A component (20；30) of an electronic vapour provision device (10) with a reservoir (3) for storing source liquid, an atomiser (40) for vaporising source liquid from the reservoir and delivering vapour into an air flow path (37) through the device, and an electrical power supply (5) for providing electrical power to the atomiser comprises an absorbent element (50) to collect source liquid escaped from the reservoir and located so as to be upstream of the atomiser with respect to an air flow direction along the air flow path when the component is assembled into the electronic vapour provision device.
