A method and device are provided for volatilizing active and/or aroma materials for releasing an inhalable aerosol, wherein a fluid flows through a flow channel in a preferably cylindrical hollow body, wherein the fluid in the flow channel entirely or in part flows through at least one vaporizer membrane in a fluid stream, wherein the at least one vaporizer membrane has been and/or is wetted with a substance containing an active and/or aroma material to be vaporized, and wherein the fluid additionally contains thermal energy and vaporizes the substance on flowing through the vaporizer membrane and supplies the vaporized substance to the fluid stream.

The method for intermediately storing double-length substantially cylindrical semi-finished products comprises the step of providing a tipping apparatus and forming double-length substantially cylindrical semi-finished products in the tipping apparatus. The method further comprises the steps of providing a cutting device and cutting the double-length semi-finished product into single products with the cutting device and providing a packer and packing single products in the packer. The method yet further comprises the steps of transporting the double-length semi-finished products from the tipping apparatus to the cutting device and transporting the single products from the cutting device to the packer, and intermediately buffering double-length substantially cylindrical semi-finished products in a buffer arranged between the tipping apparatus and the cutting device.

A rock insert for use with smoking or vaping paraphernalia such as a smoking pipe. The rock insert includes a porous body having an interior including first and second interior regions for holding smokable or vaping material, and a closed bottom. The porous body includes a plurality of pores, or vesicles having different shapes and dimensions that are randomly formed to absorb heat generated by an external heating source. The porous body effectively absorbs heat, and gradually and evenly distributes heat in a controlled manner to the smokable or vaping material to produce a gaseous vapor for human consumption. The rock insert is compatible for use with heat sensitive concentrates that can be heated slowly without burning or combusting quickly. In one embodiment, the rock insert includes a first interior formed in one end of the porous body, and a second interior formed in another end of the porous body, opposite the one end, to provide alternative interiors for holding smokable and/or vaping materials therein.
