Sealed cartridge for an aerosol delivery device and related assembly method

A method for assembling a cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, the method comprising:

• coupling a base to a flow director such that the flow director and the base define an electronics compartment;
• positioning an atomizer within an outer body;
• coupling the outer body to the flow director such that the outer body and the flow director define a reservoir compartment;
• wrapping a reservoir substrate configured to store an aerosol precursor composition at least partially about the flow director;
• and
• positioning the reservoir substrate within the reservoir compartment;
• wherein wrapping the reservoir substrate at least partially about the flow director comprises forming a channel between the flow director and the reservoir substrate at a cutout defined in the flow director.

A cartridge for an aerosol delivery device, comprising:

• an outer body;
• an atomizer at least partially received within the outer body;
• a flow director at least partially received within the outer body;
• and
• a plurality of heating terminals coupled to the atomizer and extending at least partially though the flow director;
• wherein the flow director defines a recess, the recess defining a channel between the flow director and a reservoir substrate.
