AI Technical Summary
Existing heat-not-burn (HNB) consumables do not adequately enhance the user experience and improve the function of smoking substitute systems, as the aerosol produced may not be in a desirable state for inhalation.
An aerosol-forming article with multiple filter elements of different hardnesses is designed, where the harder filter element increases resistance to draw and enhances vapor filtering performance, while the softer element allows for greater passage of aerosol, thereby improving the inhalation experience and reducing undesirable components.
The design tailors the vapor filtering performance and resistance to draw, resulting in an enhanced user experience by improving the quality of the aerosol inhaled, reducing harmful compounds, and providing a more satisfying smoking substitute experience.
