Abstract

See full text

A method of using an aerosol-generating device having a reusable heating element and a battery to provide energy for heating the heating element is provided, the method including steps of: bringing the heating element into proximity to an aerosol-forming substrate; actuating the heating element through a first thermal cycle in which a temperature of the heating element is raised to a first temperature to heat the substrate sufficiently for an aerosol to be formed; removing the heating element from proximity to the substrate; docking the device in a docking station for recharging the battery; and when the device is docked in the docking station, actuating the heating element through a second thermal cycle in which the temperature of the heating element is raised to a second temperature, higher than the first temperature. An aerosol-generating device and an aerosol-generating system are also provided.
