Abstract: A capsule for an electronic cigarette has a first end for engaging with an electronic cigarette device and a second end configured as a mouthpiece portion having a vapor outlet. The capsule further includes a liquid store configured to contain a liquid to be vaporized, a vaporizing unit comprising a heater and a fluid transfer element, the vaporizing unit being arranged within a vaporizing chamber, a main vapor channel extending from the vaporizing chamber to the vapor outlet in the mouthpiece, and a housing enclosing the liquid store and the vaporizing unit, wherein the fluid transfer element is fluidly connected to the liquid store by at least one liquid inlet and the fluid transfer element provides a capillary action on liquid received therein, wherein the heater is provided at a position that is substantially adjacent the liquid inlet, or at a position between the liquid inlet and the mouthpiece.

Abstract: An electronic cigarette device includes an elongate main body including a power supply unit, electrical circuitry and a seating for a liquid reservoir. Front and back panels are slidably attached to the elongate main body and configured to move in the longitudinal direction between an extended position and a retracted position. The panels include connectors configured to slide on rail members in a longitudinal direction. The connectors include a movable portion that is movable relative to a fixed portion, and which allows movement of the panel in a direction that is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the rail members.

Abstract: An aerosol generating device, in particular an electronic cigarette or a vaporizer, has means to avoid children or young persons to use said aerosol generating device.

Abstract: A container for an aerosol generating device is disclosed. The container has a body has a body comprising a first portion configured to receive an aerosol generating device and one or more retention means externally accessible from the body, each retention means being configured to releasably retain a module.

Abstract: A container for an aerosol generating device comprises receiving means for receiving the aerosol generating device. One or more tanks are each arranged to retain a substance in use. For each tank, there is dispensing means for controllably transferring the substance from the tank to the aerosol generating device while the aerosol generating device is in the container.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating an aerosol and/or a vapour in an inhaler device includes a reservoir for storing a supply of a liquid; a heating system fluidly connected with the reservoir for receiving the liquid and configured to heat the liquid to generate the aerosol and/or vapor therefrom; a pumping system configured to pump the liquid from the reservoir to the heating system; and a valve arrangement for regulating flow from the pumping system to the heating system, the valve arrangement having at least one valve which is configured to transition from a closed position to an open position for transmitting the liquid from the pumping system to the heating system. An inhaler device includes the apparatus, and a system includes an inhaler device and a peripheral electronic device. A method of generating an aerosol and/or a vapor in an inhaler device is also provided.
