Abstract

The invention relates to an inhaler comprising a housing with a mouth end, at least one air inlet opening and an air channel extending into the housing between the at least one air inlet opening and the mouth end, a receiving area for a fluid reservoir, an electric energy accumulator, a supply device for generating steam and/or aerosol from a component mixture extracted from the fluid reservoir and adding the steam and/or the aerosol to an air flow flowing into the air channel, wherein the supply device comprises an evaporator which can be controlled separately and a control device for controlling the supply device. The control device is connected or can be connected a data store in which at least one set predefining the evaporating parameters can be called upon and stored therein for evaporating the component mixture in the evaporator.
