Both preferred embodiments allow to implement a procedure that leads to the same result of the assembly of all three elements to obtain the aerosol generating device.
  • the conically shaped heating element 300 may have a shape taken for example of the list containing a cone, a frusto-cone, a bullet, a frusto-bullet, an ogival shape, a frusto-ogival shape.
  • the conically shaped heating element 300 may be made out of ceramics.
  • a gap 410 is obtained between the convex slanted surface 310 of the conically shaped heating element 300 and the concave slanted surface 250 of the cavity of the vaporizable material capsule.
  • a mesh structure 400 is located in the gap between the convex slanted surface 310 of the conically shaped heating element and the concave slanted surface 250 of the cavity of the vaporizable material capsule. This mesh structure 400 is fixed on the concave slanted surface 250 of the cavity of the vaporizable material capsule.
  • the mesh structure 400 is designed to receive the vaporizable material from the vaporizable material capsule by capillarity and to enable the vaporizable material to evaporate by bringing it towards the conically shaped heating element 300.
  • the heat source 320 of the conically shaped heating element 300 produces heat through resistive heat dissipation of current from the current supply, by means of an electric resistance inside, and in a known fashion (the electric resistance inside the heat source, and the connections to the current supply are not represented in the Figure).
  • the design following which the electric resistance is positioned inside the conically shaped heating element 300 enables, by design, the provision of a heat gradient along the convex slanted surface, for instance hotter at the base than at the tip of the conically shaped heating element 300. This heat gradient enables to selectively evaporate distinct components of the vaporizable material when received by the mesh structure and brought towards the convex slanted surface of the conically shaped heating element.
  • the heat source of the conically shaped heating element generates an aerosol through evaporation.
  • the aerosol is generated within the mesh 400 located in the gap 410 between the convex slanted surface of the conically shaped heating element and the concave slanted surface of the cavity of the vaporizable material capsule. It ultimately leaves the aerosol generating device through the vapor conduit 220. From the mesh structure to the vapor conduit, the aerosol flow is led through at least one groove 251 located on the concave slanted surface 250 of the cavity of the vaporizable material capsule (see Figure 7 ).
  • the aerosol flow may be led through at least one groove 311 located on the convex slanted surface 310 of the conically shaped heating element 300 (see Figure 6 ) or within the gap created by the mating of the conically shaped heating element with the vaporizable material capsule, or a combination of the two.
  • Figure 6 shows schematically a radial cross section of the conically-shaped heating element 300, whereby of course the vapor conduit, as constantly disclosed in the examples herein, is part of the vaporizable material capsule (latter not represented in Figure 6).
  • Figure 7 shows schematically a radial cross-section of the vaporizable material capsule 200 mated with the heating element 300. Different embodiments in which the vapor conduit is located elsewhere may also be realized.
  • the aerosol circulates from the mesh 400 through the groves 311 and/or 251 to the vapor conduit 220 partly at least by suction pressure created by the user inhaling through the mouthpiece located at the extremity of the vaporizable material capsule (both not shown in Figures 6 and 7 ).
  • the groves 311 and/or 251 provide an advantage in that they may shorten the time required for the aerosol to circulate from the mesh where it is produced, to the vapor conduit, because when entering the groves, the aerosol encounters less resistance to its circulation than it does in the mesh. As a consequence, it is also easier for the user to inhale the aerosol from the vapor conduit when it circulates through the groves as compared to the case where the aerosol would have to circulate directly from the mesh into the vapor conduit.
