Electronic cigarette cartridge and atomizer module, and electronic cigarette comprising the same

Abstract

An electronic cigarette, including an atomizer module and a cartridge. The cartridge includes an e-liquid storage chamber and a sealing piece. An air guide tube is disposed in the e-liquid storage chamber. The e-liquid is filled in the e-liquid storage chamber. The sealing piece seals the e-liquid in the e-liquid storage chamber. The atomizer module includes a sealing gasket, a connector, a screw seat, an insulating ring, an electrode, an atomization chamber enclosed by walls, and a heating body. The sealing gasket seals the atomization chamber. The insulating ring is disposed between the electrode and the screw seat. The heating body and the screw seat are supported by the walls enclosing the atomization chamber. Two poles of the heating body are connected to the electrode and the screw seat, respectively. The heating body is vertical to the airflow direction or parallel to the airflow direction.
