Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a container for storing a tobacco flavored liquid, an atomizer connected to the container to atomize the tobacco flavored liquid by an electric heating, a battery tube to power the atomizer, and an actuating film movably positioned in the battery tube to control the atomizer.
Claims18
An atomizer assembly, comprising:
- a container defining a liquid storage cavity for receiving a liquid, the liquid storage cavity comprising a liquid outlet, an outlet-defining element positioned at the liquid outlet, and an absorbent element attached to an outside end of the outlet-defining element and covering an opening of the liquid outlet for preventing the liquid received in the liquid storage cavity from flowing out of the liquid storage cavity directly;
- wherein the outlet-defining element defines a shape and a size of the opening of the liquid outlet, and
- an atomizer connected to the container to atomize liquid permeating through the absorbent element by an electric heating element,
- wherein an area of the opening of the liquid outlet on an intersecting plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the container is smaller than an area of a non liquid outlet portion of the liquid storage cavity on an intersecting plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container.

An atomizer assembly, comprising:
- a container comprising a liquid storage cavity for receiving a tobacco-flavored liquid, wherein the liquid storage cavity comprises a liquid outlet, wherein the container comprises:
- an outlet-defining element that reduces a size of an opening of the liquid outlet;
- and
- an absorbent element covering the opening of the liquid outlet;
- and
- an atomizer for atomizing the tobacco-flavored liquid, when received in the liquid storage cavity, permeating through the absorbent element,
- wherein the container is substantially elongated, and the outlet-defining element reduces an area of the opening of the liquid outlet such that an area of the opening of the liquid outlet on an intersecting plane perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the container is smaller than an area of a non liquid outlet portion of the liquid storage cavity on an intersecting plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container.
