Abstract

There is provided a method for determining whether insufficient aerosol precursor is present at an aerosol-generating unit of an aerosol-generating system, the method comprising: determining that an aerosol generation session has started at a first point in time (120); generating a driving signal to cause the aerosol-generating unit to generate an aerosol from the aerosol precursor, the driving signal having a duty cycle (130); monitoring the duty cycle of the driving signal during the aerosol generation session (160); determining that the duty cycle of the driving signal has fallen below a predetermined duty cycle threshold at a second point in time (170); comparing a time period between the first point in time and the second point in time to a reference time period (180); and if the time period is less than the reference time period, determining that insufficient aerosol precursor is present at the aerosol-generating unit (190).
