Aerosol generating systems and cartridges for use in aerosol generating systems

Abstract

A cartridge 14 for an aerosol generating system comprises a reservoir 30 having a reservoir chamber 32 for containing a liquid aerosol generating substrate, a vaporisation region 36, a porous ceramic fluid transfer medium 34 operable to absorb liquid from the reservoir chamber 32 and transfer the absorbed liquid to the vaporisation region 36, and a seal located between the reservoir 30 and the fluid transfer medium. The seal 60, 60a, 60b has a first surface abutting the reservoir 30 and a second surface abutting the porous ceramic fluid transfer medium 34. The seal 60, 60a, 60b comprises a resilient material, and a pressure release structure 66, 66a, 66b is formed in the resilient material. An aerosol generating system including the cartridge 14 is also described.
