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. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable, the method comprising: inserting a disposable consumable containing material into a receivor configured with a key guide; placing at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor in thermal communication with the receivor; and, a controller in signal communication with a power supply, the at least one heating element and the at least one temperature sensor is configured to initiate heating if said consumable is inserted into the receivor. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the consumable further comprises a containment end configured to contain the material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2 wherein at least the containment end is formed of at least paper and metal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3 wherein the metal is a foil. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the material is tobacco. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to communicate states of heating to the user. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the communication to the user is by way of illumination. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the communication to the user is by way of a vibration. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the controller receives temperature sensor measurements and applies heat at a selected exposure temperatures (SET) to a portion of the containment area in accordance with one of variable and fixed times. ### Claim 10 A system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable, comprising: a disposable consumable having an inhalation end and containing a material to be heated in a containment end; a receivor with a key guide configured to retain an inserted consumable; at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor in thermal communication with the receivor; a power supply; and, a controller in signal communication with the power supply, the at least one heating element and the at least one temperature sensor configured to initiate heating if said consumable is inserted into the receivor. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 10 wherein the containment end is formed of at least paper and metal. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 10 wherein the material is tobacco. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 10 wherein the controller is configured to communicate states of heating to the user. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 13 wherein the communication to the user is by way of illumination. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 13 wherein the communication to the user is by way of a vibration. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 10 wherein key guide at least one of indents, squeezes and shapes at least a portion of the consumable. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 16 wherein a volume of air is heated in the receivor between the consumable and interior wall of the receivor. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The system of heating without combusting material within a disposable consumable of claim 17 wherein at least a portion of the volume of heated air is passes through the consumable when a user inhales on the inhalation end of said consumable.
