Figures 1 to 4 A host of a switchable cigarette cartridge includes a shell 11, a mounting seat 2 and a switching member 4. Specifically, the shell 11 is in a rectangular shape as a whole, and the shell 11 is arranged to be hollow. The hollow part inside the shell 11 is a accommodating chamber 111. A control module 12 is arranged at the lower part of the mounting chamber 21. At least two mounting seats 2 are arranged. The mounting seats 2 are slidably arranged at the upper part of the mounting chamber 21. The sliding direction of the mounting seat 2 is along the vertical direction. An installation chamber 21 for inserting a cigarette cartridge 3 is arranged at the upper part of the mounting seat 2. An electrode 8 connected to the cigarette cartridge 3 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting chamber 21. The electrode 8 is electrically connected to the control module 12 at the bottom of the shell 11, so that the cigarette cartridge 3 can be used when it is inserted into the mounting seat 2. At the same time, an opening 112 for the cigarette cartridge 3 to extend is arranged on the upper side of the shell 11. The cross-section of the opening 112 is waist-shaped when viewed from the vertical direction. The position and number of the openings 112 are the same as the position and number of the mounting seat 2 Correspondingly, a switching member 4 is provided in the accommodating cavity 111. The switching member 4 is used to connect with multiple mounting seats 2. The switching member 4 is used to make the cigarette cartridge 3 on one of the mounting seats 2 extend out of the shell 11. When the cigarette cartridge 3 on the mounting seat 2 extends out of the shell 11, the upper end surface of the mounting seat 2 is arranged parallel to the upper side surface of the shell 11. Therefore, when the user needs to switch the flavor of the electronic atomization, the mounting seat 2 of the cigarette cartridge 3 that has extended out of the shell 11 is moved downward through the switching member 4, and the mounting seat 2 of the cigarette cartridge 3 of the desired flavor is moved upward, so that the cigarette cartridge 3 of the desired flavor is extended from the opening 112 of the shell 11 for use by the user. With this design, it is only necessary to insert the cigarette cartridge 3 into the mounting cavity 21 of the mounting seat 2, that is, when in use, the mainstream cigarette cartridge 3 shape on the market can be used, and there is no need to additionally set a corresponding cigarette cartridge 3 shape, which helps to improve the versatility of the electronic atomization device.
