The space between cone shaped heat collector 1124 and premix chamber 1117 is combustion zone, space between heat collector 1124 and heat resistance fiber 1123 is aerosol generation zone, the combustion zone and aerosol generation zone separated by heat collector 1124. The housing of aerosol generation consumable item 1104 designed with an air inlet path 1118, such air inlet path 1118 connects outside air and space in heat collector, such structure refers to current e-cigarette's similar structure, place an outside inlet air path 1118 in aerosol generation zone, to cool down and from aerosol, meanwhile, such aerosol generation consumable item 1104 also designed with a puff path 1125. Press push button 1116, piezoelectric or high frequency device 1111 ignite premixed gas in premix chamber 1117 generates flame, cone shaped heat collection device transfer heat to heat resistance fiber 1123, liquid in heat resistance fiber 1123 transferred to aerosol, aerosol puffed out by path 1125 and mouth piece 1127. This design has an advantage is fast heat transfer without thermal inertia, heat resistance metal foil heat collector and aerosol generation consumable item 1104 could be disposed together, no carbonyl from repeated usage of heat collector.

[0093] As shown in FIG. 21, this example provides a simplified smoking article design of heating cigarette consumable items. The housing is in rod shape, made of heat resistant resin, glass, metal, etc. It has front housing 1001 and back housing 1004, separated by partition, space inside front housing 1001 is combustion zone, combustion device placed inside, combustion device includes gas charging valve and gas flow adjust valve 1014, tank filled with propane and butane 1013, gas nozzle 1015, piezoelectric ceramic or high frequency 1011, high voltage ignition wire 1012 and push button 1016, the push button optimized designed on the front housing 1001, as nozzle connected to premix chamber 1017, premix chamber optimized with combustion stable wire, premixed gas combust in heat collector 1014, heat collector 1014 rounded by flame muffler 1006, front housing 1001 designed with support air inlet hole 20 and waste gas exhaust hole 30. Back housing 1004 is aerosol generation zone; there is no air connection between aerosol generation zone and combustion zone. Cigarette consumable item 1021 insert and locate in silicon tube 1020, filter part of cigarette consumable item 1021 outside the silicon tube, easier for puff. Inside diameter of the silicon tube optimized to easier replacing and seal. As an optimized example, inside the back housing designed with heat insulation layer, to reduce heat release.

[0094] As shown in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 the characteristic of this example is spiral air flow path design. When smoker puffs, air flows into the spiral air flow path through opening 1018, the spiral air flow path attached with heat releasing part of heat collector to heat air flows in, high temperature air flows out of the spiral air flow path 1019 and targeting cigarette consumable item 1021 to heat and generate aerosol, at the same time aerosol could be puffed out by user.

[0095] As another solution for above example, FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 provides a smoking article, which is has removable smoking mouth piece 1023, connection could be but not limited to screw thread or nested. In this figure silicon tube 1020 placed in back housing, opening of silicon tube 1020 is horn shaped, make it easier to insert cigarette consumable items 1021. By connecting mouth piece 1023, mouth piece will squeeze the opening of silicon tube 1020 to make it deformation, results in silicon tube attaching to the cigarette consumable item tightly, to form a good seal and hold, makes air could not flow around the cigarette but only through the cigarette. Remove the mouth piece, the silicon tube also released, makes it easier to replace cigarette consumable item 1021.
