The method involves partially or completely mixing combustion gases of a combustible gas e.g. propane or butane gas, with ambient air. The combustible gas is burned with excess air. The combustion gases are guided through a active and/or aromatic ingredients depot in a mouthpiece. A target temperature is selected by the proportion of the combustion gases and by the ratio of the mixture of the combustion gases with the ambient air. An independent claim is also included for a device for performing an active and/or aromatic ingredients volatilization method, comprising a mouthpiece. EP1972215A1
