The base 40 is provided at the second end of the housing 10, closing the second end. The electrode conductor assembly 30 is inserted into the base 40 and is in contact with the heating plate 24 of the atomizing assembly 20 for conducting electricity. The electrode conductor assembly 30 is electrically connected with the heating sheet in a direct contact manner, and does not need to be connected in a welding or thread manner or other auxiliary parts, so that the number of structural parts is reduced, and the assembly process is simplified.
Specifically, the housing 10 is a cylindrical shell, and the second end of the housing is open, so that the atomizing assembly 20 can be conveniently assembled therein and then closed by being matched with the base 40. An air flow channel 101 extending along the length direction of the housing 10 and a reservoir 102 located at the periphery of the air flow channel 101 and isolated from the air flow channel are formed in the housing 10.
