Abstract
An electronic cigarette comprises a battery portion which is operable to provide power to a heating element of the electronic cigarette, and a cartomizer coupled with the battery portion. The cartomizer comprises a liquid container which provides a liquid toward the heating element wherein the liquid is used for producing and flavoring a vapor of the electronic cigarette when the liquid is heated by the heating element, and a memory which is operable to record and store an amount of the liquid remaining in the liquid container.

-19. (canceled)
An electronic vaping device comprising:
- a cartridge including
- a pre-vapor formulation reservoir configured to retain a pre-vapor formulation,
- a heating element configured to heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from the pre-vapor formulation reservoir,
- a capacitor connected to the heating element, the capacitor configured to be charged by power applied to the heating element,
- a memory connected in parallel with the capacitor, the memory configured to
- receive a supply voltage from the power applied to the heating element when the power is applied to the heating element,
- receive a supply voltage from the capacitor when the power is not applied to the heating element;
- and
- a power supply section releasably engaged with the cartridge, the power supply section including
- a power supply configured to provide power to the electronic vaping device, and
- processing circuitry configured to control power to the heating element.
A cartridge for an electronic vaping device, the cartridge comprising:
- a pre-vapor formulation reservoir configured to retain a pre-vapor formulation;
- a heating element configured to heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from the pre-vapor formulation reservoir;
- a capacitor connected to the heating element, the capacitor configured to be charged by power applied to the heating element;
- a memory connected in parallel with the capacitor, the memory configured to
- receive a supply voltage from the power applied to the heating element when the power is applied to the heating element, and
- receive a supply voltage from the capacitor when the power is not applied to the heating element.
