Abstract (en)
A capsule (100) has a first end (1) to engage with an electronic cigarette device and a second end (3) arranged as a mouthpiece portion (5) having a vapour outlet (6). The capsule further comprises a vaporising chamber 40 having an air inlet 46 and a vapour outlet 47, a storage reservoir (30) to store liquid to be vaporised; a heating element 41 to vaporise liquid received from the storage reservoir; a vapour flow path 75 extending between the vaporising chamber and the mouthpiece, and a vapour draining chamber 77 arranged to collect liquid condensate from the vapour flow path. Free ends (71a) of the electrical contact elements 70 for the heating element are folded flush with the surface of the base (22) of the holder 44 for the heating element to couple a seal member 80 to the holder, forming a lower housing portion (20).
