An apparatus (1) arranged to heat smokable material to volatilise at least one component of said smokable material. The apparatus (1) comprises: a housing (9); the housing having a first opening (20)at a first end (3) through which a consumable article (21) containing smokable material can be removably inserted into the apparatus; at least one heater arrangement (23) arranged within the housing (9) for heating smokable material within the consumable article (21) when in use and a hollow chamber (35) between the first opening (20) and the at least one heater (23). The hollow chamber (35) surrounds at least a portion of the consumable article (21) when the consumable article is inserted into the device and an inner wall of the chamber and the at least a portion of the consumable article define an air gap (36) there between. Hot vapours that escape the consumable article in use can condense on the inner wall of the chamber.

一种布置来加热可抽吸材料以使所述可抽吸材料的至少一种组分挥发的设备(1)。该设备包括：壳体(9)，该壳体(9)在第一端(3)具有第一开口(20，通过该第一开口含有可抽吸材料的消耗品(21)能可移除地插入设备中；至少一个加热器装置(23)，布置在壳体(9)内，用于在使用中加热消耗品(21)内的可抽吸材料；以及中空腔室(35)，在第一开口(20)与至少一个加热器(23)之间。当消耗品插入设备中时，中空腔室(35)包围消耗品(21)的至少一部分，并且腔室的内壁和消耗品的至少一部分限定在两者间的气隙(36)。在使用中从消耗品逸出的热蒸气可以冷凝在腔室的内壁上。
