2. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the cartridge body defines a smoke channel, the reservoir chamber surrounds the smoke channel.

3. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the cartridge comprises an resilient cover, the resilient cover comprises a fixing part and a moving part, the fixing part is fixed on the cartridge body, and the moving part covers the opening resiliently.

4. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 3 , wherein the cartridge body comprises a tube for separating the reservoir chamber from the smoke channel, the resilient cover is substantially annular-shaped, the inner periphery of the resilient cover is fixed on a free end of the tube, and the outer periphery of the resilient cover extends laterally from the tube to or adjacent to the inner wall of the reservoir.

5. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the cartridge body comprises a suction nozzle portion with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions formed on the outer surface thereof, and the plurality of anti-slip protrusions is spaced from each other.

6. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning slot includes a rotation section extending along a circumferential direction of the fixing member, the rotation section is adapted to slidably engage with the at least one latching protrusion of the cartridge, enabling the cartridge being capable of rotating relative to the fixing member along an axis of the atomizer assembly.

7. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 2 , wherein the base defines a reservoir room corresponding to the reservoir chamber of the cartridge and an air flowing channel for air flowing through, the atomizing device comprises a first liquid suction member and a heating coil, the first liquid suction member comprises a first portion located within the air flowing channel and a second portion located within the reservoir room, and the heating coil is wound around the first portion.

8. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 7 , wherein the base comprises a bottom wall and an air flowing pipe standing on a top surface of the bottom wall, the air flowing pipe defines the air flowing channel, and the first liquid suction member is mounted upon the air flowing pipe.

9. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 8 , wherein the atomizing device further comprises the at least one second liquid suction member, the at least one second liquid suction member is disposed upon the first liquid suction member, and the cross-section of the first liquid suction member is larger in size than that of the at least one second liquid suction member.

10. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 2 , wherein the sealing member comprises a second sealing portion for sealing an inlet of the smoke channel, the atomizer further comprises a smoke outlet tube adapted to pierce through the second sealing portion and to extend into the smoke channel.

11. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 7 , wherein the piercing device comprises at least one piercing member located above the reservoir room.

12. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 11 , wherein the at least one piercing member comprises an internal surface facing the central axis of the tubular body and an external surface which is opposite to the internal surface, the internal surface and the external surface intersect on the top end with an acute angle, and the internal surface inclines towards the axis while the external surface inclines conversely.

13. The atomizer assembly as described in claim 7 , wherein the piercing device comprising a tubular body surrounding the reservoir room, and the at least one piercing member is disposed an edge of a top end of the tubular body.

14.
