Smoking substitute system

Abstract

A consumable for a smoking substitute device contains a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, wherein a solid additive is located within the tank of the consumable. The solid additive 750 is used to add materials to the liquid aerosol-forming substrate.

1 . A consumable for a smoking substitute device which contains a liquid aerosol-forming substrate, wherein the liquid aerosol-forming substrate comprises a solid additive, characterised in that the solid additive is provided in the form of one or more bodies that are sized to prevent the solid additive blocking the flow of liquid through the consumable. 
     
     
         2 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise a width, a length and a height which are each greater than 2 mm. 
     
     
         3 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise a width, a length and a height which are each greater than 5 mm. 
     
     
         4 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise at least one dimension greater than 5 mm. 
     
     
         5 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise a length in the range 5 to 40 mm. 
     
     
         6 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise a width in a range of 2 to 25 mm. 
     
     
         7 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the one or more bodies comprise a height and/or a wall thickness in a range of 0.5 to 5 mm. 
     
     
         8 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the solid additive comprises one or more bodies and said bodies comprise one or more shapes chosen from: elongate; spheroidal; ellipsoidal; spherical; planar; irregular, pellet; spaghetti; cuboid; and pyramidal. 
     
     
         9 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 8  wherein the solid additive comprises one or more bodies in the form of elongate and/or planar bodies. 
     
     
         10 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the solid additive comprises one or more bodies comprising one or more cavities through which the liquid aerosol-forming substrate may flow. 
     
     
         11 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise at least one ribbed surface. 
     
     
         12 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the solid additive adds one or more components chosen from a flavourant, a flavour enhancer, nicotine, a catalyst, additional chemicals, and/or means to remove chemicals to the liquid aerosol-forming liquid. 
     
     
         13 . A consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the one or more bodies comprise tobacco and/or extracts of tobacco. 
     
     
         14 . A solid additive for a consumable as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         15 . Use of a solid additive for a consumable as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the additive is placed in a tank of a consumable, said tank being used to retain liquid aerosol-forming substrate.
