Abstract
An apparatus and method for delivering an aerosol-forming composition and a separate functional composition for generating a functionalized aerosol vapor which emulates the organoleptic characteristics and properties of mainstream smoke experienced by smoking traditional tobacco-based smoking articles. The apparatus can comprise a battery section comprising a first housing, a battery disposed within the first housing, and a first connector coupled to the housing, an aerosol section comprising a second housing, an aerosol forming chamber disposed within the second housing, and a pod bay, and an insert section comprising a third housing, a connector, an annular separator, and a mouth end. The battery section can be configured to couple to the aerosol section, the aerosol section can be configured to couple to the insert section, and the connector can be configured to fit within the pod bay.
