An evaporator unit for an inhaler, in particular for an electronic cigarette product, comprises an electrically operable, in particular planar, heating body which has an inlet side and an outlet side, and a plurality of microchannels which each extend from the inlet side to the outlet side through the heating body, the heating body being designed to evaporate, by applying a heating voltage, liquid transferred through the microchannels. A porous and/or capillary wick structure is arranged on the inlet side of the heating body, which structure rests flat against and in contact with the heating body and covers all of the microchannels on the inlet side.
