Drop-in charging system for electric aerosol-generating devices

A charging system for an aerosol-generating device comprising:

• a body at least partially defining a receiving volume, wherein the receiving volume tapers along a longitudinal axis from an open top end portion to a bottom end portion, wherein the receiving volume is sized to receive an elongate aerosol-generating device through the open top end in a plurality of orientations, wherein the body is configured to cause the elongate aerosol-generating device to rest at a predefined tilt relative to the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a charging interface coupled to the body comprising a first biasing element and a first electrical contact, wherein the first biasing element is configured to apply a force on a second biasing element of the aerosol-generating device that causes a second electrical contact of the aerosol-generating device to electrically engage the first electrical contact when the aerosol-generating device rests on the body at the predefined tilt.
