1. A non-nicotine e-vaping section, comprising:
a heater in heating proximity to a wick, the heater and the wick being connected to a first surface of a first wall that partially defines a chamber; and
a reservoir configured to contain a non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation, the non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation being devoid of nicotine and including at least one non-nicotine compound,
the first wall at least partially defining at least one first channel that traverses through the first surface, the at least one first channel being configured to communicate the non-nicotine pre-vapor formulation from the reservoir to the wick, and
the first wall defining an entrenched section that at least partially contains the wick, the first wall at least partially defining one or more air passages that traverse through the first surface, the one or more air passages having a first length that is longer than a second length of the at least one first channel.
