Abstract:
A cartomizer of an electronic vaping device includes a heater circuit which is located adjacent an air passage thereof. The heater circuit includes an electrically resistive heater in electrical communication with a secondary coil. A wick extends across the air passage. The wick is configured to draw pre-vapor formulation from a reservoir toward the heater. The heater is configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation and form a vapor. The cartomizer is connectable to a power supply component which includes a power source in electrical communication with a primary coil. The power supply component is configured to induce sufficient voltage in the secondary coil of the heater circuit such that the secondary coil is configured to heat the heater and vaporize the pre-vapor formulation when the primary coil is powered by the power source.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing a vapor from an electronic vaping device, comprising:\n wicking a portion of a pre-vapor formulation from a reservoir to a location adjacent an inlet portion of an air passageway and in proximity to a heater circuit including a heater and a secondary coil, the secondary coil positioned in proximity to a primary coil of a power supply; generating a signal indicative of a puff by communicating a draw upon the electronic vaping device; vaporizing at least some of said wicked portion of said pre-vapor formulation by applying an oscillating power cycle to the primary coil responsively to the generated signal so as to inductively generate a voltage in the secondary coil.
