Abstract

An electronic cigarette includes a sleeve and a cigarette holder cover received in the sleeve, wherein, the sleeve defines at least one inhaling hole at a side surface of an end of the sleeve near the cigarette holder cover, and the cigarette holder cover comprises a cap and a main body extending from a bottom surface of the cap; the main body defines a first groove at an outer surface thereof, the first groove is aligned with the inhaling hole of the sleeve to cooperatively form a channel configured for flowing of smoke, and the channel is configured to guide smoke in the electronic cigarette to reach the inhaling hole and inhaled by a user at a joint of the first groove and the inhaling hole.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic cigarette, comprising a sleeve and a cigarette holder cover received in the sleeve,

wherein the sleeve defines at least one inhaling hole at a side surface of an end of the sleeve near the cigarette holder cover, and the cigarette holder cover comprises a cap and a main body extending from a bottom surface of the cap; the main body defines a first groove at an outer surface thereof, the first groove is aligned with the inhaling hole of the sleeve to cooperatively form a channel configured for flowing of smoke, and the channel is configured to guide smoke in the electronic cigarette to reach the inhaling hole and inhaled by a user at a joint of the first groove and the inhaling hole;

wherein the main body further defines at least one second groove at a side of the first groove opposite to the cap, and the second groove corresponds to and communicates with the first groove; and

wherein the number of the second grooves is four, and the second grooves are spaced from each other.

2. The electronic cigarette of claim 1 , wherein the first groove is a circular groove defined at an outer surface of the main body.
