Apparatuses and methods for producing an inhalable medium are disclosed. An apparatus (1) comprising: a container (132, 232, 332, 432) for containing a liquid (118, 218, 318, 418); a heater (130, 230, 330, 430, 630, 730), for volatilizing, in use, a liquid contained in a container to generate a flow of at least one of a vapor and an aerosol; and a receiver (114, 214, 314, 414, 614, 714) for receiving material ( 124, 224, 324, 424, 624, 724a, 724b). The receiver is located adjacent to the heater such that, in use, material received in the receiver is heated with the heater.
