A method and a system for controlling power consumption during a smoking session performed by use of an electronic smoking system. The electronic smoking system comprises an activation contact, a heating system for heating a fluid to be vaporized or for heating a tobacco plug, a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the heating system, a short range wireless communication module configured for wireless data communication with an external computer or smartphone, control circuitry in electronically communication with the activation contact and the heating system and the short range wireless communication module, and a battery for powering the heating system and the short range wireless communication module and the control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured for activating the heating system by directing battery power supply to the heating system when the activation contact is maintained in a first, active smoking position, determining the temperature of the activated heating system, and de-activating the battery power supply to the heating system when the heating system temperature reaches a predetermined maximum temperature or when the activation contact is turned from the first, active smoking position into a second, non-active position. The control circuitry may also be configured for shifting the operation mode of the short range wireless communication module. |
