Abstract: A vapour generating device is provided with a vapour generating place and a cover defining a closable opening to the vapour generating place. The cover is biased toward a closed position, so that dust and particulate matter may not readily enter the vapour generating place, and openable to an open position when receiving a vapour generating rod.

Abstract: An aerosol generation device includes an indicator and a controller connectable to a battery and a heater. The heater is configurable to aerosolise a unit of aerosol generating material in an aerosolisation session and the battery is configurable to provide power to the heater for one or more aerosolisation sessions. The controller is configured to measure a charge level of the battery, determine whether the measured charge level is sufficient for only a predetermined number N of aerosolisation sessions by the heater, and to indicate, using the indicator in a first manner, when the measured charge level is sufficient for only N aerosolisation sessions by the heater.

Abstract: An aerosol generating system includes an aerosol generating device and a charging case for charging the aerosol generating device when it is received in the case. The aerosol generating device includes a device battery; a heating chamber including a lid arranged to move between an open and closed position to allow a consumable to be received in the heating chamber. The charging case includes a case battery; a receiving means for receiving the aerosol generating device in a charging position within the case. When the aerosol generating device is received in the charging position: the device battery is connectable to the case battery to charge the device battery; and the lid of the heating chamber is moveable to allow a consumable to be inserted or removed from the heating chamber by a user.
