An e-liquid cartridge designed to provide e-liquid for an electronic cigarette vaporizer system, the cartridge including a chip that stores and outputs (i) a unique identity for the cartridge and/or (ii) data defining the e-liquid stored in the cartridge, and the cartridge being adapted to be inserted into or form an integral part of the electronic vaporizer system. The data stored and output by the chip defines one or more of: flavor, nicotine strength, manufacturing batch number, date of manufacture, date of filling, tax data, quantity of e-liquid stored in the cartridge.

The present invention relates to a container operative with a dispenser comprising a dispense conduit, the container comprising: a storage cavity for storing contents dispensed to the container from the dispenser; and an interface formation configured to receive the dispense conduit of the dispenser to open a conduit between the storage cavity and a reservoir of the dispenser to permit transfer of reservoir contents from the reservoir of the dispenser to the storage cavity; and wherein the interface formation comprises a rupturable, self-sealing membrane.

An electronic cigarette vaporizer includes a heating element and a microcontroller; the microcontroller monitors or measures external or ambient temperature and uses that as a control input. The control input automatically controls the power delivered to the heating element to ensure that the heating element operates at its optimal temperature. Where ambient temperatures are monitored or measured as very cold, then the power to the heating element is automatically increased to compensate.

At least one of making an ink replenishing operation easy and making it possible to select one out of a plurality of types of ink replenishment containers in order to perform ink replenishment is achieved. An ink replenishment assist apparatus includes a plug detachably mounted to the ink inlet of an ink tank and a conduit. The conduit has a first opening open to the inside of the ink tank in an in-use state of the ink replenishment assist apparatus, a second opening positioned on an opposite side to the first opening, and open to the outside of the ink tank, and a channel that brings the first opening and the second opening into communication with each other.

A cartridge includes a cartridge housing, an atomizing head, and a sealing member. A liquid storage cavity for storing e-liquid is formed inside the cartridge housing. The atomizing head is located at one end of the cartridge housing, and the sealing member is located at the other end of the cartridge housing opposite to the atomizing head. The atomizing head is in communication with the liquid storage cavity and the outside. When a liquid injection needle is used to inject liquid into the cartridge, the liquid injection needle pierces the sealing member and extends into the cartridge housing to inject e-liquid into the liquid storage cavity. The air in the liquid storage cavity is discharged out through the end of the cartridge housing with the atomizing head. After the liquid injection needle is pulled out, the sealing member will form a self-sealing at the pierced position.

A fluid transfer connector or adapter for coupling a container or pharmacy bottle for facilitating the transfer of fluid or medicine from the bottle to a syringe, or from the syringe to the bottle. Optionally, an additional connector can be provided for coupling the fluid transfer connector to the syringe.

The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and methods for automated fluid transfer. In an embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a system for automated fluid transfer, comprising a fluid pump, a fluid device, comprising a container for a volume of fluid, and a universal collar couplable to the container, the collar comprising a plurality of conduits, a sterile liquid transfer port in fluid communication with the plurality of conduits, a fluid pump module comprising compressible fluidic tubing coupled between an inlet port and an outlet port, each of the inlet port and the outlet port being in fluid communication with the plurality of conduits, and one or more viewing windows, and one or more sensors configured to detect, via the one or more viewing windows, the presence of liquid within a segment of the plurality of conduits.

A locating system (15) for containers (3). The containers (3) each have at least one container opening (5) for supplying or dispensing storage medium. A container closure (14) designed for closing the container opening (5) is present for each container (3). A GPS tracker (10) designed for determining current location information of the container (3) is present in the container closure (14) or in a dip tube (4) opening out at the container closure (14). The current location information is transmitted to a cloud-based computer system (16) by means of the GPS tracker (10).

An electronic cigarette vaporizer system includes a case and a vaporizer that is stored in the case; the system includes a non-contact sensor that detects release or withdrawal of the vaporizer from the case. When withdrawal of the vaporizer is detected, then the vaporizer electronic circuitry changes state, e.g. to a ready mode, or a pre-heating mode in which an inhalation detector is activated or to a heating mode, where an atomizing unit in the vaporizer is at least partly activated so that the vaporizer is fully heated when the first inhalation is taken.

A toothpaste transfer device for transferring toothpaste from a larger home-size toothpaste tube to a smaller travel-size toothpaste tube, enabling one to fill and refill travel-size toothpaste tubes.
