  • Publication number: 20200352240
    Abstract: There is described an apparatus for heating aerosolizable material to volatilize at least one component of the aerosolizable material. The apparatus includes a heating chamber for containing aerosolizable material and a first heater arrangement for heating aerosolizable material contained in use within the heating chamber. The first heater arrangement is arranged to heat at least two sides of the aerosolizable material in the heating chamber. There is further provided an air flow channel outside of the heating chamber that runs alongside the first heater arrangement and is arranged such that, in use, when a user draws on a device comprising the apparatus, air flows into the apparatus and through the air flow channel so as to be preheated in the air flow channel by the first heater arrangement before flowing into the heating chamber and through the aerosolizable material.
