In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly further comprises a wire rope, a silicone seal, and a limit cover; the wire rope is wrapped around the ceramic heating element to absorb the smoke material; the ceramic heating element is disposed in the silicone seal; the silicone seal is fixed in the limit cover; and the limit cover is in threaded connection to the conducting inserter.

In a class of this embodiment, the atomization assembly further comprises a first seal ring, an insulation ring, and a first joint; wherein the first seal ring is disposed on the top end of the limit cover; the insulation ring is disposed on a bottom end of the limit cover; and the first joint is disposed in the insulation ring.

Also provided is an electronic cigarette, comprising the aforesaid atomization assembly and a battery assembly; the components of the atomization assembly excluding a mouthpiece are disposed in a housing of the battery assembly; the battery assembly comprises a Bluetooth module communicating with a mobile phone Bluetooth.

In a class of this embodiment, when the Bluetooth module matches the mobile phone Bluetooth, a number of times of inhaling is set by a mobile phone; when the number of times of inhaling exceeds a preset value, the battery assembly outputs no power.

In a class of this embodiment, the battery assembly further comprises a control board, a battery cell and a power button; wherein an output end of the battery is soldered on an input end of the control panel; the power button is disposed on the control panel to power on or off a circuit of the control panel.

In a class of this embodiment, the Bluetooth module is disposed on the control panel; pressing the power button, and the circuit of the control panel is power on; and the Bluetooth module starts to work.

In a class of this embodiment, the connector of the atomization assembly is attracted by a magnet of the battery assembly.

The following advantages are associated with the electronic cigarette of the disclosure:

1. The smoke material tank is transparent and comprises graduations, which is easy for the user to observe the consumption of the smoke material and prevent the heating element from burning out.

2. The battery assembly comprises a Bluetooth module communicating with a mobile phone Bluetooth, and the number of times of inhaling is set by a mobile phone; when the number of times of inhaling exceeds a preset value, the battery assembly outputs no power.
