Abstract

An atomization assembly and an electronic cigarette with the atomization assembly. The atomization assembly comprises an oil guide member, a heating member wound round on the oil guide member, and a first electrically-conductive connecting member and a second electrically-conductive connecting member are being connected with two ends of the heating member respectively; the heating member includes at least one plane, and one plane in the at least one plane is attached to and wound towards an outside surface of the oil guide member with a close fit. Since the heating member is designed with at least one plane and the plane is wound towards an outer surface of the oil guide member, the contact area between the heating member and the oil guide member is increased so that the amount of atomization generated per unit time is improved, the atomization effect is improved, and user experience is enhanced.
