摘要： A device for delivering volatilized material to a user comprises a heat delivery component (11), which includes a heat sink (14) in heat transfer relationship with a heat transfer device such a s a heat pipe (36), and a volatilization component (20), which includes a source (22) of volatilizable material, such as tobacco, a flavour material or a therapeutic substance. The volatilization component (20) is detachably mounted on the heat delivery component (11) with the source of volatilizable material (22) in heat transfer communication with the heat transfer device (36) of the heat delivery component. The heat delivery component (11) may therefore be reused with a series of disposable volatilization components (20).
