Abstract:
The e-vaping device includes a housing, the housing defining one or more inlets, a power source, and a cartridge. The cartridge includes a reservoir containing a pre-vapor formulation. A heater and wick arrangement is in fluid communication with the reservoir. An annular seal is in fluid communication with the one or more inlets. The annular seal defines a first air passage. A flow restrictor is held by the annular seal. The flow restrictor defines a second air passage, the second air passage being configured to provide a desired resistance-to-draw (RTD) for the e-vaping device. A combined airflow cross-sectional area of the one or more inlets is greater than an airflow cross-sectional area of the second air passage. The flow restrictor is made from a first material that is harder than a second material for the annular seal.

Claim (Index 1):
An e-vaping device, comprising:\n a housing extending in a longitudinal direction, the housing defining one or more inlets configured to allow air to be drawn into the e-vaping device; a power source located within the housing; and a cartridge on an end of the e-vaping device, at least a portion of the housing forming an outer surface of the cartridge, the cartridge including,\n a reservoir configured to contain a pre-vapor formulation, \n a heater and wick arrangement in fluid communication with the reservoir, the heater and wick arrangement being operative to volatilize the pre-vapor formulation to produce a vapor, \n an annular seal in fluid communication with the one or more inlets, the annular seal having an outer surface configured to seal with an interior surface of the housing, the annular seal defining a first air passage, \n a flow restrictor being held by the annular seal, the flow restrictor defining a second air passage, the second air passage being configured to provide a desired resistance-to-draw (RTD) for the e-vaping device, wherein a combined airflow cross-sectional area of the one or more inlets is greater than an airflow cross-sectional area of the second air passage, \n wherein the flow restrictor is made from a first material that is harder than a second material for the annular seal.
