Cartridge with non-circular cross-section

Abstract

A cartridge for an aerosol-generating device is provided, the cartridge including: a longitudinal axis extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the cartridge; an inner airflow path extending between the proximal end and the distal end; a liquid storage portion configured to hold a liquid aerosol-forming substrate; and a trunk assembly circumscribing at least a portion of the inner airflow path and including a non-circular cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the non-circular cross-section including a direction of maximum dimension, the trunk assembly further including a susceptor element having at least one planar major surface, and the susceptor element being arranged within the inner airflow path such that the at least one planar major surface of the susceptor is aligned in parallel to a plane defined by the direction of maximum dimension and the longitudinal axis.
