## Abstract

An electronic cigarette comprises an atomizer and further comprises a connector as well as a charger which is electrically connected to the atomizer though the connector; the charger is manual chargers for providing power to the atomizer though the connector. The electronic cigarette in the present invention can be charged by the manual charger which is convenient to use.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic cigarette, comprising an atomizer, wherein, it further comprising a connector, as well as a charger being electrically connected to the atomizer though the connector; the charger is a manual charger for providing power to the atomizer though the connector.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic cigarette of claim 1, wherein, a power generation device is defined inside the charger; the power generation device comprising a manual lever part, a transmission system and a generator; the transmission system being connected to the generator and the manual lever respectively;
and the motion of the manual lever part driving the transmission system to rotate, which further making the rotor of the generator rotate, finally transforming the mechanical energy to electrical energy.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic cigarette of claim 1, the connector comprising a cigar pipe and a connecting wire in external connection to the cigar pipe.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electronic cigarette of claim 3, wherein, a circuit board and a power module is defined inside the charger; the power module is connected to the generator and the circuit board respectively, the power module is used to store the electrical energy generated by the generator; the circuit board is also connected to the connecting wire, and the circuit board as well as the connector is used to transmit the electrical energy stored in the power module to the atomizer.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)
