Abstract (en)

Provided is an aerosol generator capable of stably supplying an appropriate amount of menthol to a user. An aerosol aspirator (1) has a storage chamber (42) for storing an aerosol source (71), a heating chamber (43) for generating an aerosol (72), and a capsule (50) having an accommodation chamber (53) for accommodating a flavor source (52). The heating chamber (43) accommodates a wick (44) that is held in the heating chamber (43) and transports the aerosol source (71) stored in the storage chamber (42) to the heating chamber (43), and a first load (45) that heats the aerosol source (71) held in the wick (44). The aerosol source (71) and the flavor source (52) both include menthol (80). The aerosol aspirator (1) is provided with an aerosol flow path (90) that connects the heating chamber (43) and the accommodation chamber (53) and transports the aerosol source (71) vaporized and/or atomized by the first load (45) in the heating chamber (43) to the accommodation chamber (53).
