Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a shell and a mouthpiece. The external wall of the shell has an air inlet. An atomizer and a liquid-supply are in contact with each other. The air inlet, atomizer, an aerosol passage, and a mouthpiece are sequentially interconnected.
Claims16
An electronic atomization device, comprising:
- an elongated housing having a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end;
- at least one air inlet leading into the housing, and an outlet at the second end;
- a battery in the elongated housing;
- an atomizer and a liquid supply in the elongated housing, with the battery, the atomizer and the liquid supply co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the housing;
- the battery between the first end and the atomizer, and the liquid supply between the second end and the atomizer;
- the atomizer comprising a heating element, and a porous component in contact with the liquid supply;
- the heating element having a central axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing;
- and
- an air flow path through the housing from the at least one air inlet to the atomizer, wherein air passes across the heating element and flows to the outlet.
