Abstract
The invention relates to an inhaler component for forming a vapor-air mixture and/or condensation aerosol by vaporising a liquid material and optionally condensing the vapor formed, including: a heating element for vaporising a portion of the liquid material; a wick for automatically supplying the liquid material to the heating element, wherein the wick comprises at least two end sections arranged apart from each other; a first capillary gap for automatically supplying the liquid material to the wick, wherein a first end section of the wick projects into the first capillary gap. In order that the heating element can be supplied more quickly and more reliably with the liquid material, a second capillary gap is provided, which receives therein the second end section of the wick.
Claims22
An inhaler component for the formation of at least one of a vapour-air mixture and a condensation aerosol by evaporating a liquid material, comprising:
