Abstract
An aerosol provision device is provided. The device comprises a plurality of electrical components, a heating assembly comprising a heater component for heating aerosol generating material, and a battery to power the plurality of electrical components and the heating assembly. In use, the power consumption of the plurality of electrical components is less than about 0.25 W.
Claims22
An aerosol provision device comprising:
- a plurality of electrical components including a controller and a visual indicator;
- a heating assembly comprising a heater component for heating aerosol generating material of an article inserted into the aerosol provision device, the aerosol generating material being of the form of a gel or a solid;
- and
- a battery to power the plurality of electrical components and the heating assembly;
- wherein, in use, a power consumption of the heater assembly is between about 15 W and about 25 W;
- and
- wherein, in use, a power consumption of the plurality of electrical components is less than about 0.25 W such that an outer surface of the device remains below 48° C.
