The connector is configured to couple a first section and a second section of an e-vaping device. The connector includes a flange with a first end and a second end, a shaft with sidewalls extending from the first end of the flange, and a cylindrical base extending from the second end of the flange. The connector defines a longitudinal opening extending from the shaft through the cylindrical base, the sidewalls and the flange collectively defining at least one first channel in fluid communication with the longitudinal opening. The e-vaping device includes the connector.
