Electronic vaporiser system
First Claim
1. An electronic cigarette vaporiser system including a user-replaceable cartridge designed to provide a liquid or other substance for the electronic vaporiser system, the user-replaceable cartridge including a chip configured to store data related to the batch number of the substance stored in the user-replaceable cartridge, and the cartridge being adapted to be inserted into or form an integral part of at least a part of the electronic vaporiser system, wherein the cartridge is not user-refillable and includes no heating element;
- in which the electronic vaporiser system includes (i) an e-liquid reservoir that is separate from the user-replaceable cartridge; and
(ii) an electric or electronic pump that is configured to withdraw e-liquid from the user-replaceable cartridge and pump pressurised e-liquid to the e-liquid reservoir; and
(iii) a heating element that is not in the user-replaceable cartridge but is instead in, or in e-liquid communication with, the e-liquid reservoir.

Abstract
An electronic cigarette vaporizer system including a cartridge designed to provide a liquid or other substance for the electronic vaporizer system, the cartridge including a chip that stores data related to the batch number of the substance stored in the cartridge, and the cartridge being adapted to be inserted into or form an integral part of the electronic vaporizer system. The electronic vaporizer system reads the data from the chip and compares that data with stored data and, depending on the result of that comparison, either prevents or permits use of that substance.
