The e-liquid transmission portion 211 only covers a part of the leaked liquid buffer structure 122. The capillary force of the porous substrate 21 is greater than the capillary force of the leaked liquid buffer structure 122, and when the heating element 22 heats and vaporizes the liquid of the porous substrate 21, the liquid received by the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 may reflux to the porous substrate 21 and is heated and vaporized.

When the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 decreases, the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4 is less than the air pressure in the vaporization cavity 125, the air pressure difference between the liquid storage tank 4 and the vaporization cavity 125 enables the liquid in the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 to reflux to the porous substrate 21 in contact with the leaked liquid buffer structure through capillary action, and the porous substrate 21 refluxes the liquid to the liquid storage tank 4.

The e-liquid leaked from the e-liquid transmission portion 211 can flow to the capillary hole 1225 connected to the e-liquid transmission portion 211, the leaked e-liquid is collected by the capillary hole 1225, the e-liquid can flow to the second capillary groove 1224 along the capillary hole 1225 provided on the first sub-body 1231 and the second sub-body 1232, and the leaked e-liquid is collected by the capillary hole 1225 and the second capillary groove 1224, to prevent the leaked e-liquid from leaking out from the air inlet hole 126. When the temperature decreases, the vaporized e-liquid in the vaporization cavity 125 may form e-liquid through cooling and flow to the foundation base 121, and the e-liquid is collected through the second capillary groove 1224. Meanwhile, the volume of each bubble in the e-liquid in the liquid storage tank 4 may shrink to decrease the air pressure in the liquid storage tank 4. Since there is an air pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the liquid storage tank 4, the e-liquid collected and stored in the capillary hole 1225 and the second capillary groove 1224 flows, along the capillary hole 1225, to the e-liquid transmission portion 211 connected to the capillary hole 1225 in a direction away from the second capillary groove 1224 through capillary action. The liquid absorbing capability of the e-liquid transmission portion 211 is greater than the liquid absorbing capabilities of the capillary hole 1225 and the second capillary groove 1224, so that the e-liquid transmission portion 211 can absorb the e-liquid and effectively utilize the collected e-liquid.
In another optional embodiment, the leaked liquid buffer structure 122 includes a first capillary groove 1223 and a soft porous material. The soft porous material is filled in the first capillary groove 1223, and the liquid absorbing capabilities of the first capillary groove 1223 and the soft porous material are less than the liquid absorbing capability of the porous substrate 21. The condensed liquid collecting structure 14 and the vent channel 15 are in communication with the soft porous material and/or the first capillary groove 1223, liquid leaked from the condensed liquid collecting structure 14 and the vent channel 15 is collected by the first capillary groove 1223 and/or the soft porous material, and the liquid then refluxes to the porous substrate 21 in contact with the first capillary groove 1223 and/or the soft porous material.
