The invention relates to an inhaler component for forming a vapour-air mixture and/or condensation aerosol by vaporising a liquid material (13) and optionally condensing the vapour formed, comprising: a heating element (6) for vaporising a portion of the liquid material (13); a wick (7) for automatically supplying the liquid material (13) to the heating element (6), wherein the wick (7) comprises at least two end sections (7a, 7b) arranged apart from each other; a first capillary gap (11a) for automatically supplying the liquid material (13) to the wick (7), wherein a first end section (7a) of the wick (7) projects into the first capillary gap (11a). In order that the heating element (6) can be supplied more quickly and more reliably with the liquid material (13), a second capillary gap (11b) is provided, which receives therein the second end section (7b) of the wick (7).
