Aerosol delivery device with graded porosity from inner to outer wall surfaces
The present disclosure relates to a flavor delivery article, a mouthpiece, a cartridge, and/or an aerosol delivery device that includes such flavor delivery article. The flavor delivery article includes a hollow elongate unit formed of a substantially continuous wall extending between a first end and a second end and defining an interior storage volume, the substantially continuous wall being formed of a porous material having a graded porosity across a thickness of the substantially continuous wall. The flavor delivery article further includes a flavor liquid contained with the interior storage volume of the hollow elongate unit. The flavor delivery article may be positioned anywhere within an aerosol delivery device (or a mouthpiece or a cartridge of an aerosol delivery device) wherein the flavor liquid may pass through the substantially continuous wall to be entrained in an air stream and/or vapor stream and/or aerosol stream passing through the aerosol delivery device.
AEROSOL PROVISION SYSTEM
A mouthpiece for an aerosol provision system. The mouthpiece includes at least one aerosol outlet channel for delivering an aerosol to a user of the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece includes at least one thermal element for controlling the temperature of a portion of the mouthpiece. The portion may include an exterior surface of the mouthpiece, and the thermal element may be configured for heating and cooling the portion of the mouthpiece. In this way, the thermal element may allow for thermal feedback to be provide to the user, such as to their mouth, lips, or tongue whilst they are operating the aerosol provision system.
Gas inhalation devices and methods utilizing electrical discharge
The present disclosure relates to devices for inhaling gases, such as smoke or vapor, produced from a combustible material, as well to methods for producing these devices and methods for inhaling such gases. Devices according to the present disclosure utilize one or more electrical arcs for the combustion of the desired combustible material as opposed to prior art methods that utilize, e.g., fire. The electrical arcs produced by devices according to the present disclosure cause an electrical field to form that ionizes the gas to be inhaled by the user, and cause a larger proportion of negatively ionized particles to be ingested by the user. Methods for forming such devices, including methods for assembly that allow for access to electronic circuitry for forming the electrical arcs for, e.g., recharging purposes, are also described, as are methods for inhalation of the gas produced by the combustible material.

Aerosol-generating article and method for manufacturing such aerosol-generating article; aerosol-generating device and system
An aerosol-generating article (10) has a longitudinal extension and comprises aerosol-generating substrate (20, 21) extending along the longitudinal extension and susceptor material (30, 31) extending along the longitudinal extension. The aerosol-forming substrate (20, 21) and the susceptor material (30, 31) form an extrudate having a same cross-sectional shape along a length of the extrudate. Also disclosed is an aerosol-generating device, which comprises a device housing (70) comprising a support element (8) extending from a proximal end of the device housing (70). The support element (8) is adapted for receiving an aerosol-generating article (10, 12) comprising aerosol-forming substrate (20, 21) and susceptor material (30, 31). A mouthpiece (71) of the device comprises a cavity to accommodate the support element (8) including aerosol-generating article (10, 12) mounted on the support element (8). An inductor (703) may be inductively coupled to the susceptor material (30, 31) of the aerosol-generating article (10, 12) during use.
