At least one first heater is operable upon at least one portion of the at least one first wick to at least partially volatilize the pre-vapor formulation and form a vapor. A support plate is operable to support the at least one first heater and at least partially support the at least one first wick, the support plate being operable to form an electrical connection between the at least one first heater and a power supply.
