Abstract (en)

An electronic cigarette includes an atomizing body and an atomizing core disposed inside the atomizing body to absorb and atomize e-liquid. The atomizing body includes a first e-liquid chamber, a second e-liquid chamber, and an e-liquid delivery section. The e-liquid delivery section is disposed between the first e-liquid chamber and the second e-liquid chamber. The atomizing core is disposed within the first e-liquid chamber to absorb and atomize the e-liquid stored in the first e-liquid chamber. The e-liquid delivery section includes a sealing component movable between a first position and a second position. The first position is where the sealing component seals the e-liquid delivery section and thus isolates the first e-liquid chamber and the second e-liquid chamber. The second position is where the sealing component is disconnected from the e-liquid delivery section, allowing the first e-liquid chamber and the second e-liquid chamber to communicate with each other.
