Abstract

A vapor provision system configured to selectively generate differently-flavored vapors for inhalation by a user and to make use of this ability to provide user feedback. The system includes a first vapor precursor material having a first flavor and a second vapor precursor material having a second, different, flavor one or more vaporizers arranged to generate vapor from a selectable ratio of the first and second vapor precursor materials to provide a vapor with a selectable flavor for normal use; and control circuitry configured to determine if a user notification condition arises for the vapor provision system, such as a low battery warning, and in response to determining a user notification condition has arisen, to control the at least one vaporizer to generate a vapor using a modified ratio of the first and second vapor precursor materials to provide a vapor with a different flavor by way of an indication that a user notification condition has arisen.
