1. An aerosol delivery device, comprising:
- a plurality of atomizers each configured to be in fluid communication with a respective one of a plurality of reservoirs containing an aerosol precursor composition; and
an atomizer selector configured to;
provide for selection of one or more of the atomizers to which electrical current is directed to produce a vapor therefrom; and
alter a position of the atomizers with respect to an airflow path through the aerosol delivery device.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices. The aerosol delivery devices may include multiple atomizers and an atomizer selector that provides for selection of one or more of the atomizers to which electrical current is directed. The atomizer selector may also alter a position of the atomizers relative to an airflow path through the aerosol delivery device. Another aerosol delivery device may include an atomizer and an additive selector that provides for selection of one or more additives added to vapor produced by the atomizer. Related methods are also provided.
