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.

Claims (25)

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising:

a housing having a longitudinal axis, an inlet and an outlet;

a liquid supply in the housing;

an air flow channel in the housing connecting the inlet to the outlet; and

an atomizer assembly in the housing between the inlet and the outlet, including:

a porous body projecting into the liquid supply; and

a heating wire in the atomizer having a central axis oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 further including a battery, a sensor and an electronic circuit board within the housing, with the circuit board electrically connected to the battery, the sensor and the heating wire.

3. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 further including an atomization cavity within the atomizer.

4. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 with the outlet within a mouthpiece that is screwed onto the housing.

an air flow channel through the housing connecting the inlet to the outlet, with part of the air flow channel extending alongside of the liquid supply; and

an atomizer in the housing between the inlet and the outlet, the atomizer including:

a porous body extending into the liquid supply;

a heating wire in the atomizer having a central axis oriented substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing; and

a battery, a sensor and an electronic circuit board within the housing, with the circuit board electrically connected to the battery, the sensor and the heating wire.

8. An electronic cigarette, comprising:

a housing having an inlet and an outlet ;

a liquid supply, a battery, and an electronic circuit board in the housing;

an air flow channel in the housing between the inlet and the outlet; and

an atomizer in the housing including: a porous body extending into the liquid supply; a heating wire having a central axis generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the housing; and with the circuit board electrically connected to the battery and the heating wire.
