wherein the movable assembly is configured to be displaced towards the bottle stopper when a force is placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper, and wherein the filling projection and the projection opening are configured to be at least partially uncovered by the refill assembly when a force is placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper.
2 . The refill bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the projection opening is in fluid communication with the bottle housing through the filling projection.
3 . The refill bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the spring is configured to move the refill assembly back in to position to cover the filling projection and the projection opening when the force placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper is removed from the refill assembly.
4 . The refill bottle according to claim 1 , wherein the refill assembly further comprises a cap coupled to the spring.
5 . The refill bottle according to claim 4 , wherein the cap is configured to fit within a recessed region of an eCig tank.
6 . The refill bottle according to claim 1 , further comprising a liquid stored within the bottle cavity and wherein the bottle housing is configured to transmit pressure to the bottle cavity such that the applied pressure causes the liquid to move from the bottle cavity, through the filling projection, and exit the refill bottle from the projection opening.
7 . A refill system for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
a refill bottle comprising a bottle housing, a bottle cavity defined by the bottle housing, and a refill assembly coupled to the bottle housing, the refill assembly comprising a bottle stopper, a movable assembly, a spring, a filling projection, and a projection opening, wherein the refill assembly is configured to cover the filling projection and the projection opening when no force is acting upon the refill assembly; and
an eCig tank comprising a tank side wall, a tank reservoir defined by the tank side wall, and a self-sealing port coupled to the tank side wall.
8 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the movable assembly is configured to be displaced towards the bottle stopper when a force is placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper, and wherein the filling projection and the projection opening are configured to be at least partially uncovered by the refill assembly when a force is placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper.
9 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the self-sealing port further comprises a recessed region, a self-sealing opening, and a self-sealing orifice.
10 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 9 , wherein the self-sealing orifice comprises a silicone material.
11 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 9 , wherein the refill bottle further comprises a cap coupled to the spring and wherein the cap is configured to fit within the recessed region.
12 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 11 , wherein the filling projection is configured to pass through the self-sealing port when the refill assembly is pressed against the self-sealing port.
13 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the spring is configured to move the refill assembly back in to position to cover the filling projection and the projection opening when the force placed on the movable assembly in a direction of the bottle stopper is removed from the refill assembly.
14 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , further comprising a liquid stored within the bottle cavity and wherein the bottle housing is configured to transmit pressure to the bottle cavity such that the applied pressure causes the liquid to move from the bottle cavity, through the filling projection, and exit the refill bottle from the projection opening.
15 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 7 , wherein the self-sealing port further comprises a locking interface.
16 . A refill system for an electronic cigarette, comprising:
a refill bottle comprising a bottle housing, a bottle cavity defined by the bottle housing, and a refill assembly coupled to the bottle housing, the refill assembly comprising a refill check valve and at least one flange; and
an eCig tank comprising a tank side wall, a tank reservoir defined by the tank side wall, and a self-sealing port coupled to the tank side wall,
wherein the self-sealing port comprises a locking interface, a fill port, and a tank check valve
17 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 16 , wherein the self-sealing port comprises a silicone material.
18 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 16 , further comprising a liquid stored within the bottle cavity and wherein the bottle housing is configured to transmit pressure to the bottle cavity such that the applied pressure causes the liquid to move from the bottle cavity, through the refill check valve, and exit the refill bottle.
19 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 18 , wherein the refill check valve is configured to interact with the tank check valve to allow the liquid stored within the bottle cavity to move through the refill check valve, through the tank check valve, and into the tank reservoir.
20 . The refill system for an electronic cigarette according to claim 16 , wherein the at least one flange is configured to removably couple with the locking interface.
