Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a main body portion and a mouthpiece portion, the mouthpiece portion being moveably connected to the main body portion by a connection mechanism. The main body portion includes a first cartridge seating configured to receive a first cartridge and the mouthpiece portion includes a second cartridge seating configured to receive a second cartridge. The connection mechanism is configured to enable the mouthpiece portion to move relative to the main body portion between: a closed position in which the first cartridge seating is enclosed in the electronic cigarette; and an open position in which the first cartridge seating is exposed such that a first cartridge can be received, while the main body and the mouthpiece portion remain connected to each other by the connection mechanism.
