A method of assembling and testing a simulated cigarette. Assembling the simulated cigarette to have an elongate main body (1) containing a reservoir (4) for an inhalable composition, a breath operated valve (5), and a refill valve (10). Testing the integrity of the reservoir requires applying a pressured gas to open the refill valve (10) to pressurise the reservoir, measuring the pressure drop in the reservoir, and providing a pass indication if the pressure drop remains below a predetermined threshold. It also requires testing the breath operated valve (5) by applying suction at an inhaling end, measuring the flow rate from the cigarette and providing a pass indication if the flow rate falls outside a predetermined limit. |
