Abstract

Disclosed herein are inventions for heating without combustion plant material or volatile compounds or oils in a disposable consumable such as a cartridge. The consumable upon insertion into a heating chamber or receivor is held in place and is restricted from rotation about its axis. The insertion may form indents or shaped portions of the consumable. It may have a case with a cartridge interface to receive the consumable into the heating system, a key guide, at least one heater element, an on/off switch, a battery, a temperature sensor; a controller in signal communication with the at least one heater element, battery, temperature sensor and the on/off switch.
