Abstract: The cartridge for the aerosol-generating system includes a housing defining an air inlet and an air outlet and an airflow path defined within the housing. The cartridge includes an atomizer assembly with an aerosol-generating element that is fluid permeable, and two electrical contact portions connected to the aerosol-generating element. The aerosol-generating element has a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the first side of the aerosol-generating element is exposed to the airflow path and the second side of the aerosol-generating element is in contact with a liquid. The cartridge includes the mount that contains the atomizer assembly, where the mount covers a first portion of the first side of the aerosol-generating element to isolate the electrical contact portions from the airflow path, and covers at least a portion of the second side of the aerosol-generating element to isolate the electrical contact portions from the liquid.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating system includes a main body, a cartridge, and a connecting component. The main body includes a main body housing enclosing a power supply. The cartridge includes a cartridge housing enclosing a reservoir of liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The cartridge is releasably connectable to the main body by the connecting component. The connecting component is fixed to the main body housing and is less stiff in at least one direction than the main body housing. The connecting component that is less stiff the main body housing and the cartridge housing can act as a shock absorber when the aerosol-generating system experiences a significant impact, such as when dropped on a surface. This reduces damage to other components of the system and, in particular, may prevent leaks of liquid resulting from damage to the liquid reservoir.

Abstract: The method includes first defining a reservoir within at least one first housing, the reservoir having a first part and a second part and being configured to contain a pre-vapor formulation, second defining at least one channel that is configured to communicate the pre-vapor formulation from the first part to the second part, third defining an airflow path within the at least one first housing, and first configuring a heater that is fluid permeable to heat and at least partially vaporize the pre-vapor formulation, the heater being on an end of the second part, the heater having a first surface that faces the first part, a first portion of the first surface being in direct communication with a second portion of the airflow path.

Abstract: A cartridge assembly for an aerosol-generating system including a housing having an air outlet and an air inlet upstream of the housing air outlet; and a cartridge disposed within the housing. The cartridge includes a fluid-permeable heating element within a cartridge body; a cartridge air inlet; a cartridge air outlet; and an airflow path extending from the cartridge air inlet to the cartridge air outlet, via the fluid-permeable heating element. At least a portion of the cartridge may move between a first position, in which air from the housing air inlet is blocked from flowing to the housing air outlet, via the cartridge air inlet, the fluid-permeable heating element, and the cartridge air outlet; and a second position, in which an unrestricted airflow path exists from the housing air inlet to the housing air outlet, via the cartridge air inlet, the fluid-permeable heating element, and the cartridge air outlet.

Abstract: An aerosol-generating device includes a housing having a first end defining a mouthpiece, a second end, and a cavity defined between the first end and the second end. The device also includes a reservoir within the cavity. The reservoir is configured to store a liquid aerosol-forming substrate. The device also includes an atomizer and a valve within the mouthpiece of the housing. The valve has a first side and an second side. The second side of the valve includes a hydrophilic coating, a hydrophobic coating, or both a hydrophilic coating and a hydrophobic coating.
