An induction heating assembly for a vapour generating device includes an induction coil and a memory storage device. The induction coil is arranged to heat, in use, a susceptor and the induction coil is also arranged to transmit and receive, in use, an electromagnetic field to transfer data to and from an external information device.

A nicotine delivery device (200) for generating a mist containing nicotine for inhalation by a user. The device comprises a mist generator device (201) and a driver device (202). The driver device (202) is configured to drive the mist generator device (201) at an optimum frequency to maximise the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator device (201).
