Abstract: A method of forming a post of a cartridge of an electronic vaping device includes cutting a blank from a sheet of metal, drawing the blank to a desired diameter and length to form an elongate body, reverse drawing a portion of the elongate body to form a first end having an opening therein, the first end being generally cylindrical and having a generally beveled edge at an edge thereof, forming a bulged portion between the first end and a second end of the elongate body, and forming a flared section at the second end.
