Abstract: The invention provides a system for obtaining a user profile comprising one or more user sentiment metrics. The system includes a display unit adapted to display a representation of each of the one or more user sentiment metrics, each representation occupying a proportion of a display area of the display unit, and a user interface in communication with the display unit adapted to receive a user input. The system further comprises a processing unit, in communication with the display unit and the user interface, adapted to control the display unit to adjust a characteristic of the representation of a user sentiment metric based on the user input, the characteristic of the representation of a user sentiment metric representing the magnitude of the user sentiment metric and generate a user profile based on the adjusted characteristic of each representation of the one or more user sentiment metrics.

Abstract: An e-cigarette PV that includes an air pressure valve or device so that excess air can escape from an e-liquid reservoir in the PV when that reservoir is being filled under pressure with e-liquid from a parent reservoir. The valve or device is a barrier made of an air-porous material, such as a sintered polymer or metal, coated with or otherwise including a barrier or layer of an air-porous substance that is not porous to e-liquid, such as an oleophobic material or a hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic material. The oleophobic material is one of: sintered phosphor bronze, sintered stainless steel and sintered PU plastic.
