Abstract

One or more examples relate to an atomizing core, an atomizer and an electronic atomization device. The atomizing core includes: a substrate, having an atomization surface and being configured to buffer and conduct a liquid; a heating element, comprising a heating portion attached to the substrate, the heating portion being capable of generating heat to atomize the liquid on the atomization surface to form smoke; and a protective layer, provided on the atomization surface and covering the heating portion, and smoke being capable of overflowing from the protective layer.

Claims (24)
