A fluid delivery lock and key system and kit for the refill of an electronic vaping device. The device may utilize a bottle with a pipette head key to one lateral end which may deploy one of a wide number of possible protruding shapes. The lock mechanism may further deploy one of a wide number of matching intruding shapes. The protruding shapes and intruding shapes being engageable with each other for lock and key functionality. The mounting base may be reversibly attached to one end of an electronic cigarette cartridge. The pipette head key may be configured to rotatably engage with the lock mechanism such that a liquid filling hole can be transitioned to an open position and a closed position. The open position permitting fluid delivery into a liquid tank with the closed position preventing fluid escape from the liquid tank.

A case for an electronic cigarette vaporiser, the case including an automatic lifting mechanism that lifts the vaporiser up a few mm from the case to enable a user to easily grasp the vaporiser and withdraw it from the case. The lifting mechanism can be spring-based. The case both re-fills the vaporiser with liquid and also re-charges a battery in the vaporiser.

An electronic smoking device (10) includes a power supply portion (12) comprising a power supply (18) as well as an atomizer/liquid reservoir portion (14) comprising a refillable liquid reservoir (34) adapted for storing a liquid, and an atomizer (26) operable when connected to the power supply (18) to atomize liquid stored in the liquid reservoir (34). The atomizer/liquid reservoir portion (14) comprises a liquid filling channel (40) and an air outlet channel (42) at least partially separate from the liquid filling channel (40). The liquid filling channel (40) communicates with the liquid reservoir (34) and is configured to let pass liquid received from outside the electronic smoking device (10) into the liquid reservoir (34). The air outlet channel (42) communicates with the liquid reservoir (34) and is configured to let pass air out of the liquid reservoir (34).

A contained liquid system for use with a refillable aerosol delivery device is provided. The contained liquid system includes an aerosol delivery device having an adapter therein for receiving aerosol precursor composition within a reservoir of the aerosol delivery device, and a container of aerosol precursor composition having a corresponding adapter therein for transferring aerosol precursor composition from the container. The adapter and the corresponding adapter are removably, sealably connectable for refilling the aerosol delivery device with aerosol precursor composition. The adapter engages a valve of the corresponding adapter and includes a body defining separate and distinct filling airflow ports. The filling port transfers aerosol precursor composition from the container into the aerosol delivery device. The airflow port enables a flow of air through at least the portion of the aerosol delivery device when the adapter and valve are disengaged.

A method for supplying a liquid to an inhaler cartridge includes a housing body including an accommodation space capable of accommodating a liquid, a first opening communicating with the accommodation space and opened in a first direction, and a second opening communicating with the accommodation space and opened in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction, and a cap configured to be formed separately from the housing body and close the first opening. The method includes closing the first opening with the cap, and after the first opening is closed, supplying the liquid to the accommodation space through the second opening.

An assembly of the present invention is designed specifically for filling vaporizer cartridges, pods, and other personal vaporizer systems with high viscosity extracts (oils). The assembly includes three main components such as the syringe station, the control box, and foot pedal. The control box includes the software to operate the assembly. The control box has controls for temperature and air pressure (for purging the vessel). The foot pedal operates the syringe for filling cartridges. The syringe station consists of a heated vessel, and a heated pneumatically operated syringe. The syringe system can be used in this configuration and can also be used as part of a larger, fully automated filling machine without limiting the scope of the present invention. The syringe system works well with viscous liquids.
