Abstract
A method of monitoring an aerosol generating article is described. The article includes a capacitor. The capacitor includes an electrolyte which, when heated, generates an aerosol for inhalation by a user, a pair of electrodes, and a porous separator between the electrodes. The method includes estimating or determining the amount of electrolyte by applying to one of the pair of electrodes an alternating current AC signal.
