Abstract: An e-vaping device includes wireless communications circuitry and processing circuitry coupled to the wireless communications circuitry The processing circuitry is configured to receive authorization information via wireless communications circuitry, the authorization information indicating whether the e-vaping device is authorized to activate a docked removable cartridge, and conditionally activate the docked removable cartridge based on the authorization information.

Abstract: An e-vaping device includes a heating base coupled to provide power for the e-vaping device, a flexible seal, and a two-piece rigid airway tube coupled to the heating base by the flexible seal, the two-piece rigid airway tube forming an airpath providing an inhalable dispersion. The e-vaping device also includes a heating assembly housed within the two-piece rigid airway tube. The heating assembly includes a wick in fluid communication with a tank holding a pre-vapor formulation, and a heating element configured to heat the pre-vapor formulation in the wick to generate the inhalable dispersion.
