Abstract
A container for refilling an aerosol delivery device includes a housing storing an aerosol precursor composition. An adapter coupled to the housing is removably, sealably connectable with the aerosol delivery device for refilling with aerosol precursor composition, and includes a valve engageable with the aerosol delivery device. The aerosol delivery device defines separate and distinct filling and airflow ports, the filling port for transfer of aerosol precursor composition into the aerosol delivery device during refilling, wherein the airflow port is closed by the valve to prevent passing of the aerosol precursor composition therethrough, and the airflow port for a flow of air through the aerosol delivery device when the valve and aerosol delivery device are disengaged. A cap is removably coupled to the housing over the adapter, the cap being a removal-resistant cap including two tabs, the simultaneous pressing of which allows the removal-resistant cap to turn and be removed.
