The
electronic cigarette comprises a shell, an atomizer and a main
control unit, one end of the shell is provided with an opening, the shell is provided with a mounting base, the atomizer is fixed to the upper portion of the mounting base, part of the atomizer extends out of the opening, the main
control unit is detachably mounted at the end, away from the atomizer, of the shell, and an air inlet is formed in one side of the shell; the mounting base is provided with an air inlet hole and an air
inlet channel communicated with the atomizer, the atomizer is provided with an
oil storage cavity, an atomization module is fixedly mounted in the
oil storage cavity, and a first drainage channel extends downwards from the end, away from the atomizer, of the air
inlet channel of the mounting base in the direction of the main
control unit; the end, close to the atomization module, of the main control unit is provided with a second drainage channel communicated with the first drainage channel, an
airflow sensor is arranged in the second drainage channel, the air inlet hole is formed between the
airflow sensor and the air
inlet channel, the length of the
air channel can be shortened, and therefore the
airflow sensor can rapidly detect the airflow change of the channel to start the
electronic cigarette. And other parts are not arranged in the drainage channel, so that the suction resistance is small, and a better suction effect is achieved.
