  • Publication number: 20190200673
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, an aerosol delivery device that includes the cartridge, and an aerosol device operation method. In various implementations the cartridge comprises a reservoir tank configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, a masking disc proximate the aerosol precursor composition, and a flavor disc proximate the masking disc. At least one of the masking disc or the flavor disc is configured to be rotated relative to the other to align an opening of the masking disc with a selected section of the flavor disc so as to allow the aerosol precursor composition to flow from the reservoir tank through the opening of the masking disc and the selected section of the flavor disc, such that, when the flavor section is selected, the flavorant is imparted to the aerosol precursor composition.
