    Abstract: A vapour-generating system is provided, including: a reservoir holding an aerosol-generating substrate; and a heating assembly, including a heating element, and a ceramic element including pores, one side of the ceramic element being in fluidic communication with the reservoir such that the pores receive the substrate from the reservoir by capillary action, an opposite side of the ceramic element being in thermal communication with the heating element, the heating element being encapsulated within an impermeable material so as to inhibit fluidic communication between it and the substrate, the impermeable material being in fluidic communication with the ceramic element, and the heating element being configured to heat the ceramic element having the substrate therein to generate a vapour. A method for generating a vapour is also provided.

    Abstract: An aerosol-forming cartridge includes a housing defining a cartridge body and having a housing interior, an aerosol-forming substrate reservoir fixed within the housing interior, and a revolver element rotatably fixed to the housing interior and having two or more chambers disposed about the revolver element. The aerosol-forming substrate reservoir contains a volume of aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-forming substrate is a gel. A bias element applies force to the volume of aerosol-forming substrate. The aerosol-forming substrate reservoir having an outlet aperture. The two or more chambers of the revolver are sequentially aligned with the outlet aperture as the revolver element rotates.
