Electronic cigarette and atomizing assembly and atomizing element thereof

1. An atomizing assembly for an electronic cigarette, comprising:

a housing defining an airflow channel therein and comprising a reservoir for storing liquid;

an atomizing core connected to the housing, wherein the atomizing core comprises an atomizing element with a porous body, the porous body comprising opposing first and second sides and a sidewall that extends therebetween, the body is spaced away from the reservoir and comprises an atomizing surface on the second side and a liquid absorbing surface on the first side, the body has a first opening contained within the body and that extends through the body between the first and second sides;

the atomizing element further comprising a porous heating film formed on the atomizing surface of the second side of the porous body by vapor deposition with the film being spaced away from the first side and the reservoir the porous heating film having a second opening that is aligned with the first opening;

wherein the airflow channel extends through the first and second openings and is in fluid communication with the atomizing surface, and the reservoir is in fluid communication with the liquid absorbing surface;

wherein the porous body is provided with a plurality of micropores with a diameter of about 1 μm to about 100 μm;

wherein the diameter of the plurality of micropores on the porous body is greater than a thickness of the porous heating film.

2. The atomizing assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the atomizing core comprises a core body defining an atomizing chamber therein; the atomizing element, is received in the atomizing chamber and away from the reservoir; the core body further defines an inlet and an outlet thereon which are in fluid communication with the atomizing chamber; the outlet is in fluid communication with the airflow channel; the core body further defines a liquid absorbing hole in fluid communication with the atomizing chamber and the reservoir and being positioned in proximity to the first side of the porous body and away from the second side of the porous body, the liquid from the reservoir reaches the first side of the porous body through the liquid absorbing hole.

3. The atomizing assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the atomizing core further comprises a first sealing element received inside the atomizing chamber, the first sealing element is configured to seal a gap between an inner sidewall of the core body and the porous body, thereby isolating the porous heating film from the liquid absorbing hole.
