sending a first signal indicating that a puff has been initiated on an electronic cigarette;
receiving the first signal that a puff has been initiated by a data logging device;
storing a first time incident in a memory by the data logging device;
sending a second signal indicating that the puff has stopped;
storing a second time incident in the memory by the data logging device; and
determining a puff duration using the first time incident and the second time incident,
storing a puff count value in the memory, wherein the puff count value tracks the number of puffs that have been taken on the electronic cigarette, wherein the puff count value tracks the number of puffs that have been taken and the total duration of time of the puff that have been taken on a particular electronic cigarette battery since the last recharging;
storing an SCig log data in the memory, wherein the SCig log data comprises a number of times the electronic cigarette battery has been recharged.
