Abstract
An aerosol-generating device is provided, including: a housing defining a chamber configured to receive at least a portion of an aerosol-generating article; an inductor coil disposed around at least a portion of the chamber; an elongate susceptor element projecting into the chamber; and a power supply and a controller connected to the inductor coil and configured to provide an alternating electric current to the inductor coil such that the inductor coil generates an alternating magnetic field to heat the elongate susceptor element and thereby heat at least a portion of an aerosol-generating article received in the chamber, the elongate susceptor element including an elongate support body and at least one heating portion formed from a susceptor layer on an outer surface of the elongate support body, and the elongate support body being formed from a thermally insulative material and the susceptor layer including one or more susceptor materials.
