Claims16
An aerosol provision device having an axis and comprising:
- a power source;
- and
- an end member, at a first end, at least partially surrounded by an outer cover, the end member and the outer cover together defining an end surface of the aerosol provision device, wherein the end member defines a recess which is positioned away from the end surface in the direction of the axis and is covered by the outer cover, the recess configured to interrupt capillary flow of water.
A method for protecting electrical components and a power source of an aerosol provision device from water ingress, the method comprising:
- positioning the electrical components and the power source for protection in a portion of the device spaced apart from an end of the device;
- and
- providing an air gap between otherwise generally abutting surfaces using a recess, wherein the air gap is positioned between the end of the device and the electrical components, the air gap preventing flow of water by capillary action from the end of the device to the electrical components.
