Abstract
A cartridge for a vapour generating system includes a reservoir for storing a vapour generating liquid. A method of filling the cartridge includes: (i) introducing (S1) a vapour generating liquid into the reservoir via a first opening; (ii) venting (S2) air from the reservoir via a second opening during step (i); and (iii) positioning (S3) first and second valves in the corresponding first and second openings to seal the first and openings to prevent the escape of vapour generating liquid from the reservoir through the first and second openings.

A method of filling a cartridge for a vapour generating system, the cartridge comprising a reservoir for storing a vapour generating liquid, the method comprising:
- (i) introducing a vapour generating liquid into the reservoir via a first opening;
- (ii) venting air from the reservoir via a second opening during step (i);
- and
- (iii) positioning first and second valves in the corresponding first and second openings to seal the first and second openings to prevent the escape of vapour generating liquid from the reservoir through the first and second openings.
A cartridge for a vapour generating system, the cartridge comprising:
- a reservoir configured to store a vapour generating liquid;
- a first opening configured for introducing vapour generating liquid into the reservoir;
- and
- a second opening configured for venting air from the reservoir during the introduction of vapour generating liquid into the reservoir via the first opening;
- wherein the cartridge further comprises a vaporization chamber and first and second one-way valves positioned in the first and second openings, respectively, to prevent the escape of liquid from the reservoir through the first and second openings and to allow air to flow to the vaporization chamber through the first and second one-way valves.
