Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a system having a smoking substitute device comprising a body (209), an elongate heating element projecting from the body along a longitudinal axis and a cap (210) engageable with the body for at least partly enclosing the heating element. The cap is movable along the longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position that is further from the body than the first position. The cap is configured for engagement with an aerosol-forming article such that, when engaged, the article is moved along the longitudinal axis with the cap. A portion of the article remains in contact with the heating element when the cap is in each of the first and second positions.
