A capsule for use with an electronic smoking device includes a shell (105) having a lateral wall (101, 102) and an end wall (103), wherein the lateral wall (101, 102) and the end wall (103) defines a cavity (110) open at one end (111). A puncturable membrane (104) seals the open end (111) of the cavity (110). A liquid is contained within the cavity (110) by the shell (105) and the puncturable membrane (104), wherein a liquid transporting element (120) is arranged within the cavity (110) enclosed by the puncturable membrane (104) and immersed in the liquid.

A lid for a container is described. The lid has a basin that is designed to enhance the user's olfactory experience when drinking a beverage from the container and lid. As the user tilts the container and lid to take a drink, the beverage pours through an opening on the basin valley and flows across a sipping surface area to the user's mouth, thus allowing the beverage to aerate, evaporate, and cool. The basin is sized and dimensioned to channel and concentrate the vapor rising from the beverage towards the user's nose as the user sips the beverage. The basin and the opening are sized and dimensioned to provide a comfortable and secure feeling when drinking hot beverages. In this manner, the lid enhances the drinker's olfactory experience and provides better controllability of the flow of a hot beverage to prevent burn injuries.

A drinking cup lid, comprising: a center cover portion; a rib ring formed at the external circumferential edge of the center cover portion, the rib ring having a drinking recess, the external edge of the drinking recess being open while an insertion opening is disposed at the internal edge thereof, the bottom surface of the drinking recess being provided with a drinking opening; a vent hole formed in the center cover portion or in the rib ring; a snap ring portion formed at the external circumferential edge of the rib ring for a snap fit to the drinking cup; and a plug connected by a flexible strip in a hanging way to the external circumferential edge of the snap ring portion, the plug having a plug portion, a hand-held portion and an insert portion. Before use, the insert portion of the plug is fitted first into the insertion opening. Thereafter, the plug portion is fitted to the drinking opening. In this way, the laborious plug-and-pull problem of the conventional splash proof plug is resolved. As a result, the splash proof plug according to the invention can achieve an effort-saving plug-and-pull effect.
