Abstract
The method includes first defining a reservoir within at least one first housing, the reservoir having a first part and a second part and being configured to contain a pre-vapor formulation, second defining at least one channel that is configured to communicate the pre-vapor formulation from the first part to the second part, third defining an airflow path within the at least one first housing, and first configuring a heater that is fluid permeable to heat and at least partially vaporize the pre-vapor formulation, the heater being on an end of the second part, the heater having a first surface that faces the first part, a first portion of the first surface being in direct communication with a second portion of the airflow path.
