Abstract: A device for generating an inhalable medium, the device comprising: a container retaining a first volatilizable material; a heater for volatilising the first volatilizable material held in the container; a chamber containing aerosolizable material comprising nicotine; a reservoir containing a basic solution; and an outlet; the arrangement being such that in use, the basic solution is released from the reservoir and enters the chamber containing the aerosolizable material, and the first volatilizable material is volatilized by the heater to form a vapor and/or an aerosol, which passes through the chamber containing aerosolizable material and entrains one or more constituents of the aerosolizable material, thereby forming an inhalable medium which passes through the outlet.

Abstract: Various configurations of heater components for aerosol provision devices are disclosed.
One heater component is configured to receive aerosol generating material and has a longitudinal axis. The heater component has a first length along the longitudinal axis, the aerosol generating material has a second length along the longitudinal axis, and a ratio of the first length to the second length is between about 1.03 and about 1.25.
Another heater component has a mass of between about 0.1g and about 1g. A further heater component comprises an alloy comprising at least 99 wt % Iron. A yet further heater component comprises carbon steel. A still further heater component defines a longitudinal axis and has a wall thickness, measured in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, of between about 0.025 mm and about 2 mm.
