Abstract
In order to provide an aerosol generating device which can determine, at an earlier stage, the occurrence of depletion or shortage pf the aerosol source, this aerosol generating device () includes: a storage unit (A) which stores an aerosol source or an aerosol substrate (B) which holds an aerosol source; a load () which atomizes the aerosol source by generating heat with power supplied from a power supply (); a sensor () which outputs values related with the temperature of the load (); and a control unit (). The control unit (), in response to an aerosol generation request, supplies power from the power supply () to the load () to carry out a power supply cycle, and, on the basis of an index based on the deviation of the output values of the sensor () in a single power supply cycle, determines the occurrence of depletion or shortage of the aerosol source in the storage unit (A) or the aerosol substrate (B).
