Abstract: A cartridge for an e-vaping device may include a housing extending along a longitudinal axis of the cartridge, and an outlet-end insert coupled to the outlet end of the housing. The housing may at least partially enclose a pre-vapor formulation reservoir and a vapor generator of the cartridge and may further channel light via internal reflection through an interior of the housing. The outlet-end insert may include an outlet in flow communication with the vapor generator, may direct the vapor generated by the vapor generator out of the cartridge through the outlet, and may further emit the light channeled through the interior of the housing. One or more properties of the light may be controlled.
