Claim:
An aerosol-releasing inhalation device, comprising: a mouthpiece comprising a substance depot; and a heating member configured to volatilise at least one substance in the substance depot to release an inhalable aerosol, the heating member comprising: a housing sleeve having at least one air inlet, and at least one hot air outlet at a mouthpiece end of the housing sleeve being separated from the at least one air inlet; a filling valve at the mouthpiece end of the housing sleeve, the filling valve being configured to fill a heating member gas storage tank with a flammable gas; a premix burner; a regulating valve configured to control release of the flammable gas from the heating member gas storage tank to the premix burner; and a mass transfer exchanger configured to heat air by heat generated from the premix burner, wherein the mouthpiece is detachably connected to the heating member for release of the inhalable aerosol, wherein control of the regulating valve is effected by suction on the mouthpiece, wherein the substance depot is configured to at least partially pass combustion gases of the flammable gas, and wherein a desired inhalation air temperature is selectable by at least a proportion of the combustion gases exiting an output of the mass transfer exchanger.
