1. A method of manufacturing a vapour generating product, the method comprising:
(i) positioning non-liquid vapour generating material in a space defined by one or more walls configured to prevent movement of the vapour generating material by more than 2 mm in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the vapour generating material, the one or more walls extending substantially in the axial direction of the vapour generating material;
(ii) aligning an axis of a rigid insertor with the axial direction of the vapour generating material; and
(iii) inserting the rigid insertor into the vapour generating material from a first end of the vapour generating material.
