An aerosol-generating system is provided, including: an aerosol-generating device including a heater element; and an aerosol-generating article configured to engage with the aerosol-generating device and including a medicament source; a volatile delivery enhancing compound source; at least one frangible barrier sealing the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source; and at least one piercing element disposed on a wall of the aerosol-generating article, the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source being moveable relative to the at least one piercing element, and the at least one piercing element being configured to pierce the at least one frangible barrier when activated by a user.

Aerosol-generating system comprising integrated piercing element

A shisha consumable article () for use with an external assembly such as a shisha assembly is described. The shisha consumable article includes a housing () defining a first compartment () and a second compartment () being adjacent to the first compartment. The second compartment is adjacent to, and sealed or air impermeable from, the first compartment. A combustible heat source () is contained within the first compartment and an aerosol-forming substrate () is contained within the second compartment.

Shisha consumable article

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heater element, and an aerosol-generating article configured to engage with the aerosol-generating device, the aerosol-generating article including a medicament source, a volatile delivery enhancing compound source, and at least one frangible barrier sealing the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source, the aerosol-generating system further including a rupturing portion forming part of the aerosol-generating device or the aerosol-generating article, the aerosol-generating system being configured to allow relative sliding movement between the rupturing portion and the at least one frangible barrier to rupture the at least one frangible barrier.

Aerosol-generating system comprising a rupturing portion

A shisha device () includes a device air inlet (); a device outlet (); an aerosol chamber () and a vessel (). The aerosol chamber has a chamber inlet () and a chamber outlet () and is configured to house a consumable comprising an aerosol-generating substrate (). The vessel has a vessel inlet () and a vessel outlet () and defines an interior configured to contain liquid () when the device is in use. The device is configured such that, in use, airflow through the aerosol chamber that exits the chamber outlet exits the device outlet without flowing through the liquid stored in the vessel. Thus, water soluble constituents in the aerosol may be delivered to a user of the shisha device rather than being dissolved and trapped in the liquid in the vessel.

Shisha device having air flow path

A shisha device () for use with a cartridge () containing an aerosol-generating substrate () includes a vessel, a receptacle, and an electrical heating element. The cartridge comprises a housing surrounding the aerosol-generating substrate. The vessel defines an interior configured to contain liquid () and defines an outlet in communication with the interior of the vessel. The receptacle is configured to receive the cartridge. The heating element is configured to heat the aerosol-generating substrate in the cartridge to generate an aerosol when the cartridge is received by the receptacle. The heating element is configured to heat the tobacco substrate to an extent sufficient to generate the aerosol without combusting the aerosol-generating substrate.

Shisha device for heating a substrate without combustion

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heater element, and an aerosol-generating article configured to engage with the aerosol-generating device. The aerosol-generating article includes a medicament source, a volatile delivery enhancing compound source, and at least one frangible barrier sealing the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source. The aerosol-generating system also includes at least one piercing element disposed on one of the aerosol-generating device and the aerosol-generating article, the at least one piercing element being configured to pierce the at least one frangible barrier when activated by a user.

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heater element; an aerosol-generating article, including a medicament source and a volatile delivery enhancing compound source; and at least one resilient member provided in the aerosol-generating device or the aerosol-generating article and being resiliently biased against the heater element, wherein at least one of the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source contacts the at least one resilient member, and the aerosol-generating system is configured to heat the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source of the aerosol-generating article so that the medicament source has a higher temperature than that of the volatile delivery enhancing compound source.

Aerosol-generating system comprising a resilient member

An aerosol-forming article is provided, including an airflow inlet and an airflow outlet; a medicament source and a volatile delivery enhancing compound source disposed between the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet, and a moveable portion moveable between an open position in which the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source are in fluid communication with both the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet, and a closed position in which each of the medicament source and the volatile delivery enhancing compound source is in communication with only one or none of the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet.

Resealable aerosol-generating article

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heater element; an aerosol-generating article including a medicament source and a volatile delivery enhancing compound source; a bimetallic strip provided in the aerosol-generating device or the aerosol-generating article, the bimetallic strip including a first end in thermal contact with the heater element and a second end in thermal contact with the volatile delivery enhancing compound source, the bimetallic strip being configured so that heating the first end of the bimetallic strip above a predetermined temperature results in displacement of the first end of the bimetallic strip away from the heater element.
