Hybrid aerosol-generating element for use in an aerosol-generating article, the hybrid aerosol-generating element comprising a liquid retention material for holding an aerosol-forming liquid and a solid aerosol-forming substrate arranged next to the liquid retention material, wherein the liquid retention material and the solid aerosol-forming substrate are arranged at least partially at a same longitudinal position of the hybrid aerosol-generating element.
Method for manufacturing hybrid aerosol-generating elements for use in an aerosol-generating article, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a continuous solid aerosol-forming substrate and a continuous liquid retention material;
- guiding the continuous liquid retention material parallel to the continuous solid aerosol-forming substrate;
- forming the continuous solid aerosol-forming substrate and the continuous liquid retention material into a continuous rod, thereby
- forming the solid continuous aerosol-forming substrate at least partially into a continuous rod;
- arranging the continuous liquid retention material around the at least partially formed continuous rod of solid aerosol-forming substrate;
- forming the continuous liquid retention material arranged around the at least partially formed continuous rod of aerosol-forming substrate into a continuous rod;
- and
- cutting the continuous rod into individual hybrid aerosol-generating elements.
