1. An electronic vaping (e-vaping) device comprising:

  • a pre-vapor formulation storage element connectable to a power supply, the pre-vapor formulation storage element configured to contain a pre-vapor formulation material and including a fibrous material, the pre-vapor formulation material being absorbed in the fibrous material, the pre-vapor formulation storage element further including,an outer casing extending in a longitudinal direction,an air inlet,a vapor outlet,an inner tube within the outer casing defining a central air passage communicating with the air inlet and the vapor outlet, anda susceptor located adjacent the central air passage, the susceptor being operable to heat the pre-vapor formulation material to a temperature to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation material; and

    the power supply including,an outer casing extending in a longitudinal direction including a power source in electrical communication with an induction source, the induction source being axially spaced from the susceptor by a distance if the power supply is attached to the pre-vapor formulation storage element such that the induction source is operable to generate an inductive field to heat the susceptor if powered by the power source such that the susceptor heats the pre-vapor formulation material to a temperature to vaporize the pre-vapor formulation material.
