Claim 14:
15. An aerosolizable substrate material carrying portion for an electronic vapor provision system, separably connectable to a control unit to obtain power from a battery within the control unit, and comprising:
a first electrical circuit including a characteristic-carrying element;
a second electrical circuit including a vapor generating element configured to generate an inhalable vapor from an aerosolizable substrate material when provided with power from the battery, wherein the second electrical circuit can be selectively provided with power from the battery when power is supplied to the aerosolizable substrate material carrying portion for the purposes of operating in a first mode in which a characteristic of the characteristic-carrying element is determined when power is provided from the battery to the first electrical circuit, and for the purpose of operating in a second mode in which the vapor generating element is operated when power is provided from the battery to the second electrical circuit;
a switching arrangement operable by the controller to selectively provide power from the battery to the second electrical circuit; and
two electrical connection terminals for connection with the control unit, the two electrical connection terminals comprising a first electrical connection terminal for providing power to the first electrical circuit and the second electrical circuit, and an electrical earth connection for the first electrical circuit and the second electrical circuit, and the switching arrangement is configured to switch between connecting the first electrical circuit with the first electrical connection terminal and connecting the second electrical circuit with the first electrical connection terminal.
