Electronic cigarette
An electronic smoking article includes a liquid supply including liquid material, a heater operable to heat the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol, a wick in communication with the liquid material and in communication with the heater such that the wick delivers the liquid material to the heater, at least one air inlet operable to deliver air to a central air passage upstream of the heater, and a mouth end insert having at least two diverging outlets.
1. An electronic vaping device comprising:
a casing extending in a longitudinal direction;
a mouth-end insert at an end of the casing, the mouth-end insert including,
a plurality of non-diverging outlets in the mouth-end insert, the outlets being generally coplanar at a single, non-recessed mouth-end surface of the mouth-end insert;
at least one air inlet in communication with the mouth-end insert; and
a wrapping circumscribing the casing, and including at least one hole at the at least one air inlet, the wrapping being adhered to the casing, and the wrapping configured to be removed prior to vaping.
2. The electronic vaping device of claim 1 , wherein the casing is formed of a metal or a metal alloy.
3. The electronic vaping device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one air inlet has a width of less than about 2.0 mm and a length of less than about 1.5 mm.
4. The electronic vaping device of claim 1 , wherein the resistance-to-draw of the at least one air inlet during vaping is about 60 mm H 2 O to about 150 mm H 2 O.
5. The electronic vaping device of claim 4 , wherein the resistance-to-draw of the at least one air inlet during vaping is about 90 mm H 2 O to about 110 mm H 2 O.
