    Abstract: An electrically operated aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device and a case configured to receive the aerosol-generating device. The case includes a housing having an opening and a device holder pivotally coupled to the housing and pivotable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The device holder includes an external wall and one or more internal walls arranged to releasably hold the aerosol-generating device. The device holder has a first end and a second end, opposite the first end, and the device holder is pivotally coupled to the housing at or around the first end.

    Abstract: An electrically operated aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device having a first connector part; a charging unit to receive the device and having a second connector part. The first part includes first through third electrical contacts, the third at least partially circumscribes the first. The second part includes first through third electrical contacts, the second and the third being spaced radially outwardly from the first. The first and the second parts electrically engage when the device is received by the charging unit, such that the first contact of the first and the second parts engage, the second contract of the first part engages the second or the third contact of the second part, and the third contact of the first part engages the other of the second or the third contact of the second part, regardless of angular position of the second part relative to the first.

    Abstract: A shisha device comprises (i) a vessel having an interior volume configured to contain a liquid; and (ii) a receptacle configured to receive a cartridge including an aerosol-forming substrate. The shisha device comprises a heating element configured to heat the aerosol-forming substrate when the cartridge is received in the receptacle. The shisha device has a receptacle inlet in communication with, and upstream of, the receptacle and has a receptacle outlet in communication with, and downstream of, the receptacle. The shisha device comprises a conduit in communication with the receptacle outlet and extending into the vessel via the vessel inlet. The shisha comprises an air inlet channel in communication with an ambient environment and the receptacle inlet. The air inlet channel extends along an exterior of the conduit.
