Abstract

A vaporizer cartridge, as a component of an inhaler, has a hollow body with a continuous flow channel and a storage tank for storing liquid. The storage tank has at least one access opening to the flow channel and a vaporizer unit arranged in the region of the access opening and extending over the entire access opening. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and a heating member. The vaporizer unit is formed to be liquid-permeable such that liquid can be conveyed at least initially in a capillary manner out of the storage tank through the vaporizer unit in the direction of the flow channel. The wick member is formed from a plurality of granular grains which form microchannels as a result of their fill and/or formation. An inhaler is also provided.
