A method for producing a flavor component adsorbent, said method comprising: heating a tobacco material to vaporize a flavor component from the tobacco material; passing a gas containing the flavor component through water containing an adsorbent to adsorb the flavor component on the adsorbent; and recovering the adsorbent that has adsorbed the flavor component.
A power supply for a flavor generation device. The power supply includes a first electrical terminal electrically connectable to an atomizer in an attachable/detachable manner, the atomizer including an aerosol source and an electrical load for atomizing the aerosol source; a second electrical terminal that is independent from the first electrical terminal and is configured to electrically connect to a charger; a battery; a pressure sensor; a control device configured to control power fed from the battery to the electrical load upon receipt of a signal from the pressure sensor; and a case forming an outer surface of the power supply. The pressure sensor, the battery, and the first electrical terminal are arranged in this order along a longitudinal direction of the power supply.

Temperature Measurement System for an Aerosol-Generating Device, Aerosol-Generating Device Comprising the Temperature Measurement System and Method for Measuring a Temperature in an Aerosol-Generating Device
A temperature measurement system for an aerosol-generating device includes a magnetic field source, a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material, a force sensor, configured to measure an attractive force between the magnetic field source and the ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material. The temperature measurement system further includes a memory, on which pre-recorded data is stored that associates at least one force value with a value that is indicative for the temperature of the ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material, and a control unit that is configured to determine a temperature information on the basis of a measured force value from the force sensor and the pre-recorded data. A method for measuring a temperature in an aerosol-generating device is also provided.
