Abstract

The present disclosure provides an atomizer and an electronic cigarette with the atomizer. The atomizer includes a cartridge assembly and a mouthpiece assembly; the cartridge assembly includes a liquid reservoir, an opening communicating the liquid reservoir with an external environment, and an atomization chamber communicating with the liquid reservoir; the mouthpiece assembly is inserted into the opening; the cartridge assembly includes an engaging portion located adjacent to the opening, and the mouthpiece assembly includes an inserting portion inserted into the engaging portion; the inserting portion defines a discharging hole, air discharges through the discharging hole while the inserting portion is being inserted into the engaging portion, and after the inserting portion is inserted into the engaging portion in place, the discharging hole is blocked, thus, e-liquid in the liquid reservoir can be prevented from being pushed to flow into the atomization chamber and liquid leakage can be prevented.
