Electronic cigarette capable of switching between smoky mode and smokeless mode
By incorporating a separate e-liquid tank and button controls within the e-cigarette, different e-liquid components enable switching between smoke-producing and smokeless modes. This solves the problems of complex mode switching and lack of visual differentiation in existing technologies, providing a simple and clear user experience.

AI Technical Summary
The existing dual-flavor e-cigarettes have a complex switching mode structure and cannot visually distinguish between the smoking and non-smoking modes.
It adopts an oil cup design that is divided into two independent oil tanks on the left and right. The oil is stored in the oil storage cotton. The atomizing core component is set in the atomization channel in the oil storage cotton. The working state of the atomizing core component is controlled by a separate PCBA board controlled by a button. Different e-liquid components can be used to form smoke and smokeless modes.
It achieves simple mode switching and visually clear distinction between smoke and non-smoke modes, providing different user experiences.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic cigarette technology, and specifically to an electronic cigarette with a switching mode that allows for both smoke and no smoke. Background Technology
[0002] Existing dual-flavor e-cigarettes achieve flavor switching by switching the air intake via a toggle switch or by rotating the mouthpiece. However, current dual-flavor e-cigarettes suffer from structural complexity in their switching mechanisms; moreover, regardless of which atomizer is operating, the e-liquid is atomized into visible smoke, making it visually indistinguishable. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an electronic cigarette with a smoke-smoking and smokeless switching mode; the atomizing core can be switched, and a working mode with smoke and smokeless switching can be formed.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is:
[0005] The device includes an oil cup, a reservoir, an atomizing core assembly, and a PCBA board. The oil cup is divided into two independent oil compartments, left and right. Each oil compartment contains a reservoir. The reservoir is hollow, forming an atomization channel. An atomizing core assembly is installed within the atomization channel. The electronic cigarette has two buttons at appropriate locations. Each atomizing core assembly is connected to a button on the PCBA board. When one button is on, the PCBA board controls the other button to be off, ensuring that only one atomizing core assembly can be operational. The reservoir in one of the two oil compartments is filled with e-liquid that does not contain glycerol.
[0006] The two oil tanks are filled with e-liquid containing no glycerol in one of the oil storage cotton tanks; the other tank is filled with e-liquid containing 40% glycerol.
[0007] The electronic cigarette also includes a housing; an oil cup is disposed inside the housing; the two buttons are disposed on the main viewing surface of the housing near the bottom; the two buttons are arranged side by side on the left and right sides.
[0008] The electronic cigarette also includes a mouthpiece; the mouthpiece is attached to the top of the oil cup; the mouthpiece has a mouthpiece hole that connects to the atomization channel formed by two oil-storing cotton balls inside the oil reservoir of the oil cup.
[0009] This invention features two oil reservoirs within the oil cup; one reservoir contains e-liquid without glycerol, while the other contains e-liquid with 40% glycerol content. This allows for different operating modes—one with smoke and one without—based on the different e-liquid compositions; switching between modes is achieved by pressing a button.
[0010] The present invention provides an electronic cigarette experience that is different from the past. Attached Figure Description
[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0012] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the electronic cigarette of this utility model;
[0013] Figure 2 This is a three-dimensional view of the electronic cigarette of this utility model;

[0015] The following embodiments are descriptions of specific implementations of the present utility model. These descriptions are intended to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of this application by those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the technical solutions of the present utility model. All equivalent transformations that can be obtained from the description of the embodiments of the present utility model should be within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model includes an oil cup 1, an oil storage cotton 2, an atomizing core assembly 3, a PCBA board 4, a shell 5, and a nozzle 6.
[0017] The oil cup 1 is located inside the outer shell 5; it is divided into two independent oil chambers, left and right; an oil storage cotton 2 is provided in each oil chamber; the oil storage cotton 2 is hollow to form an atomization channel 21; an atomization core assembly 3 is provided in the atomization channel 21.
[0018] The nozzle 6 is connected to the top of the oil cup 1; a nozzle hole is opened on the nozzle 6 and it is connected to the atomization channel 21 formed by the two oil storage cotton 2 in the oil tank of the oil cup 1.
[0019] The electronic cigarette has two buttons 7 positioned at appropriate locations; specifically, the two buttons 7 are located near the bottom of the main viewing surface of the outer casing 5; the two buttons 7 are arranged side by side. Each atomizing coil assembly 3 is connected to a button 7; when one button 7 is in the on state, the PCBA board 4 controls the other button 7 to be in the off state, ensuring that only one atomizing coil assembly 3 can be in the working state. The control method of selectively activating the two buttons 7 does not require detailed explanation by those skilled in the art; it can be implemented without creative effort based on the foregoing description.
[0020] One of the two e-liquid reservoirs contains e-liquid without glycerol (VG), while the other contains e-liquid with 40% glycerol. Glycerol (VG) produces vapor when heated, forming smoke. Propylene glycol (PG), however, does not produce vapor when heated, resulting in no smoke.
[0021] In the above structure, one e-liquid tank uses a normal VG:PG ratio of 4:6, while the other tank uses e-liquid with zero VG. When the smoke tank is active, the smokeless tank is closed. Normal inhalation results in visible smoke upon exhalation. When the smokeless tank is active, the smoke tank is closed. Normal inhalation results in no visible smoke upon exhalation.
[0022] The structure of the remaining parts of this electronic cigarette is shown in the figure. Its connection and fit are the same as those of existing electronic cigarettes; they will not be described in detail here.
