Generally, a conventional atomizing device includes an atomizing core module and a liquid storage container. The atomizing core module is designed to be integrated with the liquid storage container. The atomizing device is a closed type, an open type or a disposable type, etc. When liquid in the conventional atomizing device is exhausted, the liquid storage container and the atomizing core module need discarding together, and then the liquid storage container and the atomizing core module can be replaced, consequently, an extra cost for a replacement is caused. Because the liquid storage container and the atomizing core module are usually in a connection state, the liquid is easy to be accumulated in the atomizing core module, and the liquid easily leaks from a suction element of the conventional atomizing device, in that case, a waste of the liquid is caused, or a usage feeling of the conventional atomizing device is affected.
Thus, it is necessary to provide an innovative atomizing device capable of controlling a connection or a separation between a liquid storage container and an atomizing core module, so that the liquid storage container and the atomizing core module are able to be separated independently, and an excessive liquid accumulation in the atomizing core module is avoided.
