         7 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the encapsulated additive is configured to release the additive in response to one or more of heat and moisture. 
     
     
         8 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the at least one shell layer and the inner core includes the additive. 
     
     
         9 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the encapsulated additive includes a plurality of capsules, the at least one shell layer of some of the plurality of capsules having different thicknesses from the at least one shell layer of others of the plurality of capsules so as to release the additives at different times. 
     
     
         10 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the encapsulated additive includes a plurality of capsules, the at least one shell layer of some of the plurality of capsules formed of different polymers than the at least one shell layer of others of the plurality of capsules so as to release the additives at different times. 
     
     
         11 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the encapsulated additive includes a plurality of capsules, the plurality of capsules releasing the additives at the same time. 
     
     
         12 . The cartridge of  claim 6 , wherein the encapsulated additive includes tobacco and at least one polymer, the polymer including at least one of microcrystalline cellulose, pectin, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and sodium alginate. 
     
     
         13 . The cartridge of  claim 4 , wherein the pre-vapor formulation excludes nicotine and the additive includes nicotine. 
     
     
         14 . A kit comprising:
 a plurality of sheets of material configured to be rolled and placed in a cartridge of an electronic vaping device, each of the plurality of sheets of material including at least one of a coating and an impregnated material.   
     
     
         15 . The kit of  claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of sheets of material comprises at least one of a polymeric film, paper, and a film of reconstituted tobacco material. 
     
     
         16 . The kit of  claim 15 , wherein the coating and the impregnated material each include at least one additive, the additive including at least one of a flavorant, a pH adjusting agent, a vapor former, tobacco material, and nicotine. 
     
     
         17 . The kit of  claim 16 , wherein at least one of the plurality of sheets of material includes the coating and the impregnated material, and the coating and the impregnated material include different additives. 
     
     
         18 . The kit of  claim 16 , wherein the additive is an encapsulated additive, the encapsulated additive configured to release the additive in response to at least one of heat and moisture, the encapsulated additive including at least one shell layer and an inner core. 
     
     
         19 . The kit of  claim 18 , wherein each of the plurality of sheets includes different additives. 
     
     
         20 . The kit of  claim 18 , wherein each of the plurality of sheets includes the same additive. 
     
     
         22 . The kit of  claim 18 , further comprising:
