Abstract
An inhalation system for generating a vapour for inhalation by a user includes an inhalation device including a controller and a vapour generating article including a vapour generating material and a heating element. The vapour generating article has first and second regions. The second region contains one or more of a higher density of the vapour generating material than the first region, vapour generating material with a higher moisture content than the first region, or vapour generating material with a higher aerosol-former content than the first region, and the heating element is arranged to generate more heat in the second region than in the first region.
Claims12
An inhalation system for generating a vapour for inhalation by a user, the inhalation system comprising:
- an inhalation device including a controller;
- and
- a vapour generating article comprising a vapour generating material and a heating element, the heating element comprising an inductively heatable susceptor;
- wherein the vapour generating article has first and second regions, the second region contains one or more of a higher density of the vapour generating material than the first region, vapour generating material with a higher moisture content than the first region, or vapour generating material with a higher aerosol-former content than the first region, and the heating element is arranged to generate more heat in the second region than in the first region, and
- wherein the inductively heatable susceptor comprises a first type of susceptor element in the first region and a second type of susceptor element in the second region, and the first type of susceptor element is arranged to be broken to thereby break its electrical path before the second type of susceptor element when the first and second types of susceptor element are exposed, in use, to the same electromagnetic field.
A vapour generating article comprising a vapour generating material and a heating element, the heating element comprising an inductively heatable susceptor, wherein the vapour generating article has first and second regions, the second region contains one or more of a higher density of the vapour generating material than the first region, vapour generating material with a higher moisture content than the first region, or vapour generating material with a higher aerosol- former content than the first region, and the heating element is arranged to generate more heat in the second region than in the first region when the vapour generating article is positioned in an inhalation device, and
- wherein the inductively heatable susceptor comprises a first type of susceptor element in the first region and a second type of susceptor element in the second region, and the first type of susceptor element is arranged to be broken to thereby break its electrical path before the second type of susceptor element when the first and second types of susceptor element are exposed, in use, to the same electromagnetic field.
