Claim 3:
4. A method of powering a heating element for an aerosol generating device, the method comprising:
monitoring a temperature of the heating element;
initially supplying power to the heating element to raise the temperature of the heating element to a first threshold temperature;
removing power supplied to the heating element when the temperature of the heating element reaches the first threshold temperature, such that the temperature of the heating element decreases to a second threshold temperature; and
increasing the power supplied to the heating element when the temperature of the heating element reaches the second threshold temperature, such that the temperature of the heating element increases towards the first threshold temperature;
wherein
the aerosol generating device is configured in the operational configuration or in a non-operational configuration based on input from a puff detector when it is detected by the puff detector that a user is drawing on the device when initially raising the temperature of the heating element, and when the temperature monitoring means detects that the temperature of the heating element has reduced to the second threshold temperature.
