  • Publication number: 20250127218
    Abstract: An aerosol provision system (1) for generating an aerosol. The aerosol provision system comprises a first reservoir (31) for storing a first aerosol-generating material, wherein the aerosol provision system (1) is configured to generate a first aerosol using the first aerosol-generating material. The aerosol provision system (1) also comprises a second reservoir (101) for storing an active substance, or second aerosol-generating material such that the aerosol provision system (1) is configured to generate a second aerosol using the second aerosol-generating material. In this way, the first aerosol may be generated in a way which then allows the second aerosol, or active substance, to then be either added to, mixed with, and/or supplied alongside the first aerosol in a way which allows the user to effectively customise to what extent this first aerosol, which is delivered to the user, is supplemented with the second aerosol/active substance.

  • Publication number: 20250064116
    Abstract: A method of making a consumable (2) for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision system is disclosed. The consumable (2) comprises aerosol generating material, a support (4), and a cover (6). In the method a support (4), cover (6), and cover support (30) are provided, and the cover support (30) is positioned adjacent the support (4) between a portion of a first surface (8) of the support (4) and the cover (6) in a cover position. The cover (6) is fixed to the support (4). At least one discrete portion (12) of aerosol generating material is applied to the first surface (8) of the support (4), and the cover support (30) when located in the cover position overlies at least one discrete portion (12) of aerosol generating material.

  • Publication number: 20250049118
    Abstract: A consumable (2) for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device is disclosed. The consumable (2) comprises a support (4), aerosol generating material, a cover (12), and an absorbent or adsorbent material (10). The cover (12) and the support (4) at least partially define a passage along which one of an aerosol, atmospheric gas, or a mixture of aerosol and atmospheric gas may travel. The aerosol generating material is supported on the support (4), and the aerosol generating material is so located that vaporisation of the aerosol generating material causes the vapour to enter the passage.
