Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a consumable and a set of a consumable and an aerosol generating system. A typical consumable for a heat-not-burn aerosol generating system is a consumable designed to provide the experience of smoking by heating an aerosol generating material, such as tobacco material, without burning it. Such a consumable is typically in the form of a small stick or cartridge that fits into a specially designed aerosol generating device. In a heat-not-burn consumable, it may be important that the aerosol generating material is heated uniformly to ensure consistent quality and user experience. Accordingly, there is provided a consumable (70) for an aerosol generating system (1), having a generally elongate shape, comprising an internal volume and an external surface surrounding the internal volume, wherein the internal volume contains an aerosol generating material (6) arranged for generating aerosol, wherein the consumable (70) comprises a heat conducting element (100) which, on a transverse cross-section through the consumable, extends between an outer portion (108a) arranged adjacent to or forming part of the external surface of the consumable (70) and an inner portion (108b) arranged closer to the centre of the internal volume, wherein, between the outer portion (108a) and the inner portion (108b), the heat conducting element is in intimate contact with the aerosol generating material (6) over substantially the entirety of the heat conducting element's surfaces, and wherein the heat conducting element (100) is arranged to receive thermal energy at one of the outer portion (108a) and the inner portion (108b), such that the received thermal energy, on being transported via the heat conducting element (100) to the other of the outer portion (108a) and the inner portion (108b), heats the aerosol generating material (6).
