a sectional member wrapped by a paper material positioned within a heating device, the sectional member comprising a plurality of cylindrical sections and a cylindrical mouthpiece section, wherein at least one a first cylindrical section of the sectional member is a botanical section, and a second cylindrical section is an e-liquid section coupled to a first end of the first cylindrical section; the cylindrical mouthpiece section being coupled to a second end of the first cylindrical section; wherein the cylindrical sections of the sectional member are heated by a heating component of the heating device;

the e-liquid section comprises a cylindrical heated segment and two cylindrical vapor permeable liquid-flow-inhibiting thermal barriers, where the cylindrical heated segment is positioned between the two cylindrical vapor permeable liquid-flow-inhibiting thermal barriers, the heated segment comprises a cylindrical sandwich structure comprising a cylindrical porous fibrous sponge layer made from a cellulose fiber based non-woven material installed inside a cylindrical base frame aluminum foil structure,

wherein the cylindrical porous fibrous sponge layer in the heated segment is filled with an e-liquid during or after manufacture of the cylindrical porous fibrous sponge layer, an amount of e-liquid in the porous fibrous sponge layer being directly related to the porosity of the cylindrical porous fibrous sponge and calibrated to a desired heating rate and heating duration,

wherein each vapor permeable liquid-flow-inhibiting thermal barrier comprises a first layer of a hard non-porous hydrophobic non-woven fiber, and a second layer of a hydrophobic cellulose fiber on an external surface of the first layer, the second layer forming a limiting surface barrier for the first layer.
