A non-nicotine e-vaping device may include a non-nicotine pod assembly and a device body defining a through hole configured to receive the non-nicotine pod assembly. The non-nicotine pod assembly is configured to hold a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The through hole of the device body includes at least one sidewall that is configured to deflect during an insertion of the non-nicotine pod assembly. One or more sidewalls of the through hole may include at least one protrusion configured to engage with corresponding recesses of the non-nicotine pod assembly so as to retain the non-nicotine pod assembly within the through hole of the device body.

An aerosol generation device configured to heat a consumable comprising tobacco includes: a housing; and a reel arranged to rotate on an axis of rotation within the housing so as to wind a consumable around the reel. The consumable has a winding dimension along which it is wound around the reel. The reel comprises a positioning means for positioning the consumable along the winding dimension before the consumable is wound around the reel, and the reel comprises an engagement means for engaging with the consumable when the reel rotates.

An aerosol provision system for generating aerosol from an aerosol-generating material. The system comprises an article comprising the aerosol-generating material and an aerosol provision device configured to engage with the article and to enable generation of aerosol from the aerosol-generating material. The system further includes detection circuitry for detecting when the article is engaged and/or disengaged with the aerosol provision device, and control circuitry for controlling operation of the aerosol provision device. The control circuitry is configured to switch the aerosol provision device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode when the control circuitry determines the article has been engaged with and/or disengaged with the aerosol provision device a plurality of times. By requiring both that the user must engage and/or disengage the article and the device, and that the user must do so a plurality of times, further reduces the chances of the user inadvertently switching to the second operating mode. Also disclosed is an aerosol provision device and a method for switching from the first operating mode to the second operating mode.

A system comprising an aerosol provision cartridge, a body to which the cartridge is attachable, and a tool. The cartridge comprises a refillable chamber for aerosolizable material, the chamber comprising an opening for the insertion of aerosolizable material into the chamber, wherein the cartridge further comprises a closure means for preventing access to the opening, wherein the closure means is moveable from a first position in which access to the opening is prevented, and a second position in which access to the opening is possible, wherein the cartridge is configured such that movement of the closure means between the first position and the second position requires use of the tool. At least one of the body and the cartridge may comprise a compartment for storing the tool, wherein the tool is removable from the compartment.

A vaporiser system for vaporising a composition includes a first element with at least one radiation source connected to an electrical energy source which is adapted to emit electromagnetic radiation, and a second element with at least one reservoir for holding the composition and at least one absorber. The first and the second element are reversibly and detachably connectable to each other in a non-destructive manner. A radiation conductor is arranged such that a radiation-conducting connection is formed between the radiation source and the absorber when the first element and the second element are connected to each other. The vaporiser system is adapted to vaporise the composition by the thermal energy obtained from the electromagnetic radiation by the absorber via conversion and/or by the electromagnetic radiation with increased wavelength compared to the absorbed electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by the absorber.
