There is disclosed an aerosol delivery system comprising: an aerosol-generating device () comprising: —a device housing having an open-ended heating chamber configured to receive a carrier cartridge (); —a heater element () disposed within the heating chamber () and configured to receive at least a first end of a carrier cartridge (), said heating element operable to heat a carrier substrate of a carrier unit of said carrier cartridge () to cause release of an aerosol-forming precursor therefrom to generate an aerosol when gas is passed through the carrier cartridge (); and—a carrier cartridge comprising a carrier unit (), said carrier unit comprising a carrier substrate configured to hold an aerosol-forming precursor comprising a nicotine-containing and/or flavoured fluid, gel, wax, or powder. Also disclosed are a carrier cartridge (), carrier unit (), methods of manufacturing one or more components of said system, and a kit-of-parts for assembling the system.

System and apparatus for aerosol delivery and methods of manufacturing

The present invention relates to an inhaler comprising: an assembly including a heater element arranged in the inhaler to be proximal to a substrate region configured for supporting a vapour or atomiser precursor substrate; wherein the assembly is configured such that the heater element is operative to achieve and maintain a target temperature in the substrate region throughout a period corresponding to a plurality of consecutive uses of the inhaler.

Inhaler apparatus

There is disclosed a device for nicotine delivery, comprising: a vapour outlet conduit for coupling to, and for fluid communication with, a vapour creation system, said vapour outlet conduit defining a fluid passage therethrough for delivery of vapour from a vapour creation system to a user; wherein said vapour outlet conduit comprises a nicotine carrier unit region configured to accept a nicotine carrier unit and retain said nicotine carrier unit in said fluid passage. Also disclosed is a system for nicotine delivery and kits-of-parts for assembling the device and system.

Device and system

A dispenser for dispensing a liquid is disclosed. The dispenser comprises an outlet for dispensing a liquid, a reservoir for liquid, and a closure configured to engage with the dispenser and movable between a closed position in which the outlet is enclosed and an open position in which the outlet is not enclosed. The dispenser further comprises an arrangement for controlling liquid communication between the reservoir and the outlet, the arrangement and reservoir movable with respect to each other between a first configuration in which the reservoir is not in liquid communication with the outlet and a second configuration in which the reservoir is in liquid communication with the outlet. By requiring a second movement after removal of the closure accidental access or dispensing of the contents may be avoided or reduced.
