Described is an aerosol provision device for generating aerosol to be inhaled by a user from a plurality of discrete aerosol generating areas each containing an aerosol generating component, the aerosol provision device including a mouthpiece from which a user inhales generated aerosol during use; a first flow pathway arranged to pass through a first aerosol generating area and fluidly connected to the mouthpiece; and a second flow pathway arranged to pass through a second aerosol generating area and fluidly connected to the mouthpiece, wherein the first and second flow pathways are each provided with a flow restriction member configured to vary the flow of air through the respective flow pathways based on the presence of an aerosol generating component in the respective aerosol generating areas in the device and/or a parameter associated with the respective aerosol generating component in the device.
An aerosol provision device for generating aerosol to be inhaled by a user from a plurality of discrete aerosol generating areas each containing an aerosol generating component, the aerosol provision device comprising:
The aerosol provision device of claim 7, wherein the respective flow restriction members of the first flow pathway and the second flow pathway are biased to a closed position to prevent or restrict the flow of air and, in the absence of the aerosol generating component in the respective first aerosol generating area or the second aerosol generating area of the aerosol provision device, the flow restriction members are configured to be in the closed position.
The aerosol provision device of claim 10, wherein the flow restriction members in the first flow pathway and the second flow pathway are configured to be actuated between a fully open position, a closed position, or a position between the fully open position and the closed position in response to the electrical signals.
An aerosol generating component for use with an aerosol provision device, the aerosol generating component comprising:
The aerosol generating component of claim 16, wherein the engagement mechanism is a protrusion extending from a surface of the cartridge and configured to engage with the flow restriction member of the aerosol provision device.
The aerosol provision system of claim 18, wherein the cartridge includes an atomizing unit configured to atomize the aerosol precursor material within the cartridge.
An aerosol provision means for generating aerosol to be inhaled by a user from a plurality of aerosol generating components each containing an aerosol precursor material, the aerosol provision device comprising:
