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 (51)

1. An electronic atomization device, comprising:

a cylindrical refillable container for holding a liquid;

a cylindrical porous body having a cylindrical atomization chamber, a heating wire inside of the cylindrical atomization chamber, the heating wire surrounded by the cylindrical porous body;

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

an air passage extending through the atomization chamber;

an aerosol passage from the atomization chamber to the gas vent, the gas vent leading to a mouthpiece; and

the aerosol passage parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical refillable container.

2. The electronic atomization device of claim 1 further including a liquid in the container.

3. The electronic atomization device of claim 1 further including:

a housing having a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end;

a battery in the housing;

an electronic circuit board electrically connected to the battery;

the cylindrical atomization chamber co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the housing.

4. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 further including at least one air inlet for allowing air to flow into the air passage, the air passage in the housing, and an outlet in the mouthpiece.

5. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 wherein the housing is cylindrical and a central axis of the cylindrical refillable container is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

6. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 wherein the heating wire is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

7. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 wherein the cylindrical refillable container extends from the mouthpiece to the cylindrical porous body.

8. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 wherein the cylindrical porous body comprises ceramic.

9. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 wherein the cylindrical porous body comprises fiber.

10. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 further including a sensor for sensing suction on the mouthpiece, the sensor electrically connected to the electronic circuit board.

11. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 further including a manually operated switch in the housing for switching on the heating wire.

12. The electronic atomization device of claim 3 further including a display screen on the housing electrically connected to the electronic circuit board.

13. The electronic atomization device of claim 1 further including a liquid containing nicotine in the cylindrical refillable container, wherein the cylindrical porous body moves the liquid from the cylindrical refillable container towards the heating wire.

14. The electronic atomization device of claim 13 wherein air flowing from the air passage into the atomization chamber flows over the heating wire.

15. An electronic vaporizing device comprising:

a housing having a mouthpiece co-axial with a longitudinal axis of the housing;

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

a heating wire inside of a cylindrical atomization chamber of a cylindrical porous body surrounding the heating wire;

a central axis of the cylindrical porous body co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the housing;

a gas vent co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the housing and with the cylindrical atomization chamber;

an air passage extending from the at least one air inlet to the cylindrical atomization chamber;

an aerosol passage from the atomization chamber to the gas vent, the aerosol passage parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing; and

a cylindrical refillable container for holding liquid and providing liquid to the cylindrical porous body.

16. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 wherein the heating wire is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

17. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 further including a supply of liquid in the cylindrical refillable container and the cylindrical porous body moving liquid from the cylindrical refillable container towards the heating wire.

18. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 further including a battery and a sensor in the housing electrically connected to an electronic circuit board.

19. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 further including a battery and a user-operated switch in the housing electrically connected to an electronic circuit board.

20. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 wherein the cylindrical porous body comprises ceramic.

21. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 wherein the cylindrical porous body comprises fiber.

22. The electronic vaporizing device of claim 15 wherein the cylindrical refillable container is between the heating wire and the mouthpiece, the cylindrical refillable container containing a liquid and providing the liquid to the cylindrical porous body.

23. An electronic atomization device, comprising:

a housing having a longitudinal axis, a first end and a second end;

a battery in the housing and an electronic circuit board electrically connected to the battery;

a cylindrical porous body co-axial with the longitudinal axis of the housing, the cylindrical porous body having a cylindrical atomization chamber;

a heating wire inside of the cylindrical atomization chamber;

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

an air passage in the housing extending from at least one air inlet to the atomization chamber;

an aerosol passage from the atomization chamber to the gas vent, the gas vent leading to an outlet in a mouthpiece at the second end of the housing, the mouthpiece coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the housing, the aerosol passage parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing;

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

a cylindrical refillable container for holding liquid and providing liquid to the cylindrical porous body.

24. The electronic atomization device of claim 23 wherein the cylindrical porous body comprises fiber.
