Abstract
A consumable for an aerosol provision system comprising at least one substrate material in proximity to at least one drying agent. The drying agent preferably includes a sorbent, e.g., a desiccant, a wicking material or a mixture thereof. Also provided is a pod for an aerosol provision system where the pod contains the consumable and the consumable is configured to receive an aerosol, and use of a drying agent to increase consistency or yield of volatile compound delivery from a substrate material in an aerosol provision system.
Claims20
A consumable for an aerosol provision system comprising at least one substrate material comprising nicotine in proximity to at least one drying agent, wherein the at least one drying agent is a wicking material, wherein the at least one drying agent removes liquid from the immediate environment and retains it, and where the at least one drying agent is positioned to draw moisture or liquid away from the at least one substrate material to reduce an amount of deposited aerosol on the at least one substrate material.
An aerosol provision system or part thereof comprising a consumable, wherein the consumable comprises at least one substrate material comprising nicotine in proximity to at least one drying agent, wherein the at least one drying agent is a wicking material, wherein the at least one drying agent removes liquid from the immediate environment and retains it, and wherein the at least one drying agent is positioned to draw moisture or liquid away from the at least one substrate material to reduce an amount of deposited aerosol on the at least one substrate material.
A method of operating an aerosol provision system configured to improve consistency or yield of volatile compound delivery from a substrate material, the method comprising:
- generating an aerosol from at least one aerosol precursor material;
- and
- passing the aerosol through a consumable containing at least one substrate material comprising nicotine in proximity to at least one drying agent, wherein the at least one drying agent is a wicking material,
- wherein at least one of:
- the at least one drying agent and the substrate material are independent of one another and in the form of a mixture;
- the substrate material and the at least one drying agent are contained in the same particulate form;
- the at least one drying agent is arranged to at least partially surround the substrate material;
- or
- the substrate material is arranged to at least partially surround the at least one drying agent;
- and
- wherein the at least one drying agent removes liquid from the immediate environment and retains it, and wherein the at least one drying agent is positioned to draw moisture or liquid away from the substrate material to reduce an amount of deposited aerosol on the substrate material.
