Abstract
An aerosol delivery device is provided, and includes a control body serially engaged with a cartridge, the cartridge having an aerosol precursor source housing an aerosol precursor and defining a mouth opening configured to direct an aerosol therethrough to a user. A heater device is operably engaged with the cartridge, wherein the heater device comprises an electrically-conductive carbon element disposed adjacent to a heat-conductive substrate. The heater device is configured to receive the aerosol precursor from the aerosol precursor source onto the heat-conductive substrate, such that the aerosol precursor on the heat-conductive substrate forms the aerosol in response to heat from the electrically-conductive carbon element conducted through the heat-conductive substrate. An associated apparatus and method are also provided.
