a porous monolith formed of a ceramic and comprising a first end and an opposing second end, wherein a reservoir defining a channel is arranged proximate the opposing second end and extending toward the first end and only partially through the porous monolith from an exterior surface of the second end of the porous monolith, the reservoir being configured to retain an aerosol precursor composition along the channel, and comprising a liquid transport element in contact with the channel of the reservoir along a substantial entirety thereof and being configured to transport the aerosol precursor composition through a portion of the liquid transport element; and
a vaporization element positioned relative to the porous monolith so as to be configured for vaporization of the aerosol precursor composition;
wherein at least a portion of the first end of the ceramic monolith is substantially planar, and the vaporization element is at least partially positioned on the substantially planar portion of the ceramic monolith.
