Aerosol delivery component

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery component (e.g., a smoking substitute component) comprising: a first aerosolisation portion (which may be a passive aerosolisation portion) configured to generate a first aerosol from a first aerosol precursor; and a second aerosolisation portion (which may be an active aerosolisation portion) configured to generate a second aerosol from a second aerosol precursor. The component further comprises a mouthpiece nozzle rotatable between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the component is configured to supply the first aerosol and the second aerosol through the mouthpiece nozzle, and in the second position the component is configured to supply only the second aerosol through the mouthpiece nozzle.

1 . A component for an aerosol delivery system comprising:
 a first aerosolisation portion configured to generate a first aerosol from a first aerosol precursor;   a second aerosolisation portion configured to generate a second aerosol from a second aerosol precursor; and   a mouthpiece nozzle rotatable between a first position and a second position,
 wherein in the first position the component is configured to supply the first aerosol and the second aerosol through the mouthpiece nozzle, and 
 in the second position the component is configured to supply only the second aerosol through the mouthpiece nozzle. 
   
     
     
         2 . A component according to  claim 1 , wherein the second aerosolisation portion is in fluid communication with the mouthpiece nozzle through a first flow path and a second flow path, wherein the first flow path further fluidically connects the first aerosolisation portion to the mouthpiece nozzle. 
     
     
         3 . A component according to  claim 2 , wherein the second flow path is selectively obstructable by rotation of the mouthpiece nozzle. 
     
     
         4 . A component according to  claim 2  comprising a component housing having a mouthpiece portion, the mouthpiece nozzle being rotatably mounted on the mouthpiece portion, wherein the mouthpiece portion comprises a first channel defining the first flow path, and at least one second channel defining the second flow path. 
     
     
         5 . A component according to  claim 4 , wherein the mouthpiece nozzle comprises a first aperture in alignment with the first channel and at least one second aperture, wherein the mouthpiece nozzle is rotatable such that the at least one second aperture is aligned with the respective at least one second channel in the second position and un-aligned in the first position. 
     
     
         6 . A component according to  claim 5 , wherein the first aperture of the mouthpiece nozzle is in fluid communication with the first channel through a first nozzle channel, and
 when the mouthpiece nozzle is in the second position, the at least one second aperture is in fluid communication with the respective at least one second channel through a respective at least one second nozzle channel.   
     
     
         7 . A component according to  claim 4 , wherein the first channel is a longitudinally-extending channel axially aligned with the axis of the component and wherein the at least one second channel is a longitudinally extending channel laterally off-set from the axis of the component. 
     
     
         8 . A component according to  claim 2 , wherein the first flow path comprises a constriction such that the transverse cross-section of the first flow path at the restricted portion is smaller than the transverse cross-section of the second flow path. 
     
     
         9 . A component according to  claim 8 , wherein the constriction comprises an aerosolisation chamber housing an aerosol-generating portion of a liquid transfer element in fluid communication with the first aerosol precursor. 
     
     
         10 . A component according to  claim 1 , wherein the first aerosolisation portion is a passive aerosolisation portion configured to generate the first aerosol without application of heat. 
     
     
         11 . A component according to  claim 1 , wherein the first aerosol precursor is a flavoured precursor, and the first aerosol is a flavoured aerosol. 
     
     
         12 . A component according to  claim 1 , wherein the second aerosolisation portion is an active aerosolisation portion comprising a heating element. 
     
     
         13 . An aerosol delivery device system comprising a component according to  claim 1  and a device comprising a power source. 
     
     
         14 . (canceled)
