Abstract: An aerosol provision device includes a housing delimiting a first opening at a first end of the housing through which to receive aerosol generating material and delimiting a second opening at a second end of the housing. A chamber is positioned between the second opening and the first opening, wherein at least part of the chamber is configured to receive the aerosol generating material. At least one heater is arranged within the housing and configured to heat aerosol generating material received within the chamber thereby to generate an aerosol. An absorbent material for absorbing liquid is provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for an aerosol generating device comprises a first housing member for at least partly defining a chamber for containing a heater arrangement for heating an aerosol generating material; and a second housing member attached to the first housing member via an attachment. The first housing member and the second housing member define therebetween a passageway into the chamber. The passageway is configured to allow an electrical connecting member for connecting to the heater arrangement to extend through the passageway. The apparatus also comprises a sealing arrangement arranged to seal the passageway. The attachment between the first housing member and the second housing member is configured to hold the first housing member and the second housing member in a configuration which causes the sealing arrangement to seal the passageway.

Abstract: A method of assembling an apparatus (1) for heating aerosolisable material to volatilise at least one component of the aerosolisable material to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user, the apparatus having a first proximal end (3) and a second distal end (5), the method comprising the steps of providing a first chassis (19) for supporting a heating arrangement for receiving and heating aerosolisable material, the first chassis (19) or a component supported by the first chassis (19) comprising a first engagement element; providing a first sleeve (11b) to form at least a part of a casing of the apparatus, the first sleeve (11b) comprising a second engagement element; and inserting the first chassis (19) into a cavity of the first sleeve (11b) to cause automatic engagement of the first engagement element and the second engagement element during assembly of the apparatus (1).

Abstract: An aerosol provision device is described. A housing delimits a first opening at a first end of the housing through which to receive aerosol generating material and delimits a second opening at a second end of the housing. At least one heater is arranged within the housing and configured to heat the aerosol generating material received within the housing thereby to generate an aerosol. A hollow member is arranged within the housing and extends at least partially between the second and first openings. The hollow member has an end that faces the second opening and is configured to encourage the formation of liquid droplets.

Abstract: A casing for apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilise at least one component of the aerosolizable material to form an aerosol for inhalation by a user, the casing comprising: a sleeve for surrounding internal components of the apparatus; and a liner for the sleeve to disperse heat and control the distribution of temperature across the sleeve when the apparatus heats the aerosolizable material.

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.
