1. An electronic vaping device comprising:
- a casing extending in a longitudinal direction;
a mouth-end insert at an end of the casing;
at least one air inlet in communication with said mouth-end insert, the at least one air inlet formed in the casing, the at least one air inlet configured to establish a desired resistance-to-draw; and
a metallic plate insert on an inner surface of the casing, the metallic plate insert defining a hole therein, the hole superposed with the at least one air inlet.

Abstract
An electronic smoking article includes a liquid supply including liquid material, a heater operable to heat the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol, a wick in communication with the liquid material and in communication with the heater such that the wick delivers the liquid material to the heater, and at least one air inlet operable to establish a predetermined resistance to draw under a prescribed test of said smoking article.

9. An electronic vaping device comprising:
-
an outer tube extending in a longitudinal direction; an inner tube within the outer tube, the inner tube including a pair of opposing slots; a liquid supply including a liquid material, the liquid supply contained in an outer annulus between the outer tube and the inner tube; a coil heater located in the inner tube; a wick in communication with the liquid supply and surrounded by the coil heater such that the wick delivers the liquid material to the coil heater and the coil heater heats the liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form a vapor in the inner tube; a mouth-end insert at an end of the outer tube; at least one air inlet in communication with said mouth-end insert, the at least one air inlet formed in the outer tube, the at least one air inlet configured to establish a desired resistance-to-draw; and a metallic plate insert on an inner surface of the outer tube, the metallic plate insert defining a hole therein, the hole superposed with the at least one air inlet; and a power supply connectable to the coil heater and configured to apply a voltage across the coil heater. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
