Abstract
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.

An e-liquid cartridge designed to provide e-liquid for an electronic cigarette vaporiser system, the cartridge including a chip that stores and outputs (i) a unique identity for the cartridge and (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 vaporiser system, in which the unique identity and the data defining the e-liquid stored in the cartridge is processed by a processor in a device into which the cartridge is inserted or attached, in which the processor in the device reads out from the chip the quantity of e-liquid remaining in, or provided by, the cartridge and compares that with its stored data for the quantity of e-liquid remaining in, or provided by, that cartridge and prevents use of that cartridge if the quantity of e-liquid remaining in, or provided by, the cartridge, as declared by the chip, exceeds the stored data for that cartridge, to make unauthorized re-filling of the cartridge pointless.
