Abstract: An additive assembly for an e-vaping device includes an adsorbent material that includes adsorbed carbon dioxide. The additive assembly may be in fluid communication with a vaporizer assembly that forms a generated vapor. The adsorbent material may release the carbon dioxide into the generated vapor based on at least a portion of the generated vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material. The additive assembly may include a flavor material including a flavorant. The adsorbent material may generate heat based on at least a portion of the generated vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material, and the flavor material may release flavorant into the generated vapor based at least in part on the heat generated by the adsorbent material. One or more of the adsorbent material and the flavor material may be included in beads. Adsorbent material and flavor material may be included in multiple additive structures within the additive assembly.

Abstract: An e-vaping device may include a pre-vapor formulation tank configured to hold a pre-vapor formulation, an adaptor that includes a vaporizer assembly configured to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation, and a flavor insert positioned to receive vapors formed by the vaporizer assembly. The flavor insert may hold at least one flavorant. The tank, adaptor, and flavor insert may be a non-combustible vaping element that includes a channel into which the flavor insert may be inserted to be positioned to receive the vapors. The flavor insert and the vaporizer assembly may be at opposing ends of the channel. The flavor insert may be a detachable insert configured to be inserted into the tank element. The flavor element may be a tobacco element. The tobacco element may be at least a portion of a cigarette.

Abstract: The cartridge includes a housing and a reservoir configured to contain a pre-vapor formulation. A first tube extends longitudinally within the housing, the first tube at least partially defining an air passage. A vapor generator is in communication with a first portion of the air passage, where the vapor generator is configured to communicate the pre-vapor formulation from the reservoir to the first portion and at least partially vaporize the pre-vapor formulation. A first air inlet is defined by the cartridge, where the first air inlet is in communication with a second portion of the air passage, the second portion being upstream of the vapor generator. A dilution air passage is defined by the cartridge, where a discharge end of the dilution air passage intersect a third portion of the air passage that is downstream of the vapor generator. The method makes the cartridge. The e-vaping device includes the cartridge.
