  • Publication number: 20230413909
    Abstract: The present invention appropriately attaches a heat-insulating material to the outside of a storage section. This flavor inhaler has a storage section for storing a consumable material, a heating element for heating the consumable material, a heat-insulating member provided to the outer periphery of the storage section, and a first tape member which is stuck to the heat-insulating member. The first tape member has a first section which extends from a first end section in the circumferential direction of the heat-insulating member, and a second section which is positioned on the heat-insulating member or extends from the heat-insulating member. The first section is stuck to the second section.
