Aerosol-generating system including a cartridge containing a gel

1. An aerosol-generating system comprising:

a cartridge including,

a first chamber housing defining a first blind chamber configured to contain an aerosol-forming substrate in a form of a first gel,

a second chamber housing defining a second blind chamber configured to contain a source of a desired compound, the first chamber housing and the second chamber housing being separate or separable structures; and

a device body configured to removably connect to the cartridge or removably receive the cartridge, the device body including,

an electrical heater configured to heat the aerosol-forming substrate in situ to generate a vapor, the electrical heater being in indirect contact with the aerosol-forming substrate, and

a power supply configured to apply a voltage to the electrical heater.

2. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the first chamber housing and the second chamber housing are connected by a mechanical interlock or by a fastening element.

3. The aerosol-generating system of claim 2 , wherein the fastening element is a ring extending around and engaging a first portion of the first chamber housing and a second portion of the second chamber housing.

4. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the second blind chamber is configured to contain a second gel, the second gel including the source of the desired compound.

5. The aerosol-generating system of claim 4 , wherein

the cartridge further includes the second gel in the second chamber, and

the second gel includes a thermoreversible gel.

6. The aerosol-generating system of claim 4 , wherein

the second gel includes agar, agarose, Gellan gum, sodium alginate, or any combination thereof.

7. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the first chamber housing and the second chamber housing define a slot therebetween.

8. The aerosol-generating system of claim 7 , wherein the slot is a blind slot.

9. The aerosol-generating system of claim 7 , wherein the slot is an open-ended slot.

10. The aerosol-generating system of claim 7 , wherein the electrical heater is in the slot.

11. The aerosol-generating system of claim 7 , wherein the electrical heater includes an induction heater including,

an induction coil, and

a susceptor in the slot.

12. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the electrical heater includes a resistive heater including,

a flexible substrate, and

an electrically-resistive track on the flexible substrate.

13. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the first blind chamber and the second blind chamber contain different compositions.

14. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the cartridge further includes a frangible barrier configured to seal the first blind chamber and the second blind chamber.

15. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the cartridge further includes a removable barrier configured to seal the first blind chamber and the second blind chamber.

16. The aerosol-generating system of claim 1 , wherein the cartridge further includes,

the first gel in the first chamber, and

the source of the desired compound in the second chamber.

17. The aerosol-generating system of claim 16 , wherein the first gel includes a thermoreversible gel.

18. The aerosol-generating system of claim 16 , wherein the first gel includes agar, agarose, Gellan gum, sodium alginate, or any combination thereof.

19. The aerosol-generating system of claim 16 , wherein the source of the desired compound includes a nicotine source, a flavor source, or both the nicotine source and the flavor source.

20. The aerosol-generating system of claim 16 , wherein the first blind chamber contains a nicotine source.

21. The aerosol-generating system of claim 16 , wherein the second blind chamber contains a solid tobacco material, the solid tobacco material including the source of the desired compound.
