Abstract

An electronic cigarette and an atomizing device of the electronic cigarette are provided. The atomizing device is assembled with a battery assembly to form an electronic cigarette. The atomizing device includes a heating member formed by a heating wire and a fixation mechanism for the heating wire. The fixation mechanism for the heating wire is a ceramic fixation mechanism. The ceramic fixation mechanism includes a ceramic base and a ceramic cap, which are made of a ceramic material or surfaces of which are ceramic material layers. The ceramic base is provided with a groove in connection with an end portion of the ceramic base. The ceramic cap is mounted on the ceramic base and covers the groove. The heating wire is mounted on the ceramic base and is located in a space enclosed by the ceramic cap and the groove.

First claim

In the claims:

1 . An atomizing device, which is assembled with a battery assembly to form an electronic cigarette, wherein the atomizing device comprises a heating member formed by a heating wire and a fixation mechanism for the heating wire;
the fixation mechanism for the heating wire is a ceramic fixation mechanism; the ceramic fixation mechanism comprises a ceramic base and a ceramic cap, which are made of a ceramic material or surfaces of which are ceramic material layers; the ceramic base is provided with a groove in connection with an end portion of the ceramic base; the ceramic cap is mounted on the ceramic base and covers the groove; and the heating wire is mounted on the ceramic base and is located in a space enclosed by the ceramic cap and the groove.

2 . The atomizing device according to claim 1 , wherein:
