and second aerosols are transported along the respective pathways.

Electronic aerosol provision system

There is described an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material. The apparatus includes a heating chamber for containing aerosolizable material and a first heater arrangement for heating aerosolizable material contained in use within the heating chamber. The first heater arrangement is arranged to heat at least two sides of the aerosolizable material in the heating chamber. There is further provided an air flow channel outside of the heating chamber that runs alongside the first heater arrangement and is arranged such that, in use, when a user draws on a device comprising the apparatus, air flows into the apparatus and through the air flow channel so as to be preheated in the air flow channel by the first heater arrangement before flowing into the heating chamber and through the aerosolizable material.
