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, and an aerosol passage are interconnected.

Claims (35)

1. An electronic atomization device, comprising:

a housing containing liquid and having an outlet coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the device;

at least one air inlet for allowing air to flow into the housing;

a cylindrical porous body surrounding a heating wire and an atomization chamber, with the heating wire inside of the atomization chamber, and the liquid contacting the cylindrical porous body;

wherein the cylindrical porous body has a central axis co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the device; and

an air passage extends from the at least one air inlet to the outlet.

2. The device of claim 1 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a fiber material.

3. The device of claim 1 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a ceramic material.

4. The device of claim 1 further including an airflow sensor electrically connected to an electronic circuit board in the housing.

5. The device of claim 1 further including a manually operated switch electrically connected to an electronic circuit board in the housing.

6. The device of claim 1 wherein the housing is cylindrical.

7. The device of claim 1 wherein the atomization chamber is cylindrical.

8. The device of claim 1 with the housing having a first section attached to a second section, and with the liquid in the second section.

9. The device of claim 1 with the cylindrical porous body, and a gas vent leading into the outlet co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the device, and with the outlet in a mouthpiece of the device.

10. An electronic atomization device, comprising:

a housing having a liquid-supply;

at least one air inlet for allowing air to flow into the housing;

a cylindrical porous body around a heating wire inside of an atomization chamber, with liquid from the liquid-supply contacting the cylindrical porous body for moving liquid from the liquid-supply to the heating wire; and

an air passage extending from the at least one air inlet through the atomization chamber and through a gas vent, with the cylindrical porous body, the atomization chamber and the gas vent co-axial with a longitudinal axis of the housing.

11. The device of claim 10 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a fiber material.

12. The device of claim 10 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a ceramic material.

13. The device of claim 10 further including an airflow sensor electrically connected to an electronic circuit board in the housing.

14. The device of claim 10 further including a manually operated switch electrically connected to an electronic circuit board in the housing.

15. The device of claim 10 wherein the housing is cylindrical.

16. The device of claim 10 wherein the atomization chamber is cylindrical.

17. An electronic atomization device, comprising:

a refillable bottle for holding a liquid;

a cylindrical porous body surrounding a heating wire and an atomization chamber, with the heating wire inside of the atomization chamber, and the liquid from the refillable bottle contacting the cylindrical porous body;

a gas vent co-axial with the atomization chamber; and

an air passage extending through the atomization chamber and the gas vent to a mouthpiece, with the air passage parallel to a longitudinal axis of the refillable bottle.

18. The device of claim 17 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a fiber material.

19. The device of claim 17 with the cylindrical porous body comprising a ceramic material.

20. The device of claim 17 further including an airflow sensor electrically connected to an electronic circuit board.

21. The device of claim 17 further including a manually operated switch electrically connected to an electronic circuit board.

22. The device of claim 17 wherein the atomization chamber is cylindrical.
