Abstract:
An e-cigarette PV that includes an air pressure valve or device so that excess air can escape from an e-liquid reservoir in the PV when that reservoir is being filled under pressure with e-liquid from a parent reservoir. The valve or device is a barrier made of an air-porous material, such as a sintered polymer or metal, coated with or otherwise including a barrier or layer of an air-porous substance that is not porous to e-liquid, such as an oleophobic material or a hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic material. The oleophobic material is one of: sintered phosphor bronze, sintered stainless steel and sintered PU plastic.

Claim (Index 7):
The vaping device of  claim 1  in which if the device is in an aircraft and ambient air pressure in the aircraft falls to significantly lower than sea-level atmospheric pressure, then the air pressure valve or device is configured to operate to ensure that the air pressure in at least part of the device rapidly equalises to ambient air pressure in the aircraft cabin.
