Abstract: A support for a heater component of an aerosol provision device defines an axis and is configured to engage an end of the heater component to hold the heater component substantially parallel to the axis at a predetermined distance from a coil. The support defines a channel to receive a wire of a temperature sensor, and the channel defines an opening into a space between the heater component and the coil. An aerosol provision device is also described which comprises: a heater component configured to heat aerosol generating material; a first support, wherein the first support defines an axis and is configured to engage a first end of the heater component; a second support, wherein the second support is configured to engage a second end of the heater component; and at least one coil configured to heat the heater component. The first and second supports hold the heater component substantially parallel to the axis at a predetermined distance from the at least one coil.

Abstract: An aerosol provision device includes a spring, wherein a first end of the spring is connected to the lid at a first pivot point and the first end is rotatable about the first pivot point as the lid moves between the open and closed positions. A second end of the spring is connected to the housing at a second pivot point and the second end is rotatable about the second pivot point as the lid moves between the open and closed positions. The spring is configured such that the spring biases the lid towards the open position when the lid is between the open position and the intermediate position, and the spring biases the lid towards the closed position when the lid is between the intermediate position and the closed position.
