1. An additive assembly for an electronic vaping device (EVD), the additive assembly comprising:
an adsorbent material including adsorbed carbon dioxide, the adsorbent material configured to release the adsorbed carbon dioxide into a vapor based on at least a portion of the vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material, the adsorbent material further configured to generate heat based on the portion of the vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material; and
a flavorant held within a portion of the adsorbent material, the flavorant configured to be released based at least in part on absorbing the heat generated by the adsorbent material, wherein
the adsorbent material includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion,
the first portion, second portion, and third portion include at least one material of the adsorbed carbon dioxide and the flavorant,
respective outer surfaces of the first portion and the second portion at least partially define a first passage between the first portion and the second portion,
the first portion and the second portion are configured to direct at least a portion of the vapor through the first passage, and
the third portion includes a third outer surface orthogonal to the first passage such that the portion of the vapor flowing through the first passage impinges upon the third outer surface of the third portion.
