니코틴 e-베이핑 장치(500)용 니코틴 카트리지(100)가 제공되며, 니코틴 카트리지(100)는 니코틴 기화전 제제(180)를 함유한 저장부(134)를 정의하는 하우징을 포함한다. 니코틴 카트리지(100)는 또한 모세관 작용에 의해 니코틴 기화전 제제(180)를 이송하도록 구성된 심지(240) 및 일체형 히터-열전대(250)를 포함한다. 일체형 히터-열전대(250)는 심지(240) 에서 니코틴 기화전 제제(180)를 가열하여 니코틴 증기를 생성하도록 구성되고, 일체형 히터-열전대(250)는 제1 합금으로 만들어진 제1 세그먼트(252,) 및 제2 합금으로 만들어진 제2 세그먼트(256)를 포함한다. A nicotine e-vaping device may include a device body configured to receive a nicotine cartridge. The nicotine cartridge includes a nicotine pre-vapor formulation, a wick, and an integral heater-thermocouple. The wick is configured to transport the nicotine pre-vapor formulation by capillary action. The integral heater-thermocouple includes a first segment made of a first alloy and a second segment made of a second alloy. The device body includes a power supply, at least one sensor, and a controller. The power supply is configured to deliver electrical energy to the integral heater-thermocouple to heat the nicotine pre-vapor formulation to generate a nicotine vapor. The at least one sensor is configured to measure a voltage difference between the first segment and the second segment of the integral heater-thermocouple during such heating. The controller is configured to adjust the electrical energy to the integral heater-thermocouple based on the measured voltage difference.
