Abstract
There is provided an aerosol provision system comprising a power source; an aerosol generating component; and, control circuitry, wherein the control circuitry is arranged to control the power source and the aerosol generating component to provide a selection between at least: a predetermined aerosolization profile; and a variable aerosolization period, to be applied to aerosol generating material.
Claims13
An aerosol provision system comprising:
- a power source;
- an aerosol generating component;
- and
- control circuitry,
- wherein the control circuitry is arranged to control the power source and the aerosol generating component to provide a selection between at least:
- a predetermined aerosolization profile, wherein the predetermined aerosolization profile comprises a plurality of aerosolisation phases and a plurality of non-aerosolisation phases;
- and
- a variable aerosolization period, wherein the variable aerosolisation period is a period of continuous aerosolisation, wherein the continuous period is variable in length,
- to be applied to aerosol generating material;
- wherein the control circuitry comprises an activatable element for controlling the power source and aerosol generating component, and
- wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine a state of the activatable element and based on the state of the activatable element, determine whether to select the predetermined aerosolisation profile or the variable aerosolisation period for the aerosol generating material.

A method of producing an aerosol from an aerosol provision system, the method comprising:
- providing a power source;
- providing an aerosol generating component;
- and,
- providing control circuitry, the control circuitry arranged to control the power source and the aerosol generating component,
- providing a selection between at least:
- a predetermined aerosolization profile, wherein the predetermined aerosolization profile comprises a plurality of aerosolisation phases and a plurality of non-aerosolisation phases;
- and
- a variable aerosolization period, wherein the variable aerosolisation period is a period of continuous aerosolisation, wherein the continuous period is variable in length,
- to be applied to aerosol generating material, and
- applying the selected one of the predetermined aerosolization profile and the variable aerosolization period to aerosol generating material;
- wherein the control circuitry comprises an activatable element for controlling the power source and aerosol generating component, and
- wherein the control circuitry is configured to determine a state of the activatable element and based on the state of the activatable element, determine whether to select the predetermined aerosolisation profile or the variable aerosolisation period for the aerosol generating material.
