  • Publication number: 20220167681
    Abstract: Provided is an assembly for use in an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material to generate an inhalable aerosol. The assembly having a structure delimiting an opening through which aerosolizable material can be removably inserted into the apparatus, a door coupled to the structure and movable between an open position where access to the opening is unrestricted and a closed position where access to the opening is restricted, and a latching arrangement configured to hold the door in at least one of the open position and the closed position when the door is in the one of the open position and the closed position until an external force is applied, in use, to release the latching arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20220160043
    Abstract: An aerosol provision system comprises a reservoir for containing an aerosol precursor material; an inlet port and an outlet port both fluidly connected to the reservoir; and a control unit configured to supply a pressurized fluid to the reservoir via the inlet port to increase the pressure within the reservoir relative to the pressure external to the reservoir to force the aerosol precursor material to exit the reservoir via the outlet port.
