A package has a tray slidably mounted in a carton. The carton has a front access port and at least one catch. The tray has a pair of stops positioned to successively engage at least one catch in order to restrict outward movement of the tray. The tray can be positioned with the pair of stops located inwardly of, and locked in place by, at least one catch. The catch on the carton can be manipulated to clear one of the pair of stops and allow it to move outwardly past the catch.

A pack holds and re-charges an e-cigarette which has a tip connector with first and second charging contacts. The pack includes a pack battery; a body including a tube having an open first end for receiving the e-cigarette; and a connection assembly which is positioned at a second opposite end of the tube and includes a connector with a central contact and an outer contact for re-charging the e-cigarette using the pack battery. The outer contact of the connection assembly comprises a generally annular base and at least two lugs which project from the base in the direction of the first end of the tube and which define a docking station between the lugs for receiving the tip connector of the e-cigarette. The base of the outer contact is spring-mounted, such as by a spring, relative to a housing, of the connection assembly.

A multi-compartment smoking pipe is provided. The multi-compartment smoking pipe not only stores smokable substances, but further allows a user to smoke a predetermined amount of smokable substance. The pipe has multiple compartments wherein a user can smoke the smoking material in one compartment while the smoking material in the other compartments remains undisturbed. The multi-compartment smoking pipe allows for a user to select from different smokable substances.

An electronic cigarette cartridge holder utilized in combination with an electronic cigarette cartridge from an electronic cigarette to hold the electronic cigarette cartridge while in use. The electronic cigarette cartridge holder includes a housing, a plurality of protrusions, and a plurality of prongs. The protrusions deform a silicon cover disposed on a connector of the electronic cigarette cartridge to break the silicon cover and allow exterior air to enter into a cartridge body to volatilize an e-liquid and act as a fulcrum against which the cartridge body to pivot to engage the silicon cover to break.

The present invention provides an apparatus and method for speed filling of a containers, such as bat pipes, that reside in a shipping container. A filling tray includes holes that align with top open ends of the bat pipes. A frame on the filling tray aligns the top open ends of the bat pipes. Smokable plant matter is spread onto the top surface of the filling tray to introduce the smokable plant matter into the holes of the filling tray and further into the top open ends of the bat pipes. A press plate, with a matrix of corresponding pegs, is urged downwardly to compress smokable plant matter into the top open ends of each of the bat pipes. After being filling with smokable plant matter, the top open ends of the bat pies are sealed with caps.
