Vapor provision apparatus and systems

Vapor provision means comprising:

• reservoir housing means defining reservoir means for a liquid;
• liquid transport means for transporting the liquid from the reservoir means to vaporizer means for vaporization;
• and
• channel means for the liquid transport means, wherein the channel means has sidewall means at least partly defined by a section of the reservoir housing means;
• wherein the liquid transport means comprises a first portion arranged to deliver the liquid to the vaporizer means and a second portion extending along the channel means, wherein the channel means has a cross-section that corresponds with a cross-section of the second portion of the liquid transport means, and wherein the section of the reservoir housing means that defines the sidewall means of the channel means has one or more opening means to provide fluid communication between the liquid transport means in the channel means and the liquid in the reservoir means.

A method of forming vapor provision apparatus comprising:

• providing a reservoir housing defining a reservoir for a liquid;
• providing a liquid transport element for transporting the liquid from the reservoir to a vaporizer for vaporization;
• providing a channel for the liquid transport element, wherein the channel has a sidewall at least partly defined by a section of the reservoir housing;
• and
• arranging a first portion of the liquid transport element to deliver the liquid to the vaporizer and a second portion of the liquid transport element to extend along the channel, wherein the channel has a cross-section that corresponds with a cross-section of the second portion of the liquid transport element, and wherein the section of the reservoir housing that defines the sidewall of the channel has one or more openings to provide fluid communication between the liquid transport element in the channel and the liquid in the reservoir.
