  • Publication number: 20230248076
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an article for use in an aerosol provision system. The article is a consumable for insertion into an aerosol provision device. The aerosol provision device comprises a heating assembly having a wall that at least partially defines a chamber for receiving said consumable for heating during use of the device, where heating the consumable causes deposits of condensate to form on said wall. The consumable comprises a first section of aerosol generating material and a second section of absorbent material. The absorbent material is exposed at least partially along a length of said consumable for direct contact with said wall of said chamber to absorb said deposits when the consumable is received in the chamber. The present invention also relates to an article for cleaning an aerosol provision device and a method thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220218033
    Abstract: Disclosed are various aerosol provision devices that may inhibit or prevent the accumulation of condensation, during use, in a conduit that connects the device's heating chamber to the device's exterior. In devices according to one aspect, the interior surface of such a conduit is heated during a session of use. In devices according to another aspect, the interior surface of such a conduit is heated, such that at least a portion of its interior surface attains a temperature greater than or equal to 85° C. In devices according to another aspect, a portion of the interior surface of such a conduit has a thermal conductivity greater than or equal to 1 W/m/K. In another aspect, the interior surface of such a conduit is heated such that at least a middle portion of the interior surface attains a temperature greater than or equal to 70° C.
