Claim 10:
11. Control unit means for vapor provision means, the control unit means comprising:
inhalation sensor means;
input button means; and
control circuitry means configured to provide power for the vapor provision means to generate vapor in response to either of:
determining from signaling means received from the inhalation sensor means that a user is inhaling on the vapor provision means, and
determining from signaling means received from the input button means that the user has activated the input button means for at least a threshold amount of time; and
configuring the control circuitry to do at least one of disregard signaling received from the inhalation sensor or disable an operating aspect of the inhalation sensor when providing power for the vapor provision system to generate vapor in response to determining from signaling received from the input button that the user has activated the input button for at least the threshold amount of time, and
configuring the control circuitry in response to providing power for the vapor provision system to generate vapor in response to determining the user is inhaling on the vapor provision system to stop providing power for the vapor provision system to generate vapor in response to determining from signaling received from the inhalation sensor that the user has stopped inhaling on the vapor provision system.
