The present invention relates to a system and assembly for refilling a reservoir with liquid dispensed from a dispenser, in particular, but not exclusively, to a system and assembly for the substantially leak-free refilling of the reservoir of a smoking-substitute device with a liquid comprising nicotine from a refill dispenser. The assembly is configured to provide a gas communication pathway through the assembly and physically separate from the liquid communication pathway for venting gas from an end of the assembly proximal the first aperture to an exterior of the assembly responsive to the movement of the assembly to the secured and open configuration, the assembly configured to close the gas communication pathway in the unsecured and closed configuration.

System and assembly for refilling a liquid reservoir

The present invention provides a method, system and apparatus for refilling a reservoir of a smoking-substitute device with liquid from a dispenser.

System and apparatus

A filling system for an electronic cigarette () is disclosed in which a nozzle () of a liquid dispenser () contains a plunger () which is biased by a spring () into a closed position in which liquid is prevented from flowing through the nozzle (). In use the nozzle () is inserted into an open end () of a liquid reservoir () for an electronic cigarette containing an air tube (). The plunger () engages with the end of the air tube () blocking the air tube () and opening the liquid flow path through the nozzle (). The arrangement of the plunger () and nozzle () is such that operation of the plunger () only occurs when the nozzle () engaged within a liquid reservoir (). A membrane () can be provided to prevent leakage from the liquid reservoir () when the nozzle () is disengaged.
