Patent ID: 11918734

Abstract:
An electronic vapor provision system includes a control unit configured to provide power from a battery in the control unit to components of the system, and including a controller configured to control components of the system; and an aerosolizable substrate material carrying portion separably connectable to the control unit to obtain power from the battery, and including a first electrical circuit including a characteristic-carrying element; and a second electrical circuit including a vapor generating element configured to generate an inhalable vapor from an aerosolizable substrate material; 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; and the controller is configured to operate in a first mode in which a characteristic of the characteristic-carrying element is determined by providing power from the battery to the first electrical circuit, and in a second mode in which the vapor generating element is operated by providing power from the battery to the second electrical circuit.
