    Abstract: A cartridge assembly (2, 200) for use in an aerosol-generating system comprises: a cartridge (4) having an upstream end and a downstream end, the cartridge (4) comprising: at least one compartment (12, 14) having an air inlet at the upstream end of the cartridge (4) and an air outlet downstream of the air inlet; a removable first seal (20) secured to the upstream end of the cartridge (4), wherein the removable first seal (20) obstructs the air inlet of the at least one compartment (12, 14) and is configured to be removed by a user prior to use of the cartridge assembly (2); and a cartridge actuation portion (18) on an inner surface of a downstream end portion of the cartridge (4). The cartridge assembly (2) also comprises: a mouthpiece comprising: a mouthpiece body portion (22) having an upstream end and a downstream end, the mouthpiece body portion (22) having an air inlet at the upstream end of the mouthpiece body portion (22) and an air outlet at the downstream end of the mouthpiece body portion (22); a second seal (26) at the upstream end of the mouthpiece body portion (22); and a mouthpiece actuation portion (28) on an outer surface of the mouthpiece body portion (22). The mouthpiece actuation portion (28) is engaged with the cartridge actuation portion (18) and the mouthpiece actuation portion (28) and the cartridge actuation portion (18) are configured so that the mouthpiece body portion (22) is moveable with respect to the cartridge (4) from a first position, in which first position the second seal (26) abuts and obstructs the air outlet of the at least one compartment (12, 14), to a second position, in which second position the second seal (26) is spaced apart from the air outlet of the at least one compartment (12, 14) and the air outlet of the at least one compartment (12, 14) is in fluid communication with the air inlet of the mouthpiece body portion (22).

    Abstract: An aerosol-generating system is provided, including an aerosol-generating device including a heater element; an aerosol-generating article including a medicament source and a volatile delivery enhancing compound source; a bimetallic strip provided in the aerosol-generating device or the aerosol-generating article, the bimetallic strip including a first end in thermal contact with the heater element and a second end in thermal contact with the volatile delivery enhancing compound source, the bimetallic strip being configured so that heating the first end of the bimetallic strip above a predetermined temperature results in displacement of the first end of the bimetallic strip away from the heater element.

    Abstract: A shisha device (100) includes a device air inlet (16); a device outlet (18); an aerosol chamber (130) and a vessel (17). The aerosol chamber has a chamber inlet (131) and a chamber outlet (18) and is configured to house a consumable comprising an aerosol-generating substrate (20). The vessel has a vessel inlet (16) and a vessel outlet (15) and defines an interior configured to contain liquid (19) when the device is in use. The device is configured such that, in use, airflow through the aerosol chamber that exits the chamber outlet exits the device outlet without flowing through the liquid stored in the vessel. Thus, water soluble constituents in the aerosol may be delivered to a user of the shisha device rather than being dissolved and trapped in the liquid in the vessel.
