Abstract
An electronic vapor provision device comprises a body and a vaporizer. The body comprises a power cell and a processor, and the vaporizer is releasably connectable to the body. The processor is configured to enter a sleep mode when the vaporizer is connected to the body and the device is inactive for an inactive time. Furthermore, the processor is configured to leave the sleep mode and enter a usable mode when the vaporizer is disconnected from the body then reconnected to the body.

An electronic vapor provision device body comprising:
- a battery assembly comprising a power cell and a computer, and configured to be releasably connectable to a vaporizer,
- wherein the computer comprises:
- a computer processor,
- a memory, and
- an input-output device;
- wherein the computer is configured to check whether the vaporizer is connected to the battery assembly, and in response to detecting the vaporizer is connected to the battery assembly, to enter or remain in a normal operation mode.
An electronic vapor provision device comprising:
- a battery assembly;
- and
- a vaporizer,
- wherein the battery assembly comprises a power cell and a computer, the vaporizer is releasably-attachable to the battery assembly and the computer comprises a computer processor, a memory and an input-output means, and wherein when the vaporizer is attached to the battery assembly, the computer is configured in use to enter a sleep mode when the device is inactive for a predetermined inactive time.
A method of operating an electronic vapor provision device, wherein
- the electronic vapor provision device comprises a body and a vaporizer, wherein the device body comprises a battery assembly comprising a power cell and a computer;
- and
- the vaporizer is releasably connectable to the body;
- the method comprising the computer checking whether the vaporizer is connected to the battery assembly, and in response detecting the vaporizer being connected to the battery assembly, the computer causes the electronic vapor provision device to enter or remain in a normal operation mode.
