Abstract
An inductively heatable susceptor for use with an inductively heated aerosol-generating device or system includes an open-porous inductively heatable ceramic material configured to hold an aerosol-forming liquid and configured to heat the aerosol-forming liquid under the influence of an alternating electromagnetic field. A cartridge for use with an aerosol-generating device includes an aerosol-forming liquid and a susceptor. An aerosol-generating device includes a susceptor.
Claims19
An aerosol-generating device comprising:
- an induction coil configured to generate an alternating electromagnetic field;
- a tank configured to hold an aerosol-forming liquid;
- a susceptor configured to be in fluid communication with the tank, the susceptor configured to hold a portion of the aerosol-forming liquid and heat the portion of the aerosol-forming liquid under influence of the alternating electromagnetic field, the susceptor including,
- an open-porous ceramic material;
- and
- a valve between the susceptor and the tank, the valve configured to permit fluid communication between the tank and the susceptor in an open position and reduce fluid communication between the tank and the susceptor in a closed position, the valve configured to be in the closed position except when the aerosol-generating device is in a desired orientation.
