Abstract
A cartridge of an e-vaping device includes a housing extending in a longitudinal direction, a reservoir in the housing, a heater in the housing, and an absorbent material at least partially surrounding the sinusoidal shaped member. The reservoir is configured to store a pre-vapor formulation. The heater has a sinusoidal shaped member translating about an elliptical shape to define a channel there through. The absorbent material is in fluid communication with the reservoir.
Claims16
A cartridge comprising:
- a housing extending in a longitudinal direction;
- a reservoir in the housing, the reservoir configured to store a pre-vapor formulation;
- a heater coil in the housing;
- a wick extending through a portion of the heater coil;
- a connector piece including,
- a base,
- an extension extending from the base, and
- a gasket portion defining a notch therein, an end of the wick extending through the notch, and the base, the extension, and the gasket portion being a single piece;
- and
- an absorbent material in contact with a portion of the wick, and
- a sheath at least partially surrounding the absorbent material and a portion of the connector piece, such that the absorbent material is between a portion of the sheath and the portion of the connector piece.
An e-vaping device comprising:
- a cartridge including,
- a first housing extending in a longitudinal direction,
- a reservoir in the first housing, the reservoir configured to store a pre-vapor formulation,
- a heater coil in the first housing,
- a wick extending through a portion of the heater coil,
- a connector piece including,
- a base,
- an extension extending from the base, and
- a gasket portion defining a notch therein, an end of the wick extending through the notch, wherein the base, and the extension, and the gasket portion are a single piece,
- an absorbent material in contact with a portion of the wick, and
- a sheath at least partially surrounding the absorbent material and a portion of the connector piece, such that the absorbent material is between a portion of the sheath and the portion of the connector piece;
- and
- a battery section connectable with the cartridge, the battery section including,
- a second housing, and
- a battery configured to electrically connect to the heater coil.
