Electronic cigarette and electronic cigarette device
View Patent ↗This invention discloses an electronic cigarette and an electronic cigarette device, the electronic cigarette includes a cartridge and a power unit, the cartridge defines atomizing chambers therein, the power unit includes a power supply therein, the atomizing chambers are mutually parallel to each other, the electronic cigarette further comprises a controller connecting the power supply and the atomizing chambers to control the atomizing chambers to work. The electronic cigarette and the electronic cigarette device of the invention have multiple atomizing chambers parallel to each other, and the controller which connects the power supply and the atomizing chambers to control the atomizing chambers to work, thereby achieving big and thick smoke for good flavor. On the other hand, the atomizing chambers accommodate different types of smoke oils, this makes the electronic cigarette to generate smoke with multiple mixed flavors, thus, the users can change the flavors of smoke as they like.
