To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an electronic cigarette are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure.

As shown in FIGS. 1-5 , an electronic cigarette comprises an atomization assembly A and a battery assembly B. The atomization assembly A is disposed on the battery assembly B.

The atomization assembly A comprises an e-liquid tank 1 ; a seal plug 2 ; a seal collar 3 ; a base 4 ; a plurality of first magnets 5 ; a metal casing 6 ; an atomizer 7 ; a seal cover 8 ; an O-ring 9 ; a cylinder 10 ; a spring 11 ; a first seal ring 12 ; a funnel 13 .

The seal collar 3 is sheathed on the base 4 ; the base 4 comprises a hollow rod and the seal plug 2 is disposed on one end of the hollow rod; the e-liquid tank 1 is disposed on the base 4 ; the base 4 comprises a plurality of bottom recesses 41 , and the plurality of first magnets 5 is disposed in the plurality of bottom recesses 41 , respectively; the metal casing 6 encompasses the base 4 ; the metal casing 6 comprises a through hole and the base 4 comprises a through hole, hole 42 , and the atomizer 7 passes through the metal casing 6 and the base 4 via the through hole of the metal casing 6 and the through hole 42 and extends into the e-liquid tank 1 ; the O-ring 9 is sheathed on the seal cover 8 ; the spring 11 and the first seal ring 12 sequentially sleeve the funnel 13 in that order, and the seal cover 8 is disposed on the funnel 13 ; the funnel 13 is disposed in the cylinder 10 ; and the cylinder 10 is directly connected to the base 4 .

The atomizer 7 is disposed in the through hole of the metal casing 6 and the through hole 42 of the base 4 . Thus, when the atomizer 7 breaks down, it is easy to pull out for repair or replacement. Press the funnel 13 , the e-liquid inlet of the atomizer 7 is opened, so that the e-liquid is conveniently injected into the atomizer 7 . After the injection is finished, loosen the funnel 13 , the e-liquid inlet of the atomizer 7 is automatically closed, thus preventing the leakage of the e-liquid.

The battery assembly B comprises: a second seal ring 14 ; an air column 15 ; an electrode pair 16 ; a plurality of second magnets 17 ; a seal sleeve 18 ; a pneumatic switch 19 ; a press plate 20 ; a battery 21 ; a control panel 22 ; a support 23 ; a housing 24 ; and a button 25 .

The second seal ring 14 is sheathed on the air column 15 ; the air column 15 , the electrode pair 16 , and the plurality of second magnets 17 are disposed on the support 23 ; the seal sleeve 18 is sheathed on the pneumatic switch 19 ; the pneumatic switch 19 is fixed on the control panel 22 ; positive and negative electrodes of the control panel 22 are connected to positive and negative electrodes of the battery 21 , respectively; the control panel 22 and the battery 21 are fixed on the support 23 via the press plate 20 ; the support 23 is disposed in the housing 24 ; the housing 24 comprises a recess and the button 25 is disposed in the recess.

The atomization assembly A is connected to the battery assembly B through the attraction of the plurality of first magnets 5 and the plurality of second magnets 17 . The base 4 comprises a first air inlet 43 receiving the air column 15 and a second air inlet 44 disposed on the side wall of the base 4 . During the inhaling, the pneumatic switch 19 is triggered to work. The air column 15 blocks the air inlet 43 of the base base 4 and the air enters the atomizer 7 via the second air inlet 44 on the side wall, thus preventing the condensed e-liquid from flowing into the battery assembly B.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
