a
2
CA 3038938 2019-04-02

lower end of the mounting groove, and an insulating coil enclosing the
electrode.
[0009] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the
present
invention, in which the liquid-guiding medium is a non-woven fabric.
[0010] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the

disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad.
[0011] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the
present
invention, in which a glass sealant silicone is disposed at where the upper
end of
the screw member is in contact with the glass liquid pipe.
[0012] The electronic cigarette according to at least one aspect of the
present
invention, in which a first sealant is disposed at where the connecting rod is

that because the connecting rod is made of ceramic material, and the screw
member connecting the connecting rod and the mouthpiece connector is also made

of ceramic material, contaminations to e-liquid from metal materials can be
3
CA 3038938 2019-04-02

prevented, and thereby keeping e-liquid pure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0015] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present
invention or the technical solutions, certain example embodiments of the
present
invention will be further described below with the accompanying drawings and
examples. The drawings in the following description are only a part of the
example
embodiments of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can
also
obtain other drawings based on these drawings without additional efforts.
[0016] Fig.1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an electronic cigarette
according
to an embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
[0017] In order to emphasize the purpose, technical solution, and benefits of
at
least some example embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments
illustrated below will be described clear and completely with the technical
solution
adopted. It would be obvious that the described embodiments are only part, not
all,
4
CA 3038938 2019-04-02

,
of the possible embodiments under the present invention.
[0018] An example embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 1 and
includes a mouthpiece 1, a mouthpiece connector 2, a glass liquid pipe 3, a
connecting rod 4, and a vaporizing element 5; the vaporizing element 5
includes a
heating body 51, and a liquid-guiding medium 52 covering an outer side of the
heating body 51; the connecting rod 4 is passed through the glass liquid pipe
3, a
mounting groove 41 is disposed at a lower end of the connecting rod 4, and an
upper end of the connecting rod 4 is screwed with the mouthpiece connector 2;
the
connecting rod 4 is made of ceramic and is hollow inside; an inner wall of the
mounting groove 41 has a plurality of liquid-guiding holes 42 formed thereon
that
are capable of guiding e-liquid to the liquid guiding medium 52; the
mouthpiece 1
and the mouthpiece connector 2 are screwed together. By guiding the e-liquid
through the liquid-guiding holes 42 to the liquid-guiding medium 52, and
finally
guiding the e-liquid to the heating body 51 by the liquid-guiding medium 52,
contacts between the e-liquid and other structures can be avoided, thereby
preventing contamination and ensuring the taste of e-liquid.
[0019] As shown in Fig. 1, the heating element of the heating body 51 is a
heating
wire 511, and a heating wire silicone pad 53 is disposed at a lower end of the

liquid-guiding medium 52 and the heating wire 511, in which the heating wire
511
5
CA 3038938 2019-04-02

and the liquid-guiding medium 52 are fixed together.
[0020] As shown in Fig. 1, a screw member 54 is disposed underneath the
heating
wire silicone pad 53, and the heating wire silicone pad 53 is fixed by the
screw
member 54.
[0021] As shown in Fig. 1, the heating body 51 further includes an electrode
512
disposed at a lower end of the mounting groove 41, and an insulating coil 513
enclosing the electrode. While the electrode 512 is electrified, the heating
wire 511
will heat up and thereby vaporizing e-liquid.
[0022] As shown in Fig. 1, the liquid-guiding medium 52 is a non-woven fabric
having a number of micropores, and easy to replace. The liquid-guiding medium
52 does not contaminate the e-liquid.
[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, a heat-resisting insulating tube 55 covering the
electrode is disposed underneath the heating wire silicone pad 53, so that the

electrode can be protected therewith.
.. [0024] As shown in Fig. 1, a glass sealant silicone 56 is disposed at where
the
upper end of the screw member 54 is in contact with the glass liquid pipe 3,
so as
to prevent liquid leakage.
[0025] As shown in Fig. 1, a first sealant 43 is disposed at where the
connecting
rod 4 is connected with the mouthpiece connector 2 so as to prevent liquid
leakage.
6
CA 3038938 2019-04-02

[0026] As shown in Fig. 1, a second sealant 11 is disposed at where the
mouthpiece 1 is connected with the mouthpiece connector 2 in order to prevent
liquid leakage.
[0027] It is contemplated that any part of any aspect or embodiment discussed
in
this specification can be implemented or combined with any part of any other
aspect or embodiment discussed in this specification.
[0028] While the above description provides examples of the embodiments, it
will be appreciated that some features and/or functions of the described
embodiments are susceptible to modification without departing from the scope
of
the invention as defined by the appended claims. Accordingly, what has been
described above has been intended to be illustrated non-limiting.
