Hybrid aerosol-generating system with modular consumable

An aerosol-generating system comprising an aerosol-generating device and a consumable for the aerosol-generating device, wherein the aerosol-generating device comprises:

• a cavity for receiving the consumable,
• a first heating element arranged to at least partly heat the consumable when the consumable is received in the cavity, and
• an airflow channel, wherein the airflow channel is arranged to direct air through the device and into the cavity,
• wherein the consumable comprises:
• a tubular wall, wherein the tubular wall extends from a distal opening of the consumable to an opposite proximal opening of the consumable, wherein the tubular wall has a thickness of between 3 mm and 7 mm, wherein the consumable comprises a layer of sensorial media on one or both of the inner surface of the tubular wall and the outer surface of the tubular wall,
• wherein the consumable is arranged, when the consumable is received in the cavity, such that the air flowing into the cavity from the airflow channel flows into the distal opening of the consumable.
