In a process of testing an electronic smoking device, in particular an electronic cigarette, an electronic smoking device (2) to be tested is mounted at an inlet port (12) of a smoking apparatus (10). The smoking apparatus (10) repeatedly exerts puffs at the electronic smoking device (2), wherein each puff is defined by a puff sequence comprising an inhalation period and an exhalation period. Optical properties of aerosol (22) deriving from the electronic smoking device (2) are measured in an optical measurement device (20). The actual mass of the electronic smoking device (2) is repeatedly determined, preferably during each puff, by means of an automatic transport and weighing system (30), wherein the electronic smoking device (2) is removed from the inlet port (12) after the inhalation period of a puff has ended, is transported to a precision balance (32), is weighed by means of the precision balance (32), is transported back to the inlet port (12), and is mounted back at the inlet port (12) before the inhalation period of the next puff starts. |
