Abstract

An atomizer includes: an airflow channel for delivering aerosol; and two atomization cores provided in the airflow channel, each atomization core of the two atomization cores having an atomization surface, the atomization surfaces of the two atomization cores being provided oppositely. The atomization surfaces of the atomization cores are not perpendicular to a central axis of the atomizer.
