Abstract

An electronic cigarette, comprising a tube body, a suction nozzle cover, an oil-absorbing cotton and a supporting tube received in the tube body, the supporting tube defines a center hole therein, the suction nozzle cover includes a cover cap and a cover body, the cover cap defines at least one smoking hole(s), the axial projection on the cover cap of the smoking hole(s) partially overlaps or is separated from the axial projection on the cover cap of the center hole of the supporting tube, which makes the smoke flowing through the center hole of the supporting tube to turn flow direction and is exhausted from the smoking hole(s) for users to imbibe. So that smoke oil particles fixed in the smoke is obstructed inside the electronic cigarette effectively, users are prevented from imbibition of smoke oil particles, smoking taste and user experience are improved accordingly.

Claims (15)

1 . An electronic cigarette, comprising: a tube body, a suction nozzle cover, an oil-absorbing cotton and a supporting tube received inside the tube body, the oil-absorbing cotton covered on an outer surface of the supporting tube, a center hole defined in the supporting tube and configured to guide smoke, wherein, the suction nozzle cover comprises a cover cap covered on the tube body and a cover body extending along a bottom surface of the cover cap and inserted into the tube body, the cover cap defines at least one smoking hole(s) therein, an axial projection on the cover cap of the smoking hole is separated from or partially overlaps with an axial projection on the cover cap of the center hole of the supporting tube, and the smoke flowing through the center hole of the supporting tube is forced to turn and is exhausted from the smoking hole for users to inhale.

2 . According to the electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein, the smoke outlet extends inwards the cover body along the cover cap, and the smoke hole is a through hole.

3 .
