An aerosol delivery device having a detachable power source is provided. A control body may be coupleable with a cartridge to form an aerosol delivery device. The cartridge may contain an aerosol precursor composition and be equipped with a heating element configured to activate and vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition. The control body may comprise a housing and a power source detachably coupled to an outer surface of the housing. A control component may be contained within the housing and configured to operate in an active mode in which the control body is coupled with the cartridge. The control component in the active mode may be configured to direct power from the power source to the heating element to activate and vaporize components of the aerosol precursor composition.

In a method of manufacturing a cartridge of an electronic vaping device, wherein the cartridge includes a pre-vapor formulation storage element, an electrical resistor is physically manipulated to change a resistance of the electrical resistor from a first resistance value to a second resistance value, the second resistance value indicative of a pre-vapor formulation substrate contained in the pre-vapor formulation storage element. The electrical resistor is then mounted to a portion of the cartridge.
