US Patent 11917731 Method of making aerosol-generating system with temperature sensor

The method includes first arranging at least one first wick to transfer an aerosol-forming substrate from a first location within a reservoir to a heater, second arranging a first temperature sensor to interface with the reservoir, the first temperature sensor being configured to sense a first measured temperature of the aerosol-forming substrate at a second location within the reservoir, the first location and the second location being spaced apart to mitigate an increase in the first measured temperature during an activation of the heater, and configuring circuitry to operatively control the aerosol-generating system such that the operatively controlling includes determining depletion information for the aerosol-forming substrate in the reservoir based on the first measured temperature.
