    Abstract: A replaceable module is provided for an aerosol- and flavor-generating device, including an air chamber including an air inlet for an entrance of an airflow into the air chamber, an air outlet for an exit of a first portion of the airflow out of the air chamber, the air outlet to be connected to an aerosol-generating article to direct the first portion of the airflow through the aerosol-generating article, the air chamber further including an opening arranged at a circumference of the air chamber for an exit of a second portion of the airflow radially out of the air chamber, and holder for holding a flavor-generating article between the air inlet and the opening. A heating system for an aerosol- and flavor-generating device, an aerosol- and flavor-generating device, and a method of providing an airflow through a replaceable module for an aerosol- and flavor-generating device, are also provided.
