Abstract: An aerosol provision device is described. A housing delimits a first opening at a first end of the housing through which to receive aerosol generating material and delimits a second opening at a second end of the housing. At least one heater is arranged within the housing and configured to heat the aerosol generating material received within the housing thereby to generate an aerosol. A hollow member is arranged within the housing and extends at least partially between the second and first openings. The hollow member has an end that faces the second opening and is configured to encourage the formation of liquid droplets.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device is described. One such device includes a heater assembly arranged to receive aerosol generating material. The heater assembly has a susceptor which is heatable by penetration with a varying magnetic field. A fluidly sealed enclosure extends around at least part of the heater assembly defining a fluidly sealed cavity between the enclosure and the susceptor. An inductor coil extends around the enclosure. The inductor coil generates the varying magnetic field.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device, for generating aerosol from aerosol generating material can include one or more aerosol generators arranged to cause aerosol to be generated from the aerosol generating material and a controller for controlling the one or more aerosol generators. The controller may be operable in a first mode of operation to set a first heating profile for the aerosol generators such that during a session of use the average operating temperature of the aerosol generators is T1. The controller may also be operable in a second mode of operation to set a second different heating profile for the aerosol generators such that during a session of use the average operating temperature of the aerosol generators is also T1.
