a first auxiliary body removably mountable to the primary body having a first cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; and a second auxiliary body removably mountable to the primary body including a second cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; wherein the first auxiliary body and second auxiliary body are arranged to be interchangeably attached to the primary body; and wherein the first cavity has a first configuration and the second cavity has a second configuration, the first configuration being different to the second configuration such that a portion of an article receivable by the first cavity is different than the portion receivable by the second cavity. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An aerosol generating device system for generating an aerosol from aerosol-generating material comprising: a primary body; a first auxiliary body removably mountable to the primary body comprising a first cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; and a second auxiliary body removably mountable to the primary body comprising a second cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; wherein the first auxiliary body and second auxiliary body are arranged to be interchangeably attached to the primary body; and wherein the first cavity has a first configuration and the second cavity has a second configuration, the first configuration being different to the second configuration such that a portion of an article receivable by the first cavity is different than a portion of an article receivable by the second cavity. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first cavity is different to the second cavity in at least one spatial aspect. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first cavity is configured to receive a different proportion of an article containing aerosol-generating material than the second cavity. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first cavity is configured to receive a first article having a first article configuration and the second cavity is configured to receive a second article having a second, different, article configuration. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first cavity defines a first article receiving volume and the second cavity defines a second article receiving volume, the first article receiving volume having at least one dimension different from the second article receiving volume. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first auxiliary body comprises a locating protrusion protruding in the first cavity. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The aerosol generating device of claim 6, wherein the second auxiliary body is free from a locating protrusion protruding in the second cavity. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The aerosol generating device of claim 6, wherein the locating protrusion of the first auxiliary body is a first locating protrusion and the second auxiliary body comprises a second locating protrusion protruding in the second cavity. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first cavity extends to an opening in the first auxiliary body through which an article is arranged to protrude from the aerosol generating device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the first auxiliary body comprises an airpath extending from the first cavity to an opening on a peripheral face of the first auxiliary body. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The aerosol generating device of claim 10, wherein the first auxiliary body is a mouthpiece. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the airpath is a bore and wherein the diameter of the bore is less than the diameter of the first cavity. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The aerosol generating device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises a heating module, wherein the heating module is removably attached to the primary body, the primary body and the heating module being separable. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The aerosol generating device of claim 13, wherein the configuration of the first cavity differs from the configuration of the second cavity such that a portion of a heating module receivable by the first cavity is different than a portion of a heating module receivable by the second cavity. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The aerosol generating device of claim 13, wherein the heating module is configured to interchangeably extend in the first auxiliary body and the second auxiliary body. ### Claim 16 A kit for an aerosol generating device system for generating an aerosol from aerosol-generating material comprising: a first auxiliary body removably mountable to a primary body of an aerosol generating device, the first auxiliary body comprising a first cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; and a second auxiliary body removably mountable to the primary body, the second auxiliary body comprising a second cavity arranged to receive at least a portion of an article containing aerosol-generating material; wherein the first auxiliary body and second auxiliary body are arranged to be interchangeably attached to the primary body; and wherein the first cavity has a first configuration and the second cavity has a second configuration, the first configuration being different to the second configuration such that a portion of an article receivable by the first cavity is different than a portion of an article receivable by the second cavity. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) An aerosol generating system comprising the aerosol generating device system of claim 1, and an article containing aerosol generating material. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The aerosol generating device of claim 14, wherein the heating module is configured to interchangeably extend in the first auxiliary body and the second auxiliary body. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) An aerosol generating system comprising the kit for an aerosol generating device system of claim 16 and an article containing aerosol generating material.
