Abstract

An aerosol-generating system is provided, including a heating element including a plurality of wires that are twisted together; and a capillary body, the capillary body being wound around the heating element. A method of manufacturing an aerosol-generating device is also provided, including providing a capillary body; twisting a plurality of wires together to form a heating element; and winding the capillary body around the heating element. The aerosol-generating system is advantageous in that the manufacturing process can be a fast and robust. The heater can be formed with high precision and consistency. Further, the heater and wick assembly are mechanically robust, allowing manual or automatic handling without affecting its dimensions. This allows for a consistent quality of production.
