Abstract: A consumable for a smoking substitute device, the consumable comprising: a tank for storing an e-liquid; an outlet, wherein the outlet is configured to provide fluid communication between the tank and a mouthpiece aperture, so that the mouthpiece aperture receives an aerosol vapour formed from the e-liquid in use, wherein the outlet is integrally formed with the tank; and a support for maintaining a position of the outlet relative to the tank.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a smoking substitute device, in particular to a heat not burn smoking substitute device. The smoking substitute device comprises a body having a cavity and for receiving of an aerosol-generating consumable, a closure moveable between a first position in which it covers the cavity and a second position in which the cavity is substantially uncovered, and a handle for moving the closure between the first and the second position.

Abstract: Disclosed is a smoking substitute component comprising a housing having a base portion, a mouthpiece portion, one or more walls extending longitudinally from the base portion to the mouthpiece portion, and an air inlet formed in a wall of the housing and spaced longitudinally from the base portion. The component further comprises an air outlet formed in the mouthpiece portion and an airflow path extending from the air inlet to the air outlet. The airflow path comprises a first portion downstream of the air inlet and extending longitudinally towards the base portion of the housing, and a transversely extending second portion that is downstream of the first portion. The component further comprises a vaporizer comprising a wick and a heating element for heating the wick, the wick extending across the first portion of the airflow path.

Abstract: Aerosol delivery component with a tank, and a wall separating the tank from a vaporizer, with a vent channel extending through the wall from a first opening at the chamber to a second opening at the tank and positioned such that any leakage of liquid through the channel is discharged on the vaporizer, or wherein the first opening has a greater cross-sectional area than the second opening.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an aerosol-delivery component, comprising: a vaporizer disposed in a vaporizing chamber; and an electrical contact for electrically connecting the vaporizer to a power supply, the contact extending through a base member of the component and into the vaporizing chamber. The component further comprises a sealing element configured to seal between the electrical contact and the base member.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a smoking substitute device. The smoking substitute device comprises: an elongate main body, the main body having a body length in a longitudinal dimension that is greater than a body width in a transverse dimension. The main body includes a curved portion having a curved longitudinal axis along the longitudinal dimension. The curved longitudinal axis is fixed.

Abstract: An aerosol delivery device comprises: a storage for storing aerosol precursor liquid, the storage comprising an air bleed channel for permitting air to enter the storage as the storage empties of aerosol precursor in use; and a liquid transfer element for transferring aerosol precursor liquid from the storage to an aerosol generator, wherein the air bleed channel and the liquid transfer element are configured such that aerosol precursor liquid from the liquid transfer element forms an obstruction in the air bleed channel in use to reduce flow through the air bleed channel, the aerosol delivery device further configured such that the obstruction is removed to open the air bleed channel in response to a user drawing on the aerosol delivery device.
