Abstract

The present application provides an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette includes: a body of the electronic cigarette, a suction end, a liquid storage, an atomizing assembly, and a battery rod assembly. The liquid storage is arranged on the body of the electronic cigarette at an end away from the suction end; the atomizing assembly is disposed between the battery rod assembly and the liquid storage, and two ends of the atomizing assembly are respectively provided with a first connection section and a second connection section which have different connecting structures; the atomizing assembly is connected to the battery rod assembly via the first connection section, and the atomizing assembly is connected to the liquid storage via the second connection section. When the electronic cigarette subjected an external screwing force along one direction, only one of the battery rod assembly and the liquid storage can be screwed out.
