Abstract
Provided is a flavor inhaler comprising: an atomizing unit that generates an aerosol from an aerosol source; a flavor source provided downstream from the atomizing unit; a mouthpiece section provided downstream from the flavor source; a control unit that controls the atomizing unit; an aerosol flow path leading to the mouthpiece section from the atomizing unit; and an information source for holding identification information associated with a correction value for correcting a reference aerosol amount that is the amount of aerosol generated by the atomizing unit and that is an amount designed in advance. The aerosol flow path branches between the atomizing unit and the flavor source into a first branch flow path through which the flavor source passes and a second branch flow path that differs from the first branch flow path. The correction value is a value relating to a flow rate ratio that is the flow rate in the first branch flow path relative to a predetermined flow rate when the mouthpiece section is sucked at a predetermined flow rate. The control unit controls the atomizing unit on the basis of a target aerosol amount calculated on the basis of the reference aerosol amount and the correction value.
