A vaporizer pen case may include an enclosure, a battery receptacle within the enclosure, a pod receptacle within the enclosure, a charging battery within the enclosure, an electronic locking mechanism that locks the enclosure closed, a communication device within the enclosure, and a processing device within the enclosure. The processing device may be electronically coupled to the charging battery to control charging of a vaporizer pen battery inserted into the battery receptacle. The processing device may be electronically coupled to the communication device. The processing device may communicate with the mobile device via the communication device to control settings of the processing device. The processing device may communicate via the communication device with a separate processing device in the vaporizer pen to control various settings of the vaporizer pen. The processing device and/or the mobile device may control the locking mechanism.

A smoking articles storage box includes an outer container having a base portion and a lid portion; a first storage layer element, arranged within the base portion at a lower level; and at least one higher-level element removably arranged within the base portion at a higher level; wherein the first storage layer element includes a first contact edge at one side and a second contact edge at the opposite side thereof, and wherein the first and second contact edges form support elements for the at least one higher-level element within the storage box 1.

A device for inhaling of vapor that includes a water-resistant layer encasing the device to guard against humid environments and/or submersion in liquid. The invention consists of a vaping device, a sleeve fitting over the vaping device, and a cap for closing the sleeve around the vaping device to form a water-resistant layer surrounding the vaping device. The sleeve includes a small aperture through which the vapor produced through the mouthpiece of the vaping device can escape and be inhaled, allowing the vaping device to be used while equipped with the water-resistant sleeve.

A user interface, such as a visual user interface, is configured to display a static or motion image around an aerosol-generating device (10). The aerosol-generating device includes a housing having a curved outer surface surrounding a longitudinal axis and a flexible display (20) having a curved viewing surface at least partially surrounding the longitudinal axis disposed adjacent to the curved outer surface. A control circuit (54) is operatively coupled to the flexible display and includes a memory to store a motion image (30). The control circuit is configured to display the motion image on the curved viewing surface in response to activation of the aerosolizer, which may be executed according to a method, which may be stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. A remote user device may be used with the aerosol-generating device.
