Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery component comprising a tank defining a storage chamber for storing a first liquid aerosol precursor and an air bleed channel extending from an outside channel opening outside of the tank to an inside channel opening within the tank. The air bleed channel comprises an s-bend channel for retaining the first liquid aerosol precursor in an inverted orientation of the component. In this way, the air bleed channel may have a volume greater than 1% e.g. greater than 10% of the volume of the storage chamber.
