A particle free device for releasing a metal vapor, such as cesium or mercury, which comprises a vapor permeable particle free envelope and a metal vapor releasing substance within the envelope. This substance can be a mixture of a metal compound and reducing agent for the compound, or can be a material such as a metal oxide which releases its metal upon heating. The devices can have a resistance heating unit in thermal proximity to the metal vapor releasing substance. These devices are useful for the introduction of metal vapors into vessels such as electron tubes.
