Electronic vaping device with pre-heater

An electronic vaping device comprising:

• a heating element configured to convert a portion of a liquid into a vapor by elevating a temperature of the liquid, wherein the liquid comprises at least a first chemical constituent to be included in the vapor;
• an airflow passage through which air flows adjacent to the heating element as a result of a user inhaling through a mouthpiece, wherein the air flows through the airflow passage to entrain the vapor and transport the vapor away from the heating element and toward the mouthpiece;
• a pre-heater arranged to pre-heat the air to a pre-heated temperature as the air is being drawn toward a location where the air is to be introduced to the vapor, wherein the pre-heated temperature is greater than an ambient temperature of the air that is introduced to the pre-heater;
• and
• a controller that independently controls the heating element and the pre-heater.
