ELECTRONIC SMOKING DEVICE
An electronic smoking device ( 10 ) comprises a power supply/atomizer portion ( 12 ) and a replaceable liquid reservoir portion ( 14 ) which is coupleable with the power supply/atomizer portion ( 12 ). The liquid reservoir portion comprises a liquid reservoir ( 34 ) storing a liquid and the power supply/atomizer portion comprises a power supply ( 18 ) and an atomizer ( 26 ) adapted to atomize the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir when operated by the power supply. The power supply/atomizer portion comprises a penetrating element ( 40 ) that is configured to penetrate the liquid reservoir when the power supply/atomizer portion is coupled with the liquid reservoir portion, and a wick ( 30 ). The wick ( 30 ) is attached to the penetrating element and is configured so that a portion ( 31 ) of the wick entering the liquid reservoir when the power supply/atomizer portion is coupled with the liquid reservoir portion has a U-shape.
