Solution Approach 1:

The heating assembly is divided into multiple independent heating zones (first heating zone, second heating zone, third heating zone) corresponding to different liquid storage cavities. Each heating zone can be controlled independently to provide different heating powers, enabling differential atomization of various components in the flavored liquid based on their volatilization characteristics.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the heating assembly are assigned different heating powers and temperatures according to the specific requirements of the liquid storage cavities they correspond to. This local differentiation allows optimal atomization conditions for each component, improving overall atomization effect consistency while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
