  • Publication number: 20230337720
    Abstract: A cartridge is provided for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material. The cartridge has a housing defining a chamber and a pouch containing smokable material. The pouch is located within the chamber. At least part of the pouch is made of porous material for permitting aerosol or volatilized material generated within the pouch to pass out of the pouch from within the pouch. There is also provided a pouch having a first wall and a second wall. The pouch contains smokable material between the first wall and the second wall. A method of manufacturing a pouch is also disclosed in which the first wall is attached to the second wall with smokable material between the first wall and second wall.

  • Publication number: 20220312828
    Abstract: An article is provided for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The article has a carrier and smokable material arranged on the carrier. The smokable material has a first layer of smokable material and a second layer of smokable material. The first layer of smokable material is located between the carrier and the second layer of smokable material. The smokable material of the first layer of smokable material has a form or chemical composition that differs from the form or chemical composition, respectively, of the smokable material of the second layer of smokable material.

  • Patent number: 10863766
    Abstract: An article is provided for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material. The article has a body of porous aerosol containment material. An annular first body of smokable material is located around the body of porous aerosol containment material. There is also provided apparatus for heating smokable material having a first heater extending along an axis and a second heater spaced from and at least partially surrounding the first heater. A method of manufacturing an article for use with an apparatus is also disclosed in which an assembly having porous aerosol containment material on a first layer of smokable material is provided and rolled so the first layer of smokable material becomes an annular body of smokable material located around the porous aerosol containment material.
