Abstract (en)
A smoking substitute device is described. The smoking substitute device includes an elongate porous wick for conveying liquid aerosol forming substrate to a heating zone from a liquid supply location. Also included is a store for containing the liquid aerosol forming substrate for supply to the wick at the liquid supply location of the wick. The wick includes a pair of spaced electrical connection regions. The heating zone being located electrically between the pair of electrical connection regions. The wick is configured to have a lower liquid flow rate along the wick at at least one barrier region of the wick and a higher liquid flow rate of the liquid aerosol forming substrate along the wick outside the at least one barrier region. The at least one barrier region is located to promote maintenance of the liquid aerosol forming substrate in the heating zone and to inhibit flow of liquid aerosol forming substrate towards at least one of the electrical connection regions.
