Abstract

An electronic cigarette is provided. The electronic cigarette includes an electronic cigarette body. The electronic cigarette body includes a suction end, a liquid container for containing cigarette liquid, an atomizing assembly for atomizing the cigarette liquid and a battery rod assembly for supplying power to the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly and the battery rod assembly are inserted in the liquid container. The whole structure of the electronic cigarette is compact and the external size of the electronic cigarette is small. The user may not get scalded when the atomizing assembly works or in the case that an excessive discharging is caused due to, for example, a short circuit in the battery rod assembly; and the heat can be rapidly dissipated through the heat absorption of the cigarette liquid in the liquid container in case of the excessive discharging.
