Abstract

A portable handheld vaporising device (1) comprises a housing (2) within which a vaporising chamber (7) is formed, wherein a liquid in a container (11) is vaporised to form an aerosol. A heatable element (21) having a dished abutment surface (22) is located in the vaporising chamber (7), and is heated by a gas powered heater (20) located in a main chamber (8) of the housing (2). A wick (18) extending through a port (17) of the container (11) is located spaced apart from the heatable element (21) when the container (11) is in a first state illustrated in FIG. 3. The container (11) is depressable into the housing (2) into a second state for engaging the wick (18) with the abutment surface (22) of the heatable element (21) for evaporating liquid which is wicked through the wick (18) from the container (11). A draw pipe (27) terminating in a mouthpiece (29) draws an aerosol of the vapour evaporated from the liquid for inhaling thereof. Inlet ports (28) accommodate air into the vaporising chamber (7) for forming the aerosol during drawing on the draw pipe (27).
