  • Publication number: 20240164448
    Abstract: This flavor inhaler has a chamber that accommodates a smokable product, a heater for heating the smokable product accommodated in the chamber, and an insulation member that suppresses the dissipation of heat to the smokable product or outside the heater device. The insulation member has a first surface, a second surface on the reverse side of the first surface, and an end face that connects the first surface and the second surface and has an area smaller than that of the first surface or the second surface. The insulation member has a porous structure and at least the end face is sealed.
