         69 . (canceled) 
     
     
         70 . A consumable according to  claim 66  and further comprising a filter for filtering unvaporised liquid out of the aerosol vapour, wherein the filter is located within the outlet. 
     
     
         71 . A consumable according to  claim 70 , wherein the outlet comprises a void. 
     
     
         72 . A consumable according to  claim 71 , wherein the void occupies at least 5% of the total length of the outlet. 
     
     
         73 . A consumable according to  claim 66 , wherein the consumable is formed by an injection moulding process. 
     
     
         74 . A consumable according to  claim 66  and further comprising a window, so that a liquid level in the tank can be visually assessed through the window. 
     
     
         75 . A consumable according to  claim 66  and further comprising a heating device for vaporising the e-liquid to form the aerosol vapour, the heating device located in a fluid path between the tank and the mouthpiece. 
     
     
         76 . A smoking substitute device comprising a consumable according to  claim 66 . 
     
     
         77 . A method of manufacturing a consumable for a smoking substitute device, the method comprising integrally forming:
 a tank for storing an e-liquid;   a mouthpiece, the mouthpiece comprising a mouthpiece aperture, wherein the mouthpiece aperture is configured to be fluidly connected to the tank; and   an outlet, the outlet providing fluid connection between the tank and the mouthpiece aperture.   
     
     
         78 . (canceled) 
     
     
         79 . A method according to  claim 77 , wherein the integrally forming is by an injection moulding process. 
     
     
         80 .
