Abstract
A vaporizer cartridge of an inhaler has a liquid storage tank and a hollow body with a continuous air flow channel. The storage tank has an access opening to the air flow channel. A vaporizer unit extends over the entire access opening and is arranged in the region of the access opening. The vaporizer unit has a wick member towards the storage tank and a heating member towards the air flow channel. The vaporizer unit is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed at least initially from the tank through the vaporizer unit to the channel in a capillary manner. The interior of the tank is structurally divided into fluidically coupled main and auxiliary volume. Only the auxiliary volume is in direct contact with the vaporizer unit, such that the liquid from the main volume contacts the wick member solely via the auxiliary volume. An inhaler may include the vaporizer cartridge.
