The present application is a national phase entry under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2018/073616, filed Sep. 3, 2018, published in English, which claims priority to European Application No. 17189677.2 filed Sep. 6, 2017, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present invention relates to an induction heating assembly for a vapour generating device. Devices which heat, rather than burn, a substance to produce a vapour for inhalation have become popular with consumers in recent years.

Such devices can use one of a number of different approaches to provide heat to the substance. One such approach is a vapour generating device which employs an inductive heating system. In such a device an induction coil (hereinafter also referred to as an inductor) is provided with the device and a susceptor is provided with the vapour generation substance. Electrical energy is provided to the inductor when a user activates the device which in turn creates an electromagnetic field. The susceptor couples with the field and generates heat which is transferred to the substance and vapour is created as the substance is heated.

Such an approach has the potential to provide better control of heating and therefore vapour generation. However, in practice such an approach can result in a relatively bulky device with a large number of components. This can make it expensive to produce and inconvenient to users who expect a simple and compact device.
