Aerosol forming component

An aerosol forming component for volatilizing a liquid in an aerosol delivery device, comprising:

• a first aerosol-forming member controlled to be heated up to a first operating temperature and thereafter to a second higher operating temperature;
• and
• a second aerosol-forming member controlled separated from the first aerosol-forming member to be heated up to reach the first operating temperature substantially at the same time as the first aerosol-forming member reaches the second higher operating temperature so that liquid volatilized from the first aerosol-forming member mixes with liquid volatilized from the second aerosol-forming member, wherein the first aerosol-forming member is located upstream of the second aerosol-forming member with respect to a flow of air through the aerosol delivery device in use, wherein the first and second aerosol-forming members each comprise a heater element and a wick, and wherein the heater element and the wick of each of the first and second aerosol-forming members are arranged in a common surface;
• further comprising:
• a housing comprising an air inlet and an air outlet;
• an aerosol chamber in fluid communication with the air inlet and the air outlet;
• a power source to which the first and second aerosol forming members are electrically connected;
• and a controller for controlling activation of the first and second aerosol-forming members.
