Abstract

A heating assembly for an electronic vaporization device having an aerosol-generation substrate is disclosed. The heating assembly comprises a first substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other, and a second substrate, comprising a third surface and a fourth surface arranged opposite to each other. The second surface and the third surface are arranged opposite to each other to form a gap having a capillary effect and a gradually changing height. An edge of the first substrate is provided with a liquid inlet formed thereon or by the edge of the first substrate with another component. The gap communicates the plurality of second micropores and the liquid inlet. The second substrate comprises a plurality of second micropores configured to guide the aerosol-generation substrate from the gap to the fourth surface.
