Abstract (en)
An aerosol delivery apparatus (150c, 150d) configured for engagement with a base unit (120), the apparatus and base unit together forming an aerosol delivery system (110), the aerosol delivery apparatus (150c, 150d) comprising a first air passage (170a) having a first aerosol generator, and a second air passage (170b) separate from the first air passage (170a) having a second aerosol generator. The first aerosol generator comprises an air-permeable substrate (160) disposed in the first air passage (170a) and arranged to allow air being drawn through the first air passage (170a) to be drawn through the air-permeable substrate (160), the air-permeable substrate being loaded with a first source of nicotine for entrainment in heated air passing through the first air passage (170a). The second aerosol generator comprises a wick (262) arranged in the second air passage (170b), a heater (264), operable to heat the wick (262), and a liquid storage tank (252) arranged in fluid communication with the wick (262), the liquid storage tank (252) comprising a liquid (260), being a second source of nicotine. The aerosol delivery apparatus (150c) is configurable to selectively operate the first aerosol generator alone and/or the second aerosol generator alone and/or the first and second aerosol generators together.
