Claim:
1. A cylindrical connector configured to connect a first section to a second section of an e-vaping device, comprising: a major body with a proximal end and a distal end, the major body defining a longitudinal opening through the connector from the proximal end through the distal end; and a flange having a first external circumferential surface and being located between the proximal end and the distal end, the first external circumferential surface defining a notch, the distal end of the major body being configured to attach to the second section of the e-vaping device to define an air path into the opening, the air path originating at the notch such that air passes through the notch into the opening near the distal end of the major body and then passing through the proximal end of the opening while the e-vaping device is in operational use.
