An aerosol generation device comprises a chamber, a housing and a cover. The chamber is adapted to receive a consumable. The housing contains the chamber and comprises an opening through which the consumable can be removed from the chamber. The cover is configured to move between an open position where the opening of the housing is exposed and a closed position where the opening of the housing is closed. The aerosol generation device is adapted to generate an inhalable vapor from the consumable. The cover comprises one or more dislodging elements adapted to dislodge the consumable such that, when the cover moves from the closed position to the open position: an attachment is weakened between the chamber and the consumable, and the consumable is partially ejected from the chamber without becoming attached to the cover.

Provided is a fine particle generating apparatus outputting usage information, and in particular, a fine particle generating apparatus that generates fine particles through electrical heating and outputs usage information thereof to a user. Also, provided is a fine particle generating apparatus that generates fine particles by determining whether a puff has occurred according to a temperature variation amount per unit time. Also, provided is a fine particle generating apparatus or an aerosol generating apparatus capable of changing puff conditions by controlling a heater. Also, provided is a fine particle generating apparatus that generates fine particles through electrical heating.

A case for an electronic cigarette vaporiser, the case including an automatic lifting mechanism that lifts the vaporiser up a few mm from the case to enable a user to easily grasp the vaporiser and withdraw it from the case. The lifting mechanism can be spring-based. The case both re-fills the vaporiser with liquid and also re-charges a battery in the vaporiser.

An aerosol generating device according to an embodiment may include a case including an accommodation space for accommodating at least a part of an aerosol generating article; a heater that heats the aerosol generating article accommodated in the accommodation space to generate aerosol; and an air circulator that generates air flow to discharge air in the accommodation space to outside.
