Aerosol provision system

A method of generating an aerosol in an aerosol provision device, the method comprising:

• providing a substrate comprising aerosol generating medium, the substrate including a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface;
• providing a source of energy for heating;
• providing a movement mechanism;
• rotationally moving the substrate by the movement mechanism relative to the source of energy for heating thereby presenting an individual dose of aerosol generating medium to the source of energy for heating;
• heating the dose of aerosol generating medium presented to the source of energy for heating to form an aerosol,
• wherein at least one dose of aerosol generating medium is rotated around an axis at an angle to the first surface.

An aerosol provision device configured to receive a substrate, the substrate comprising aerosol generating medium, and having a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface, the aerosol provision device comprising:

• a source of energy for heating arranged to, in use, face the second surface of the substrate, wherein the source of energy for heating is configured to heat aerosol generating medium to form an aerosol;
• and
• a movement mechanism arranged to move aerosol generating medium relative to the source of energy for heating,
• wherein aerosol generating medium is rotationally movable relative to the source of energy for heating such that portions of the aerosol generating medium are, in use, presented to the source of energy for heating, and
• wherein, in use, the aerosol generating medium is rotated around an axis at an angle to the first surface.

Aerosol provision means comprising:

• a substrate comprising aerosol generating means and having a first surface and a second surface facing the first surface;
• heating means arranged to face the second surface of the substrate, wherein the heating means is configured to heat the aerosol generating means to form an aerosol;
• and
• movement provision means arranged to move the aerosol generating means,
• wherein the aerosol generating means are rotationally movable relative to the heating means such that portions of the aerosol generating means are presented to the heating means, and
• wherein the aerosol generating means is rotated around an axis at an angle to the first surface.
