Claim 0:
1. A method of making an aerosol-generating system, comprising:
first arranging at least one first wick and a heater within a reservoir, the at least one first wick being arranged to transfer an aerosol-forming substrate from the reservoir to the heater, the heater being at a first location;
second arranging a first temperature sensor to interface with the reservoir, the first temperature sensor being configured to sense a first measured temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate at a second location within the reservoir, the first location and the second location being spaced apart to mitigate an increase in the first measured temperature during an activation of the heater, and the first arranging and the second arranging arrange the heater and the first temperature sensor, respectively, such that the first location and the second location are on opposite ends of the reservoir; and
configuring circuitry to operatively control the aerosol-generating system such that the operatively controlling includes determining depletion information for the aerosol-forming substrate in the reservoir based on the first measured temperature.
