An aerosol generation system comprises a consumable (100) comprising a vaporizable material, a heating device comprising a heating receptacle (200) for receiving, in use, the consumable and comprising a heating element (204). At least one intermediate element (500) is positioned between the consumable and the heating element for absorbing vaporizable material and for acting as a heatshield between the heating and the consumable.

A cartridge (10, 72) for a vapour generating device (100) comprises an inductively heatable susceptor (54) and a porous liquid transfer element (56) configured to convey vapour generating liquid to the inductively heatable susceptor (54). The porous liquid transfer element (56) has a longitudinal axis (57) and includes a recess (60) accommodating at least part of the inductively heatable susceptor (54). The recess (60) includes a support surface (80) which is inclined relative to the longitudinal axis (57) to support at least part of the inductively heatable susceptor (54).

An aerosolization module for an aerosol generating device includes a reservoir configured to contain a vaporizable material, a heater including a wick which is configured to imbibe liquid by capillarity, and a liquid path for providing liquid from the reservoir to the heater that includes at least one liquid channel that fluidically connects the reservoir to the wick, the liquid channel including a porous pad in contact with the wick. The porous pad improves the reliability in the supply of vaporizable material to the heater.

A vaporizer includes: a liquid storage tank for storing liquid; a mounting base including a leaked liquid buffer structure having a capillary force; and a vaporization core including a porous substrate and a heating element, the porous substrate being in fluid communication with the liquid storage tank and absorbing liquid from the liquid storage tank through a capillary force, the heating element heating and vaporizing the liquid of the porous substrate. The vaporization core is located between the liquid storage tank and the leaked liquid buffer structure. The leaked liquid buffer structure abuts the porous substrate and receives the liquid overflowed from the porous substrate.

The invention relates to an evaporator unit for an inhaler, in particular an electronic cigarette product, comprising an electrically operable heating body, in particular a flat heating body, which has an inlet side and an outlet side, and a plurality of microchannels, each of which extends from the inlet side to the outlet side through the heating body. The heating body is designed to evaporate liquid being transferred through the microchannels by applying a heating voltage. A porous and/or capillary wick structure is arranged on the inlet side of the heating body, said wick structure being fluidically connected or connectable to a liquid store. The wick structure has a shaft which extends through a passage opening of the support, and a collar, which is arranged between the support and the heating body, wherein the diameter of the collar is greater than the diameter of the passage opening of the support.
