An inductive heating element for an aerosol-generating system is provided, the inductive heating element including: a first susceptor, the first susceptor being a tubular susceptor defining an inner cavity configured to receive an aerosol-forming substrate; a second susceptor, the second susceptor being a tubular susceptor defining an inner cavity configured to receive aerosol-forming substrate; and a separation between the first susceptor and the second susceptor, the separation thermally insulating the first susceptor from the second susceptor. An inductive heating arrangement, an aerosol-generating device, and an aerosol-generating system are also provided.
