Abstract: An aerosol provision device and systems as well as related methods of using. The aerosol provision device has a device housing defining a device chamber, a heating element protruding into the chamber from an end of the device chamber, and a receptacle defining a heating chamber arranged to receive at least a portion of a consumable including aerosolizable material. The receptacle is at least partially removably disposed within the device chamber and includes a contact feature arranged to make sliding contact with the heating element during removal of the receptacle from the device chamber.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device includes a device housing having a device chamber, an induction coil for generating a varying magnetic field, and a removable receptacle arranged to be at least partially received in the device chamber; the receptacle having a base, a wall arrangement extending from the base, the base and wall arrangement defining a heating chamber arranged to removably receive at least a portion of an article including aerosol generating material, a heating element protruding into the heating chamber from the base, the heating element heatable by the induction coil for heating at least a portion of an article having aerosol generating material received in the heating chamber, and a closed channel formed within the wall arrangement, the closed channel at least partially extending in the device chamber to provide airflow to the heating chamber when the receptacle is in the device chamber.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device can include a heater assembly. The heater assembly has a heating chamber arranged to receive at least a portion of an article comprising aerosol generating material, and a heating element configured to heat a portion of the article received in the heating chamber. A base is provided at one end of the heating chamber. A spacer is also provided to space the article from the base when at least the portion of the article is received in the heating chamber.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device heating system includes a heating region that can receive at least a portion of an article comprising aerosol generating material. The system also includes a first susceptor that extends within the heating region, and a second susceptor that at least partially surrounds at least a portion of the heating region. A first induction coil generates a first varying magnetic field that penetrates, and causes heating in, the first susceptor. A second induction coil generates a second varying magnetic field that penetrates, and causes heating in, the second susceptor. The first and second induction coils may be independently controllable.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device and related methods of using the device where the device includes a device housing defining a chamber and a heater assembly. The assembly includes a receptacle defining a heating chamber arranged to removably receive at least a portion of an article having aerosol generating material, and a heating element for heating at least a portion of an article having aerosol generating material received in the heating chamber. The receptacle is removably disposed within the device housing chamber and is configured such that rotation of the receptacle relative to the device housing allows it to be engaged or disengaged with the device housing. A system and a kit of parts can include the device.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device has a heater assembly with a receptacle defining a heating chamber arranged to receive at least a portion of an article including aerosol generating material, a heating element configured to heat a portion of the article received in the heating chamber, and a mount supporting the heating element. The heating element includes a heating portion and an anchoring portion, and the anchoring portion is insert molded into the mount such that the anchoring portion is embedded within the mount. Also disclosed are a heater assembly of the device, methods of forming the same, and an aerosol provision system that includes the device and an article comprising aerosol generating material.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device heating system is described. The system includes a heating region that can receive at least a portion of an article including aerosol generating material. The system also includes a first heating element that extends within a first portion of the heating region, and a second heating element that at least partially surrounds a second portion of the heating region. In some arrangements, at least part of the first heating element extending within the heating region is offset from the second heating element. In some arrangements, most of the second heating element is offset from the first heating element.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device includes an induction coil for generating a varying magnetic field, and a heater assembly having a heating chamber for receiving at least a portion of an article having aerosolizable material, a base, and a heating element heatable by the induction coil, the heating element protruding into the heating chamber from the base and defining an axis (A), and a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature of the heating element, wherein the temperature sensor is positioned in contact with the heating element in the base of the heater assembly and separated from the heating chamber.

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).
