[0002] As the e-cigarette market continues to develop, the design and functionality of e-cigarette products are also constantly being optimized. Traditional e-cigarettes typically use fixed cartridges or complex cartridge replacement methods, which presents many inconveniences. For example, some e-cigarettes require users to manually disassemble the casing or use special tools to replace the cartridges, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to damage or contamination of the cartridges during the replacement process. Furthermore, the cartridge replacement process in traditional e-cigarettes lacks effective cushioning and positioning mechanisms, which may damage the electronic components inside the cartridge or cartridge, affecting the product's lifespan and performance.

[0003] In terms of user experience, traditional e-cigarettes have a relatively simple connection between the cigarette case and the lid, lacking sufficient securing measures. This makes the lid prone to loosening due to accidental touches or vibrations, which in turn affects the sealing of the cartridges and the stability of the electronic components. At the same time, the complicated procedures for replacing cartridges also reduce user convenience, especially when frequent cartridge replacements are required, significantly diminishing the user experience.
