Consumable Cartridge For An Aerosol Generation Device

Abstract

A consumable cartridge for an aerosol generation device includes a threaded casing configured to engage with the aerosol generation device. The cartridge further comprises an aerosol forming material that can form an aerosol upon receiving heat, the aerosol forming material located within the threaded casing. Heat is transferred conductively through the threaded casing to the aerosol forming material.

         22 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 20 , wherein the thermally conductive material is ceramic. 
     
     
         23 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 16 , wherein the casing comprises metal. 
     
     
         24 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 16 , wherein the casing comprises an electrically resistive portion configured to be energised to generate heat. 
     
     
         25 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 16 , wherein the region for engaging with the threaded casing comprises a complementary thread. 
     
     
         26 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 16 , wherein the aerosol generation device further comprises a heater, wherein the region for engaging with the threaded casing is in thermal contact with the heater, the heater configured to heat the aerosol forming material via the threaded casing. 
     
     
         27 . The aerosol generation system of  claim 16 , wherein the aerosol generation device further comprises an electrical power source electrically connectable to the consumable cartridge, such that the consumable cartridge is configured to generate heat through resistive heating. 
     
     
         28 . A method of generating vapour comprising:
 threadably connecting a consumable cartridge to an aerosol generation device; and   applying heat through threads of the consumable cartridge to generate an aerosol from an aerosol generating material arranged in the consumable cartridge.
