Abstract: A vapor cartridge for a non-combustible vaping device may be configured to receive a flavor cartridge, generate a vapor, and direct the generated vapor through the flavor cartridge to provide a flavored vapor. The flavor cartridge may include an instance of electrically conductive material extending at least partially around the flavor cartridge. The vapor cartridge may include an authentication assembly including a set of electrically conductive instruments may independently and directly contact the instance of electrically conductive material of the flavor cartridge inserted into the vapor cartridge, such that the electrically conductive instruments are electrically connected to each other through the instance of electrically conductive material of the flavor cartridge. The vapor cartridge may be coupled with a base that includes a control circuitry configured to control vapor generation by the vapor generator, based on the electrically conductive instruments being electrically connected to each other through the flavor cartridge.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flavored piece includes providing a matrix material providing at least one of a flavorant and an aroma, mixing the matrix material with the at least one of the flavorant and the aroma to form a mixture, and performing a fabricating process of the flavored piece. A flavored mouth-end piece for an e-vaping device includes a matrix material and at least one of a flavorant and an aroma, wherein the at least one of the flavorant and the aroma are distributed within the matrix material.

Abstract: A nicotine e-vaping device may include a device body configured to receive a nicotine cartridge. The nicotine cartridge includes a nicotine pre-vapor formulation, a wick, and an integral heater-thermocouple. The wick is configured to transport the nicotine pre-vapor formulation by capillary action. The integral heater-thermocouple includes a first segment made of a first alloy and a second segment made of a second alloy. The device body includes a power supply, at least one sensor, and a controller. The power supply is configured to deliver electrical energy to the integral heater-thermocouple to heat the nicotine pre-vapor formulation to generate a nicotine vapor. The at least one sensor is configured to measure a voltage difference between the first segment and the second segment of the integral heater-thermocouple during such heating. The controller is configured to adjust the electrical energy to the integral heater-thermocouple based on the measured voltage difference.
