Leak Proof Phillip Morris Patent?

[Cyberslinger]

Patent EP2460424A1 - An aerosol generating system with leakage prevention - Google Patents

Curious what you guys think of this and is this part of the reason that the phrase "leak proof" was included in the Euro TPD?

It looks to me like they think they have found a working design that is "leak proof", key word there is "think".

I didn't read the entire Patent sheet, but I searched it for the words 510 and thread, looking to see how it would connect to a PV, and trying to see details of that connector.

If you ask me, it looks very similar to other designs with some internal changes, which may or may not be great (and there's already one out with an internal springed juice chamber lock). However, if it has a vented 510, like a Cartomizer, ProTank, or other similar 510, then it's still most likely going to leak e-liquid into the battery anyway.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. But we don't even get a product name to look for.




Looking again, this thing is ancient . . .
