E-vaping section with u-shaped wick, and e-vaping device with u-shaped wick

An e-vaping device, comprising:

• 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 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;
• and
• a support plate 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, the support plate being near a downstream end of the reservoir relative to a normal direction of airflow through the e-vaping device during use, wherein a major surface of the support plate is positioned to be transverse to the normal direction of the airflow.
