<p>A combination of an inhaler and a refill pack; the inhaler comprises a reservoir 2 for an inhalable composition, a heating element 6 and/or vibrating transducer to selectively volatilise at least some components of the composition and at least one inhaler capacitor 8 arranged to supply electrical power to the heater and/or vibrating transducer when a user inhales from the inhaler. The refill pack comprises a refill reservoir 33 of inhalable composition and a battery 35 coupled to a refill capacitor 34, and is arranged to engage with the inhaler and to simultaneously refill the reservoir 2 and recharge the inhaler capacitor 8 from the refill capacitor 34. The invention also extends to the inhaler and refill pack separately and to a method of refilling and recharging the inhaler. Preferably the inhaler is an electronic cigarette and the capacitor is 8 a super capacitor. Also claimed is a method of refilling and recharging an inhaler by engaging the inhaler with the refill pack.</p> |
