The present application relates to the technical field of smoking sets, and embodiments of the present application are a heating assembly and an electric heating smoking set. The heating assembly comprises: a heating tube comprising a tube body and a conductive part formed on the tube body; at least a base, the base being connected to the tube body; an insulating element provided between the base and the tube body; and a conductive element provided on the base and comprising a first part and a second part which are electrically connected to each other, wherein the first part is located between the insulating element and the tube body and makes contact with the conductive part to form electric connection, the second part deviates in the direction away from the tube body with respect to the first part, and the second part is used for being coupled with a power source.

Various embodiments of the subject technology may provide methods and apparatus for pretreating an atomizer. The methods and apparatus for pretreating the atomizer may include applying an aerosol-forming mixture to the atomizer during a first time period. The methods and apparatus for pretreating the atomizer may further include applying a terpene mixture to the atomizer during a second time period.

An aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the aerosol-generating component is formed by an additive manufacturing process from a feedstock material including the at least one active. There is also provided a process for preparing an aerosol-generating component including at least one active that is not nicotine, wherein the at least one active is included in a feedstock material that is used to form the aerosol-generating component by an additive manufacturing process. Also provided is a delivery system including an aerosol-generating component as described herein.
