Abstract
Disclosed is an aerosol-delivery component comprising a vaporiser and having an airflow path extending from at least one upstream air inlet to a downstream air outlet. The airflow path comprises a vaporiser portion extending past (e.g., through a hole in) the vaporiser. The vaporiser portion of the airflow path is at least partly defined by an air tube, e.g., a metal air tube. The air tube has an inlet in fluid communication with the at least one air inlet, and an outlet which is downstream of the vaporiser.
