Abstract

An atomization assembly comprises an e-liquid reservoir, a porous body, and a healing element. The e-liquid reservoir comprises an e-liquid storage cavity (b) for storing e-liquid. Used for adsorbing e-liquid in the e-liquid storage cavity, the porous body comprises an e-liquid contract surface, an e-liquid atomization surface and an air inlet surface and it adsorbs the e-liquid in the e-liquid storage cavity by means of the e-liquid contact surface; the air inlet surface is for allowing gas to flow into the porous body and flow into the e-liquid storage cavity by means of the porous body; the distance between the air inlet surface and the e-liquid contact surface is smaller than the distance between the e-liquid atomization surface and the e-liquid contact surface, and at least part of the heating element is in contact with the e-liquid atomization surface so as to atomize the e-liquid on the e-liquid atomization surface.
