A cartridge for use in a vapor provision system, wherein the cartridge comprises:
- an inner container holding a reservoir of fluid to be vaporized;
- and
- an outer housing having a mouthpiece formed therein,
- wherein the outer housing extends in a longitudinal direction along an outside of the inner container for at least a portion of the inner container, wherein the inner container and the outer housing are provided with a latch mechanism to retain the inner container within the outer housing, such that movement between the inner container and the outer housing along the longitudinal axis is prevented
A cartridge for use in a vapor provision system, wherein the cartridge comprises:
- an inner container holding a reservoir of fluid to be vaporized;
- and
- an outer housing having a mouthpiece formed therein,
- wherein the outer housing extends along a longitudinal axis along an outside of the inner container for at least a portion of the inner container, wherein the inner container and the outer housing are provided with a latch mechanism to retain the inner container within the outer housing, and wherein the cartridge comprises a mechanical connector for attaching the cartridge to a control unit of the vapor provision system along the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the latch mechanism includes a first member formed on one of the outer housing or the inner container, and a cooperating second member formed on the other of the outer housing or the inner container, and wherein the first member and the second member are configured to engage one another to form the latch mechanism, and
- wherein the inner container includes a body configured to hold the reservoir of fluid and a tab, wherein the tab allows airflow through the mouthpiece, and wherein the first member and the second member are located adjacent to the tab and arranged along the longitudinal axis.
A cartridge for use in a vapor provision system, wherein the cartridge comprises:
- an inner container extending parallel to a longitudinal axis, the inner container holding a reservoir of fluid to be vaporized;
- and
- an outer housing extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and having a mouthpiece formed therein,
- a latch mechanism configured to retain the inner container radially inwards of the outer housing such that
- wherein the outer housing extends along an outside of the inner container relative to the longitudinal axis, and wherein a channel is provided between an inner surface of the outer housing and an outer surface of the inner container to allow vapor to flow parallel to the longitudinal axis through the channel to the mouthpiece.
