Abstract
A method for controlling aerosol production in an aerosol-generating device is provided, the aerosol-generating device including an inductive heating arrangement and a power source configured to provide power to the inductive heating arrangement, the method including: controlling the power provided to the inductive heating arrangement to cause a step-wise increase of a temperature of a susceptor associated with the aerosol-generating device from a first operating temperature to a second operating temperature, the susceptor being configured to heat an aerosol-forming substrate, the power being controlled based on a measured resistance, conductance, or current associated with the susceptor, and in which the measured resistance, conductance, or current associated with the susceptor is determined based on a DC current drawn from the power source. An aerosol-generating device, and an aerosol-generating system including the aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating article, are also provided.
