## Abstract

An electronic cigarette adopting organic cotton includes a liquid storage component and an atomizing device, the atomizing device includes a hollow spiral heating wire, a liquid guiding member inserted in the heating wire, the liquid guiding member is made of non-fiberglass organic cotton materials; the atomizing device further includes a smog conduit inserted in the liquid storage component for supporting the liquid storage component and serving as a channel for the smog, the smog conduit comprises an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, one inserted into another to position the liquid guiding member therebetween, and the liquid guiding member has its opposite ends respectively to be protruded out of an outer sidewall of the smog conduit and firmly abut against an inner sidewall of the liquid storage component. This kind of electronic cigarettes is harmless to the human body and has stable and reliable inner structure.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic cigarette adopting organic cotton, comprising a tubular liquid storage component for storing liquid smoke, an atomizing device for atomizing the liquid smoke in the liquid storage component into smog, the atomizing device comprises a hollow spiral heating wire, a liquid guiding member inserted in the heating wire to support the heating wire and absorb and reserve the liquid smoke for the heating wire to atomize it, wherein, the liquid guiding member is made of non-fiberglass organic cotton materials; the atomizing device further comprises a smog conduit inserted in the liquid storage component for supporting the liquid storage component and serving as a channel for the smog, the smog conduit comprises an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, one inserted into another to position the liquid guiding member therebetween and provide a space for the heating wire to work, and the liquid guiding member has its opposite ends respectively to be protruded out of an outer sidewall of the smog conduit and firmly abut against an inner sidewall of the liquid storage component; the atomizing device is further configured with an atomizing seat disposed at an inner wall of the electronic cigarette for supporting and positioning the smog conduit and a substrate for supporting the atomizing seat.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1, wherein, the inner sleeve is a part of the atomizing seat, the inner sleeve is a cylinder with its one end opened and another end terminated by a bottom wall thereof, the atomizing seat is further configured with an inserting post axially outwardly extended from the bottom wall of the inner sleeve; the substrate is configured with a positioning post therein for insertedly engaging with the inserting post.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 2, wherein, the inserting post defines a first through hole coaxially extended therethrough, the inner sleeve defines a second through hole therein axially extended therethrough and communicated with the first through hole, the inner sleeve defines a first locking slot at its one end which is far away from the inserting post to mount the liquid guiding member; the first locking slot is an opened slot radially extended through a sidewall of the inner sleeve and including a notch at an end portion of the inner sleeve.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 2, wherein, the inner sleeve defines perforations axially extended through its bottom wall at an edge thereof which is located at an outer side of the inserting post for penetration of the heating wire.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 2, wherein, the substrate is cup-shaped, and comprises a sidewall, a bottom wall and an inner chamber encircled by its sidewall and bottom wall, the bottom wall of the substrate defines a vent hole axially extended therethrough.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 5, wherein, the positioning post is a cylindrical component axially upwardly extended from the bottom wall of the substrate, and the positioning post is communicated with the vent hole.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 5, wherein, the bottom wall of the substrate further defines perforations axially extended therethrough at an outside of the positioning post.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 5, wherein, the sidewall of the substrate is further configured with expanding rings at its bottom for tightly engaging with the an inner wall of the electronic cigarette by expansion, the substrate is tightly positioned to the inner wall of the electronic cigarette by expansion through the sidewall of the substrate and the expanding rings.

### Claim 9 (depends on 5)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 5, wherein, the liquid storage component has its one end to be inserted into and tightly engaged by expansion in the inner chamber of the substrate, correspondingly, the liquid storage component has its end insertedly engaged with the substrate to be configured with an inserting portion and a restraining step.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic cigarette as described in claim 1, wherein, the atomizing seat adopts ceramic materials, and the substrate adopts plastic or metal materials.
