Abstract
Provided herein is a susceptor for at least partially embedding within an object for use with anon-combustible aerosol provision device, the object comprising aerosol-generating material. The susceptor is shaped to provide a lower resistance to movement of the susceptor into the object in a first direction than out of the object in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
Claims24
A susceptor for at least partially embedding within an object for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the object comprising aerosol-generating material;
- wherein the susceptor is shaped to provide a lower resistance to movement of the susceptor into the object in a first direction than out of the object in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
A method of manufacturing a consumable for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the method comprising:
- providing an object and a susceptor shaped to provide a lower resistance to movement of the susceptor into the object in a first direction than out of the object in a second direction opposite to the first direction, wherein the object comprises aerosol-generating material;
- and
- moving the susceptor and the object relative to each other so that the susceptor is at least partially embedded within the object in the first direction.
A consumable for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the consumable comprising an object comprising aerosol-generating material, and a susceptor shaped to provide a lower resistance to movement of the susceptor into the object in a first direction than out of the object in a second direction opposite to the first direction at least partially embedded in the object.
A consumable for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the consumable comprising:
- aerosol-generating material, and
- a susceptor that is at least partially embedded in the aerosol-generating material so that a first portion of the aerosol-generating material is axially adjacent the susceptor;
- wherein a density of the first portion of the aerosol-generating material and/or a density of a second portion of the aerosol-generating material radially adjacent the susceptor is greater than a density of a third portion of the aerosol-generating material radially adjacent the first portion of the aerosol generating-material.
A method of manufacturing a consumable for use with a non-combustible aerosol provision device, the method comprising:
- providing an object comprising aerosol-generating material, the aerosol-generating material comprising:
- a first portion of aerosol-generating material, a second portion of aerosol-generating material and a third portion of aerosol-generating material,
- wherein a density of the first portion of the aerosol-generating material and/or a density of the second portion of the aerosol-generating material is greater than a density of the third portion of the aerosol-generating material;
- and
- embedding a susceptor at least partially in the aerosol-generating material so that the first portion of the aerosol-generating material is axially adjacent the susceptor, the second portion of the aerosol-generating material is radially adjacent the susceptor and the third portion of the aerosol-generating material is radially adjacent the first portion of the aerosol generating-material.
A consumable manufactured by:
- providing an object comprising aerosol-generating material, the aerosol-generating material comprising:
- a first portion of aerosol-generating material, a second portion of aerosol-generating material and a third portion of aerosol-generating material,
- wherein a density of the first portion of the aerosol-generating material and/or a density of the second portion of the aerosol-generating material is greater than a density of the third portion of the aerosol-generating material;
- and
- embedding a susceptor at least partially in the aerosol-generating material so that the first portion of the aerosol-generating material is axially adjacent the susceptor, the second portion of the aerosol-generating material is radially adjacent the susceptor and the third portion of the aerosol-generating material is radially adjacent the first portion of the aerosol generating-material.
A non-combustible aerosol provision system, comprising:
- a consumable comprising an object comprising aerosol-generating material, and a susceptor shaped to provide a lower resistance to movement of the susceptor into the object in a first direction than out of the object in a second direction opposite to the first direction at least partially embedded in the object;
- and
- a non-combustible aerosol provision device for causing heating of the aerosol-generating material of the consumable to volatize at least one component of the aerosol-generating material;
- wherein the device comprises a heating zone for receiving the consumable, and a magnetic field generator for generating a varying magnetic field for penetrating the susceptor when the consumable is in the heating zone, thereby to cause heating of the aerosol-generating material.
