Abstract

An electronic cigarette comprises an electronic cigarette body; the electronic cigarette body is provided with a smoking end ( 1 ), an oil storage assembly ( 4 ) for containing cigarette oil, an atomization assembly ( 3 ) for atomizing the cigarette oil and a battery component ( 2 ) for powering the atomization assembly ( 3 ); the oil storage assembly ( 4 ) is arranged on one end of the electronic cigarette body which is in an opposite side of the smoking end ( 1 ), since a smoke passage does not pass through the oil storage assembly ( 4 ), a user can be effectively prevented from sucking a non-atomized cigarette oil; and meanwhile, through an arrangement of a protective sleeve ( 5 ) for containing the oil storage assembly ( 4 ) on the electronic cigarette, a vibration-resistance of the oil storage assembly ( 4 ) can be enhanced, so that a risk that the oil storage bottle is easily broken is avoided.

First claim
