Description

[0001] The invention relates to a detachable tobacco combustor.

[0002] A typical tobacco combustor is ignited by an external fire source or by its own heating wires. The former ignition mode requires the user to carry the fire source, which brings about inconvenience. The latter ignition mode often results in incomplete combustion, which causes material waste and environmental pollution. In addition, the incomplete combustion of materials leads to the difficulty for cleaning the combustor.

[0003] In view of the above-described problems, it is one objective of the invention to provide a detachable tobacco combustor.

[0004] To achieve the above objective, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, there is provided a detachable tobacco combustor comprising a cigarette holder assembly; a combustor assembly; a battery assembly; a voltage generator; and a control assembly, the control assembly comprising a plastic holder. The cigarette holder assembly is disposed at a front end of the combustor assembly and is connected to the combustor assembly via screw threads. The combustor assembly is connected to the voltage generator via the plastic holder. The voltage generator and the control assembly are fixed on the plastic holder. The battery assembly is connected to the voltage generator and the control assembly through the plastic holder.
