METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CARTRIDGE IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A cartridge of an e-vaping device, the cartridge comprising:
- a connector configured to connect an anode and a cathode of the cartridge with a power source; and
a nonpermanent conductive structure connecting the anode and the cathode together;
wherein the nonpermanent conductive structure is configured to rupture upon operation of the e-vaping device.

Abstract
A cartridge configured to house a pre-vapor formulation for an e-vaping device, the cartridge including a connector having an anode and a cathode, and a nonpermanent conductive structure connecting the anode and the cathode, wherein the nonpermanent conductive structure is configured to break upon operation of the e-vaping device. A method of controlling usage of a cartridge in an e-vaping device, the e-vaping device including a battery connected to the cartridge, the method including providing a nonpermanent conductive structure between an anode of the cartridge and a cathode of the cartridge, the nonpermanent conductive structure being configured to break upon operation of the e-vaping device, detecting a resistance of the nonpermanent structure prior to operation of the e-vaping device, when the detected resistance is higher than a threshold resistance, preventing operation of the e-vaping device.
