The present disclosure relates to a consumable for use in an assembly for generating an inhalable medium. It also relates to an aerosol generating assembly including a consumable, a method of generating an inhalable medium, use of a vapor and/or aerosol and a kit.

The method for manufacturing a wrapped endless rod of substantially flat continuous material comprises the steps of providing a substantially flat continuous material, treating the substantially flat continuous material with corona discharge and forming the corona treated substantially flat continuous material into an endless rod. Further steps comprise providing a wrapper, applying adhesive to the wrapper and wrapping the endless rod with the wrapper. Therein the step of applying adhesive to the wrapper comprises applying adhesive over a width of the wrapper and in a central portion of the wrapper.

The present invention relates to an aerosol-generating article used together with an aerosol-generating device including a cigarette rod having a cavity segment filled with tobacco granules; and filter rod positioned downstream of the cigarette rod, wherein the cigarette rod includes a flavoring source.

There is provided an aerosol-generating article (10; 100) comprising an aerosol-generating substrate (12) and a mouthpiece (14) secured to the aerosol-generating substrate (12). The mouthpiece (14) comprises at least one filter segment (18, 20) and a substantially transparent tubular segment (22) defining an empty cavity extending substantially longitudinally through the substantially transparent tubular segment (22), wherein aerosol passing through the empty cavity during use of the aerosol-generating article (10; 100) is visible from the exterior of the aerosol-generating article (10; 100) through the substantially transparent tubular segment (22).

The method includes forming a filter material sheet, containing the filter material sheet to form a contained filter material, the containing including, folding the filter material sheet to create a plurality of folds along a width of the filter material sheet, gathering the filter material sheet to form the contained filter material, the plurality of folds in the filter material sheet forming interstices running through a longitudinal length of the contained filter material, the interstices being configured to allow an airflow to pass through the longitudinal length of the contained filter material, and infusing the filter material sheet with at least one first consumable substance, the at least one first consumable substance being one of nicotine, at least one first flavorant, a pre-vapor formulation, a combination thereof, or a sub-combination thereof.

An aerosol-generating system for heating a liquid aerosol-forming substrate is provided, the aerosol-generating system including an aerosol-forming chamber; and leakage prevention cavity configured to prevent or reduce leakage of liquid aerosol condensate from the aerosol-generating system, the cavity being in a wall of the aerosol-forming chamber and being configured to collect liquid condensate formed from the aerosol-forming substrate, and in which the cavity is in a form of an annular groove.

An aerosol generating product includes an aerosol atomizing element and a smoke cooling element, and the smoke cooling element is located downstream of the flow direction of the smoke generated by the aerosol atomizing element. A filter element is located downstream of the flow direction of the smoke through which the smoke cooling element passes; or a hollow element located upstream of the flow direction of the smoke through which the smoke cooling element passes. The smoke cooling element is composed of particles, and the structure includes a gap for smoke of a cigarette to pass through. The gap through which cigarette smoke can pass is a three-dimensional and non-linear gap. The structure is in the form of rods. When the smoke aerosol passes through the cooling element, ensuring the smoke to pass through smoothly.
