Abstract

A consumable part for use in an aerosol provision system. The consumable part includes a first reservoir for containing aerosolizable material, and a second reservoir for containing flavoring material. The consumable part also includes an aerosolizable material transport element for receiving the aerosolizable material from the first reservoir. The aerosolizable material transport element at least partly separates the first reservoir from the second reservoir, and the aerosolizable material transport element is configured to deliver vaporized aerosolizable material into the second reservoir.

         11 . The consumable part according to  claim 7 , wherein the second access port is single-use. 
     
     
         12 . The consumable part according to  claim 1 , wherein the consumable part comprises a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first reservoir is located closer to the first end than the second end, and wherein the second reservoir is located closer to the second end than the first end. 
     
     
         13 . The consumable part according to  claim 12 , wherein the consumable part comprises a first access port for allowing access to the first reservoir, wherein the first access port is located at the first end. 
     
     
         14 . The consumable part according to  claim 12 , wherein the consumable part comprises a second access port for allowing access to the second reservoir, wherein the second access port is located at the second end. 
     
     
         15 . The consumable part according to  claim 1 , wherein the aerosolizable material transport element comprises a mesh. 
     
     
         16 . The consumable part according to  claim 1 , wherein the aerosolizable material transport element comprises a cotton or fibrous wick. 
     
     
         17 . The consumable part according to  claim 1 , wherein the first reservoir and the second reservoir are located within a housing of the consumable part 
     
     
         18 . The consumable part according to  claim 1 , wherein the aerosolizable material transport element is molded as part of the housing. 
     
     
         19 . The consumable part according to  claim 17 , wherein the housing is made of paper or cardboard.
