A pack 100 for holding and recharging an e-cigarette (10), said pack comprising: a rechargeable pack battery 151; a first connector which is electrically connectable to an external power source; a first recharging mechanism for recharging the pack battery 151 using the external power source comprising a first protection circuit; a second connector 700 which is electrically connectable to an e-cigarette (10) contained within the pack 100; and a second recharging mechanism for recharging the e-cigarette (10) when it is electrically connected to the second connector 700 comprising a second protection circuit; wherein the first and second protection circuits prevent electrical power flow when the current or voltage applied exceeds a predetermined threshold. In another embodiment the first recharging mechanism is configured to monitor and regulate the recharging of the battery pack based on voltage, current, time and temperature of the pack battery. Also claimed is a rechargeable e-cigarette (10) comprising a charging controller configured to prevent electrical power flow when the temperature of the battery lies outside a predetermined range; or in another embodiment, configured to monitor and regulate the recharging of the battery based on voltage, current, time and temperature of the battery. |
