An aerosol-generating device (3) comprises an axially extending heating space (21). The heating space (21) is configured to at least partially receive an aerosol-generating article (5). The aerosol-generating device (3) comprises a heat receiving surface (25) provided outside of the heating space (21). The aerosol-generating device (3) comprises a heat storage body (31) and an inner heat conduction body (33). The heat storage body (31) is provided between the heat receiving surface (25) and the heating space (21). The inner heat conduction body (33) is provided between the heat storage body (31) and the heating space (21). A material of the heat storage body (31) has a higher specific heat capacity than a material of the inner heat conduction body (33). The material of the inner heat conduction body (33) has a higher thermal conductivity than the material of the heat storage body (31).
An aerosol-generating device comprising:
A method for generating aerosol, comprising:
A method for heating an aerosol-generating substance, comprising heating an axially extending tube that circumferentially surrounds the aerosol-generating substance to achieve substantially homogeneous heating of the aerosol-generating substance, wherein a thermal resistance for heat transport through the tube along a radial direction varies along at least one of the axial direction and a circumference of the tube by at least 10 percent of a minimum value of the thermal resistance for heat transport through the tube along a radial direction.
