(54) ELECTRONIC VAPING DEVICE AND COMPONENTS THEREOF


(57) A liquid reservoir component (70) of an electronic vaping device (60) includes an outer casing (6)extending in a longitudinal direction, and an air inlet (44) and a vapor outlet (24) at least partially defining two air passages (26a, 26b). A liquid reservoir (22a, 22b) is in the outer casing and the air passages extend along an outer periphery of the liquid reservoir. A respective susceptor (14a, 14b) is adjacent each air passage, and a respective wick (28c, 28d) is in communication with the liquid reservoir and in thermal communication with each susceptor such that each susceptor is operable to heat the liquid material to a temperature to vaporize the liquid material. The liquid reservoir component is configured to connect with a power supply component (77) such that an induction source is operable to generate an inductive field to heat each susceptor when powered by the power source (1).
