Abstract: An e-vapor apparatus may include a pod assembly and a dispensing body configured to receive the pod assembly. A vaporizer may be disposed in the pod assembly and/or the dispensing body. The pod assembly may include a vapor precursor compartment, a device compartment, and a vapor channel extending from the device compartment and traversing the vapor precursor compartment. The pod assembly is a smart pod configured to receive, store, and transmit information that can be communicated with the dispensing body and/or another electronic device. The proximal portion of the dispensing body includes a vapor passage and a through-hole. The vapor passage may extend from an end surface of the proximal portion to a side wall of the through-hole. The through-hole is configured to receive the pod assembly such that the vapor channel of the pod assembly is aligned with the vapor passage of the dispensing body.

Abstract: A cartridge of an electronic Taping device includes a mouth-end insert. The mouth-end insert includes at least eight outlets configured to distribute vapor. The mouth-end insert has a surface area surrounding the outlets that is configured to absorb heat from the vapor and reduce a temperature of the vapor exiting the mouth-end insert via the outlets to a temperature ranging from about 60° C. to about 70° C.

Abstract: The e-vaping section and the e-vaping device include at least one first wick configured to transfer a pre-vapor formulation, the at least one first wick being a filamentary wick that is U-shaped with opposing ends each extending into a reservoir. At least one first heater is operable upon at least one portion of the at least one first wick to at least partially volatilize the pre-vapor formulation and form a vapor. A support plate is operable to support the at least one first heater and at least partially support the at least one first wick, the support plate being operable to form an electrical connection between the at least one first heater and a power supply.

Abstract: The e-vaping device includes a housing, the housing defining one or more inlets, a power source, and a cartridge. The cartridge includes a reservoir containing a pre-vapor formulation. A heater and wick arrangement is in fluid communication with the reservoir. An annular seal is in fluid communication with the one or more inlets. The annular seal defines a first air passage. A flow restrictor is held by the annular seal. The flow restrictor defines a second air passage, the second air passage being configured to provide a desired resistance-to-draw (RTD) for the e-vaping device. A combined airflow cross-sectional area of the one or more inlets is greater than an airflow cross-sectional area of the second air passage. The flow restrictor is made from a first material that is harder than a second material for the annular seal.

Abstract: The heating engine control circuit includes a rail converter circuit and a gate driver circuit. The rail converter circuit is configured to convert a power supply voltage into a power signal based on a vaping enable signal, the vaping enable signal being a pulse width modulated signal. The gate driver circuit includes an integrated gate driver. The integrated gate driver is configured to control application of power to a heater of the non-nicotine electronic vaping device based on the power signal, a first enable signal and a second enable signal.

Abstract: A device assembly includes a controller, which is configured to control the nicotine electronic vaping device to output an indication of a current level of the nicotine pre-vapor formulation in the nicotine reservoir of a nicotine pod assembly in response to determining that an aggregate amount of nicotine pre-vapor formulation drawn from the nicotine reservoir or an aggregate amount of vaporized nicotine pre-vapor formulation is greater than or equal to the at least one nicotine pre-vapor formulation level threshold.
