Abstract
The aerosol-generating device includes a reservoir configured to hold an aerosol-forming substrate, an aerosol generator configured to receive the aerosol-forming substrate from the reservoir, a wick configured to transfer the aerosol-forming substrate from the reservoir to the aerosol generator, a tilt sensor configured to sense an angle of orientation value of the reservoir, and electric circuitry including at least one processor configured to determine a depletion value of the aerosol-forming substrate in the reservoir based on the angle of orientation value, while the aerosol generator is in operational use.
