Apparatus, System And Method For Generating An Aerosol

An apparatus for generating an aerosol and/or a vapor in an inhaler device, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of reservoirs, each of the reservoirs configured for storing a supply of a liquid;
• a heating system fluidly connected with the reservoirs and configured to heat the liquid from the reservoirs to generate the aerosol and/or the vapor therefrom;
• a pumping system comprising a plurality of pumps, each pump being associated with a respective one of the reservoirs and being configured to convey the liquid to the heating system;
• a mixing device for mixing the liquid pumped from the plurality of reservoirs, the mixing device being located between the plurality of pumps and the heating system;
• and
• control circuitry for independently controlling the plurality of pumps, the control circuitry being adapted or configured to receive control signals input by a user for independently controlling the plurality of pumps.

A method of generating an aerosol and/or a vapor in an inhaler device, the method comprising:

• providing a supply of a liquid;
• pumping the liquid from the supply to a heating system;
• actuating at least one valve of a valve arrangement connected between the liquid supply and the heating system to transmit the liquid to the heating system;
• and
• heating the liquid via the heating system to generate the aerosol and/or the vapor from the liquid.
