A method of controlling provision of an aerosol in an aerosol provision device, the method comprising:
- providing an air path comprising an aerosol generating region;
- providing an aerosol generating medium;
- providing a porous element downstream of the aerosol generating region;
- providing a sensor;
- determining, by the sensor, a change in a characteristic of airflow in the air path;
- subsequently determining a change in a characteristic of the porous element;
- and
- generating or not generating an aerosol in response to the determined change in the characteristic of the porous element.
