1. A vaporizer assembly for an e-vaping device, the vaporizer assembly comprising:
a heater coil structure;
a set of two electrical lead structures coupled to the heater coil structure; and
a non-conductive connector structure connected to each of the two electrical lead structures, such that the two electrical lead structures are coupled together independently of the heater coil structure,
wherein the vaporizer assembly is configured to contact a dispensing interface structure through the heater coil structure, such that the vaporizer assembly is configured to heat pre-vapor formulation drawn from a reservoir by the dispensing interface structure,
wherein the two electrical lead structures are coupled to the heater coil structure such that two electrical lead structures contact the heater coil structure at different planes that are orthogonal to respective longitudinal axes of the two electrical lead structures,
wherein the dispensing interface structure defines a 3-D surface,
wherein the 3-D surface at least partially defines an interior space within the dispensing interface structure, and
wherein at least one of the two electrical lead structures extend into the interior space.
