Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023281245A1] A refilling device for refilling an article with aerosol-generating material from a refill reservoir using a transfer mechanism is provided. The refilling device comprises a controller configured to: obtain an indication of the aerosol-generating material contained within the article; obtain an indication of the aerosol-generating material contained within the refill reservoir; determine whether the aerosol-generating material within the article and the aerosol-generating material within the refill reservoir constitute a permissible combination of aerosol-generating materials based on the obtained indication of the aerosol-generating material contained within the article and the aerosol-generating material contained within the refill reservoir; and cause an action to be performed responsive to the determination. Also described are an article, a refill reservoir, a system and a method for causing refilling of an article with aerosol-generating material from a refill reservoir using a transfer mechanism of a refilling device.
