Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An article is provided for use with an apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material. The article has a carrier and smokable material arranged on the carrier. The smokable material has a first layer of smokable material and a second layer of smokable material. The first layer of smokable material is located between the carrier and the second layer of smokable material. The smokable material of the first layer of smokable material has a form or chemical composition that differs from the form or chemical composition, respectively, of the smokable material of the second layer of smokable material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cartridge for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the cartridge comprising: a housing defining a chamber, an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the article located within the chamber, the article comprising a pouch, the pouch comprising a carrier and smokable material arranged on the carrier, wherein the smokable material comprises a first layer of smokable material and a second layer of smokable material, wherein the first layer of smokable material is located between the carrier and the second layer of smokable material, and wherein the smokable material of the first layer of smokable material has a form or chemical composition that differs from a form of chemical composition, respectively, of the smokable material of the second layer of smokable material. 2. A cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier defines part of an exterior surface of the cartridge, and wherein the smokable material is located within the chamber. 3. A cartridge according to claim 1 , wherein the exterior surface of the cartridge comprises a cavity for receiving a heater for heating the smokable material, and wherein the carrier defines at least part of the cavity. 4. A cartridge according to claim 3 , wherein the cavity has a mouth and a longitudinal axis, and wherein a cross-sectional size of the cavity perpendicular to the longitudinal axis decreases with distance from the mouth over at least a majority of a length of the cavity. 5. A cartridge according to claim 3 , wherein the cavity is a wedge-shaped cavity or a dome-shaped cavity. 6. A cartridge for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the cartridge comprising: a housing defining a chamber, an article for use with apparatus for heating smokable material to volatilize at least one component of the smokable material, the article located within the chamber, the article comprising a carrier and smokable material arranged on the carrier, wherein an air gap is defined between the housing and the smokable material, wherein the smokable material comprises a first layer of smokable material and a second layer of smokable material, wherein the first layer of smokable material is located between the carrier and the second layer of smokable material, and wherein the smokable material of the first layer of smokable material has a form or chemical composition that differs from a form of chemical composition, respectively, of the smokable material of the second layer of smokable material.
