A power supply unit for an aerosol generation device includes a notification unit and a controller. The controller is configured to execute flavor information acquisition processing of acquiring information on whether an aerosol source and a flavor source contain menthol respectively. The controller is configured execute the flavor information acquisition processing when at least one of a change from a state in which a first load is not connected to a first connector to a state in which the first load is connected to the first connector and a change from a state in which the second load is not capable of heating the flavor source to a state in which the second load is capable of heating the flavor source is detected.

A power supply unit includes a controller. The controller is configured to determine whether an aerosol source and an flavor source contain menthol, a mode of discharging to a first heater in a first state in which it is determined that only the flavor source contains menthol is different from a mode of discharging to the first heater in a second state in which it is determined that both the aerosol source and the flavor source contain menthol and a mode of discharging to the first heater in a third state in which it is determined that only the aerosol source contains menthol, and/or a mode of discharging to a second heater in the first state is different from a mode of discharging to the second heater in the second state and a mode of discharging to the second heater in the third state.

The description pertains to a portable vaporizer comprising a body having a base portion in slidable engagement with a cover portion. The body has a plurality of cradles included therein configured for receiving cartridges of consumables. The cover is movable between an open position wherein the plurality of cradles are accessible, and a closed position wherein the plurality of cradles are contained between the base and the cover. The body is further configured to house a battery, to power a heating element used to heat the consumables. A mouthpiece defining an opening through which a user would inhale vaporized consumables is in communication with the plurality of cradles.

An aerosol generation device includes: accommodation that accommodates a flavor source capable of adding a flavor to the aerosol source vaporized and/or atomized by heating the aerosol source with a first heater; a sensor configured to output a value related to a temperature of the flavor source, the accommodation, or a second heater; a power supply that is electrically connected to the first heater and the second heater; and a controller configured to control discharging from the power supply to the first heater and discharging from the power supply to the second heater based on an output of the sensor. The controller controls discharging to the second heater so as to cause the temperature to converge to a first target temperature, and then controls discharging to the second heater so as to cause the temperature to converge to a temperature lower than the first target temperature.
