As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a first embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic cigarette 100, which is an integrated electronic cigarette including a casing 1, the casing 1 is an integrated casing and shaped as a hollow cylinder. One end of the casing 1 is provided with a mouthpiece component 4 for sucking by smoker, and the other end of the casing 1 is closed by a base cover 19 on which an intake hole and an indicator light (not marked in the Fig.) are provided. Material of the casing 1 employs any one of following materials with the required hardness: metals, plastics, wood or paper materials.
The electronic cigarette 100 also includes: an atomizer 21 for transferring the tobacco-liquid into smoke by atomizing, a duct 35 for smoke flowing therethrough, a liquid-storage member 37 for storing tobacco-liquid, a liquid isolating member 31 for preventing tobacco-liquid from leaking, a storage power source 36 as well as a separate member 38 disposed between the liquid isolating member 31 and the storage power source 36, provided in the casing 1.
The mouthpiece component 4 includes a mouthpiece main cover 41 and a mouthpiece vice cover 42 used in combination with the mouthpiece main cover 41, a cooling cavity for cooling the fine tobacco-liquid particles contained in the smoke on the inner wall thereof and allowing for the heat being absorbed by the mouthpiece main cover 41 and the mouthpiece vice cover 42 as a share while the smoke flowing through the mouthpiece component 4 is formed between the mouthpiece main cover 41 and the mouthpiece vice cover 42. The mouthpiece main cover 41 is inserted into the casing 1 and fixed to the inner wall of the casing by tensionally engaging of the outer side wall thereof. The mouthpiece main cover 41 includes a cylindrical main cover body 410 formed by combination of a bottom wall and a side wall and comprising a main cover cooling cavity 413, an insertion peg 411 is formed on the bottom wall of the mouthpiece main cover 41 and axially extends outward, a vent hole 412 is provided in the middle of the insertion peg 411, axially perforating the mouthpiece main cover 41 and communicating with the center through hole of the duct 35, a locating rim 414 matching the casing 1 is formed on the top end outer wall of the mouthpiece main cover 41 and radially extends outward. The mouthpiece vice cover 42 is inserted into the main cover cooling cavity 413 of the mouthpiece main cover 41 and tensionally fixed to the side wall of the main cover cooling cavity 413. The mouthpiece vice cover 42 includes a cylindrical vice cover body 420 formed by combination of a top wall and a side wall and comprising a vice cover cooling cavity 422, a vent hole 421 is provided on the top wall of the vice cover body 420 and axially perforating to allow for venting between the inside and outside of the vice cover cooling cavity 422.
