Abstract
A portable, personal storage and carrying case for an e-liquid e-cigarette PV in which the case includes: an electrical power source for re-charging a rechargeable battery in the PV; a user-replaceable reservoir for holding e-liquid; and an electrical or electronic pump adapted to transfer e-liquid from the reservoir to a chamber in the PV, the pump delivering a pre-defined or variable quantity of e-liquid from the reservoir; and in which the reservoir includes an overflow channel that enables excess e-liquid that is pumped up from the reservoir but is not stored in the PV to be captured and returned to the reservoir.
Claims25
A portable, personal storage and carrying case for an e-liquid e-cigarette PV in which the case includes:
- (a) an electrical power source for re-charging a rechargeable battery in the PV;
- (b) a user-replaceable reservoir for holding e-liquid;
- and
- (c) an electrical or electronic pump adapted to transfer e-liquid from the reservoir to a chamber in the PV, the pump delivering a pre-defined or variable quantity of e-liquid from the reservoir;
- and in which the reservoir includes an overflow channel that enables excess e-liquid that is pumped up from the reservoir but is not stored in the PV to be captured and returned to the reservoir.
A user-replaceable e-liquid reservoir for dispensing e-liquid, inserted into, or otherwise attached to, a portable, personal storage and carrying case for an e-liquid e-cigarette PV and engaging with an electrical or electronic pump fluid transfer system in the case, the case including:
- (a) an electrical power source for re-charging a rechargeable battery in the PV;
- and
- (b) the electrical or electronic pump, being configured to transfer e-liquid from the e-liquid reservoir to a chamber in the PV, the pump delivering a pre-defined or variable quantity of e-liquid from the reservoir;
- and in which the reservoir includes an overflow channel that enables excess e-liquid that is pumped up from the reservoir but is not stored in the PV to be captured and returned to the reservoir.
A method of operating a portable, personal e-cigarette system including a PV, the method including the steps of:
- (a) inserting or attaching a user-replaceable reservoir for holding e-liquid to the case;
- (b) recharging the PV with an electrical power source in the case;
- (c) operating an electrical or electronic pump in the case to transfer e-liquid from the reservoir to a chamber in the PV, the pump delivering a pre-defined or variable quantity of e-liquid from the reservoir;
- and in which the reservoir includes an overflow channel that enables excess e-liquid that is pumped up from the reservoir but is not stored in the PV to be captured and returned to the reservoir.
