Original Abstract Submitted

A nicotine pod assembly for a nicotine e-vaping device may include a first section and a second section connected to the first section. The first section may define a pod outlet and be configured to hold a nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The second section may define a pod inlet and be configured to heat the nicotine pre-vapor formulation. The pod inlet is in fluidic communication with the pod outlet via a flow path. The flow path may include a first diverged portion, a second diverged portion, and a converged portion. A nicotine e-vaping device may include a device body defining a through hole configured to receive the nicotine pod assembly such that a pod inlet for the air flow is exposed when the nicotine pod assembly is seated within the through hole.
