Benefits of technology

The present patent relates to a flavor pouch and a nicotine pouch for adding flavoring and nicotine to electronic cigarette liquid. The pouches contain a liquid solution containing the desired flavor or nicotine, and a removable seal for accessing the solution. The pouches may also have an ejection limiter that limits the amount of liquid expelled from the pouch when it is squeezed. The liquid solutions may include various flavorings or nicotine, and the pouches may be designed to add a flavor or nicotine to the electronic cigarette liquid.

Problems solved by technology

These containers without nicotine or with pre-determined nicotine levels typically do not allow for customization of nicotine level.

Abstract

A flavor or nicotine pouch for adding flavoring and / or nicotine to electronic cigarette liquid, or “e-juice.” The pouch may include a polymer housing holding a liquid solution including a flavoring and / or a nicotine solution designed for adding a flavor and / or nicotine to an electronic cigarette juice, and a removable seal for accessing the liquid solution. The removable seal may be a tear tab, twist off cap, snap off cap, or the like that is removable to create an opening into an interior of the polymer housing where the liquid solution is contained. The removable seal, in some cases, may be operably re-connectable with the polymer housing to reseal the opening.
