Aerosol delivery device including a moveable cartridge and related assembly method

An aerosol delivery device operation method, comprising:

• providing an aerosol delivery device, comprising:
• a cartridge comprising an outer body with a mouthpiece, a reservoir retaining an aerosol precursor composition, and an atomizer;
• a housing;
• a controller received in the housing and including a pressure sensor;
• a coupler moveable with respect to at least a portion of the housing and the pressure sensor, the coupler being releasably engaged with the cartridge;
• and
• an actuator coupled to the coupler and configured to move the cartridge between an extended configuration in which the mouthpiece is exposed and a retracted configuration in which the mouthpiece is relatively closer to the housing than in the extended configuration, the cartridge being moveable with respect to the pressure sensor;
• allowing movement of cartridge from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration;
• detecting a draw on the cartridge through a tube in fluid communication with the coupler and the pressure sensor;
• and
• directing electrical power with the controller to the cartridge to heat the aerosol precursor composition retained in the reservoir with the atomizer to produce an aerosol when the cartridge is in the extended configuration and the pressure sensor detects a draw on the cartridge.
