The anion generator is arranged on a smoke channel on the bottom of the electronic cigarette atomizer, and a smoke flow passes through the anion generator before entering the atomizer, so as to generate a large number of anions.
An annular protrusion is arranged outwards on the lower end of the smoke guide sleeve, the two sealing cylinders extending downwards are respectively arranged on a diameter line of the annular protrusion, and the upper sealing ring is provided with the injections holes that are corresponding to the two sealing cylinders in position and are in fluid-tight fit with the two sealing cylinders.
A mounting portion is arranged on the lower end of the atomizer shell and is sleeved with a decorative ring, the decorative ring is provided with smoke through holes corresponding to the smoke inlet holes, and two mounting bayonets are arranged on the two sides of the mounting portion and are used for the connection with the battery assembly.
The atomizing cup is made of a ceramic material.
The heating wire is connected with an electrode contact plate via a lead wire, and the electrode contact plate is provided with electrode contacts.
The electronic cigarette has a flat section.
The electronic cigarette further comprises a holder cover in fit with the holder.
Since the structure above is adopted, the anion generator is arranged in the electronic cigarette of the invention, high-concentration anions enter into human body through electronic smoke when people smoke the electronic cigarette, thus contributing to the removal of harmful substances in human body and assisting smoker in resisting smoke temptation and even quitting smoking. Meanwhile, when the addition of liquid tobacco tar is required, only the holder of the electronic cigarette of the invention needs to be opened and the sealing cylinders are pulled out of the injection holes so as to inject the tobacco tar into the tobacco tar cavity, which is convenient, fast, and difficult to cause tobacco tar leakage.
