In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the body 51 is made from a porous material having a micro-pore structure. For example, the body 51 is made from micro-pore ceramic, micro-pore glass or expanded foam materials, etc. Liquid tobacco is conducted to the atomizing channel 513 through porous material via capillary effect. Under heating of the heater 52 to raise its temperature, the liquid tobacco is atomized as aerosols to enter the atomizing channel 513.
An outer sidewall of the body 51 includes at least an absorbing face 511. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the absorbing face 511 is a flat face. The absorbing face 511 is disposed corresponding to the liquid storing cavity 24, and faces toward the communicating hole 611. A liquid conducting hole or a plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is opened and disposed on the absorbing face 511, and extends into a wall of the body 51 from the absorbing face 511. A bottom of the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is located inside the wall of the body 51. For instance, a plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is provided and disposed, and is evenly spaced and distributed on the absorbing face 511. Furthermore, shortest conducting distances between bottoms of the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 and the atomizing channel 513 are respectively set to be equal or substantially equal to one another. The plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is used to conduct liquid tobacco in the liquid storing cavity 24 into the body 51.

In other words, the absorbing face 511 opened and disposed with the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 has a large area, i.e., a contact area for the liquid tobacco to enter the atomizing core 50 is large. Conducted liquid tobacco is facilitated to be controlled by the above mentioned structure.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, liquid tobacco in the liquid storing cavity 24 flows in sequence through the liquid outlet 242, the communicating hole 611 and the liquid conducting hole or a plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 to enter the body 51. Under heating of the heater 52 to raise its temperature, the liquid tobacco is heated and atomized into aerosols to enter the atomizing channel 513.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the body 51 is made from porous materials having a preset porosity. Porosity of a porous material is decided by pore diameters of micro pores inside the porous material and a distribution density of the micro pores. When the porosity of the porous material is designed to be smaller, performance of the body 51 to prevent liquid tobacco from leaking can therefore be enhanced. However, smaller porosity will lower a conducting velocity of liquid tobacco at the same time. Hence, in physical products, a porous material with a proper porosity is required to be selected. For liquid tobacco with a higher viscosity, the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is opened and disposed on the body 51, and a hole diameter of the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is set to be larger than an average pore diameter of micro pores inside a material of the body 51. As a result, the conducting velocity of the liquid tobacco can be raised, and the performance of the body 51 enough to prevent the liquid tobacco from leaking can also be ensured to be enhanced. As a practical solution, the average pore diameter of the micro pores inside the material of the body 51 is 10 μm˜100 μm, for example, preferably is 80 μm. The hole diameter of the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is 10 μm˜500 μm, for example, preferably is 100 μm. When the hole diameter of the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 is larger than the average pore diameter of the micro pores inside the body 51, and a viscosity of liquid tobacco is higher, the liquid tobacco can enter the liquid conducting hole or the plurality of liquid conducting holes 512 having a larger hole diameter in order to have the liquid tobacco being conducted smoothly. After the liquid tobacco is heated to raise its temperature, the viscosity of the liquid tobacco is reduced. At this moment, the liquid tobacco enters the micro pores inside the body 51 having a smaller pore diameter. Hence, an amount of conducted liquid tobacco can be effectively controlled. The liquid tobacco is finally atomized by the heater 52 into aerosols to enter the atomizing channel 513. The body 51 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is designed to have a better performance to conduct liquid tobacco into the body 41. Particularly, for tobacco liquid with a higher viscosity, the body 51 of the present invention has a better liquid conductive effect. Meanwhile, the body 51 of the present invention can achieve a better control on conducting liquid tobacco so as to avoid technical problem of having an excessively large amount of conducted liquid tobacco during a process of heating and atomizing.
A fixing trough 621 is opened and disposed at a top of the supporter 62. The body 51 is transversely installed in the fixing trough 621.

A first opening 6211 is disposed at an end of the fixing trough 621, and a second opening 6212 is disposed at another end of the fixing trough 621. The first opening 6211 is disposed corresponding to an end opening of the atomizing channel 513. The second opening 6212 is disposed corresponding to another end opening of the atomizing channel 513. The supporter 62 includes an extending wall 622 formed by extending outwards from an end of the supporter 62 having the first opening 6211. When the bottom of the supporter 62 is installed in the second installing trough 34, the extending wall 622 is engaged at a lateral wall of the second installing trough 34. Besides, a connective trough 6221 (Shown in
