Electronic vaporiser system
First Claim
1. An electronic cigarette vaporiser system that includes an electronic vaporiser, wherein the electronic vaporiser includes an IMU (inertial measurement unit) and a heating element, in which the electronic vaporiser system includes (i) a user-replaceable, e-liquid cartridge that is attached to or integral with at least a part of the system, but is not user-refillable and includes no heating element and (ii) an e-liquid reservoir that is separate from the user-replaceable e-liquid cartridge;
- and (iii) an electric or electronic pump that is configured to withdraw e-liquid from the user-replaceable e-liquid cartridge and pump pressurised e-liquid to the e-liquid reservoir; and
(iv) the heating element that is not in the user-replaceable e-liquid cartridge but is instead in, or in e-liquid communication with, the e-liquid reservoir.

Abstract
An electronic cigarette vaporizer that includes an IMU (inertial measurement unit). The IMU enables the vaporizer to detect when it is being lifted up and out of a case in which it has been stored so that it can change state. The change of state can be to turn on and to start heating an atomizing element. Data from the IMU may also enable the vaporizer to tell if it is not being used and so can power down.
