An e-liquid cartridge 20 designed to provide e-liquid for an electronic cigarette, or e-cig, vaporiser system, the cartridge including a chip 32 that stores and outputs (i) a unique identity for the cartridge and/or (ii) data defining the e-liquid stored in the cartridge, and the cartridge being adapted to be inserted into or form an integral part of the electronic vaporiser system. The data stored and output by the chip can define one or more of: flavour, nicotine strength, manufacturing batch number, date of manufacture, date of filing, tax data, or quantity of e-liquid stored in the cartridge. Suitably, the cartridge includes an integrated fluid transfer mechanism. The electronic vaporiser system can include a storage case adapted to both re-fill an electronic vaporiser with e-liquid from the cartridge and also re-charge the battery in the electronic vaporiser. The chip may output a unique ID and/or data defining the e-liquid stored in the cartridge to a microprocessor in the case. |
