REFILLING DEVICE

A refill device is provided for refilling an article with an aerosol-generating material from a refill reservoir using a transfer mechanism. The refill device includes a controller configured to: acquire an indication of an aerosol-generating material contained within the article; obtaining an indication of an aerosol-generating material contained within the refill reservoir; determining whether the aerosol-generating material within the article and the aerosol-generating material within the refill reservoir constitute an allowable combination of aerosol-generating materials based on the acquired indication of the aerosol-generating material contained within the article and the indication of the aerosol-generating material contained within the refill reservoir; and performing an action in response to the determination. An article, a refill reservoir, and a system and method of refilling an article with an aerosol-generating material from a refill reservoir using a transfer mechanism of a refill device are als
