例如,电子雾化装置100可以在一端具有控制主体,该控制主体具备包含一个或多个可重复使用的部件(例如,诸如充电电池和/或可充电的超级电容器的蓄电池、以及用于控制该制品的操作的各种电子器件)的壳体,并且在另一端具有用于抽吸的外部主体或外壳。

外壳10,可以包含一个或多个可重复使用的部件;外壳10具有沿纵向方向相对的近端110和远端120;在使用中,近端110是靠近用户抽吸的一端;远端120是远离用户的一端;
在一些示例中,外壳10的全部或仅部分可由诸如不锈钢、铝之类的金属或合金形成,或者其它适合的材料包括各种塑料(例如,聚碳酸酯)、金属电镀塑料(metal-plating over plastic)、陶瓷等等。
在一些实施例中,外壳10是由数个部件共同形成的。以及在一些实施例中,外壳10在远端120处是敞开的。根据图3至图7所示,外壳10包括:

参见图3至图7所示,装配后端盖20至少部分从远端120伸入外壳10的第二壳体12内;以及,端盖20上布置有进气口21,以用于在装配后供外部空气进入电子雾化装置100。

根据图19至图20所示的实施例中,气流传感器15a用于感测流过支架60a和/或电子雾化装置100a的气流变化。以及在该实施例中,气流传感器15a具有沿电子雾化装置100a的纵向方向相背离的第一感测面151a和第二感测面152a。第一感测面151a朝向近端110a布置,并与穿过支架60a的气流是连通 的;气流传感器15a根据抽吸气流引起在第一感测面151a和第二感测面152a的压力差大于预设阈值时,确定用户的抽吸动作,并生成高电平信号。第一感测面151a和第二感测面152a未被柔性的密封元件16a包裹,从而裸露以用于进行压力感测。
根据图19至图20所示,支架60a还界定有换气通道670a,以用于提供空气进入至储液腔112a的流动路径,从而在当储液腔112a内液体基质逐渐消耗使得储液腔112a内的负压较低时,空气能经由换气通道670a进入至储液腔112a内以缓解或消除储液腔112a的负压。具体地,换气通道670a包括:

在一些实施例中,通气孔671a具有大约0.3~2.0mm的直径;以及,通气槽672a具有大约0.3~2.0mm的宽度和/或深度。当储液腔112a内的负压超过预定阈值时,如图19至图20中箭头R3所示,空气依次经由通气孔671a和通气槽672a后进入储液腔112a,从而消除或缓解储液腔112a内的负压。为使通气孔671a的入口不被外壳10a的第一壳体11a遮挡或堵塞,以保持进气的通畅;通气孔671a在支架60a的外侧表面的入口处被布置成具有横截面积扩大的端口6711a;该扩大的端口6711a的横截面积被显著地扩大,例如具有大约3~5mm的宽度或高度,从而对于保持通气孔671a的通畅进气是有利的。
根据图21所示,气流传感器15a内集成或布置有发光源,例如图15中所示,并被配置为能响应用户的抽吸动作而进行发光;根据图21中箭头R4所示,发光源发出的光通过支架60a朝向近端110a和/或储液腔112a传导,而后再从第一壳体11a射出。从而在使用中当用户抽吸出气口113a时,还能过第一壳体11a靠近近端110a的部位能查看发光源发出的光,以确定电子雾化装置100a是否响应抽吸动作和/或是否根据抽吸动作产生气溶胶等。
或者在又一些变化的实施例中,发光源是单独的LED灯;发光源不是被集成于气流传感器15a的。相应地,发光源被布置或容纳于支架60a的第三容纳腔631a内,并用于响应用户的抽吸动作进而发光。
