Description

Electronic cigarette heater and electronic cigarette dual-purpose electronic cigarette with electronic cigarette heater and electronic cigarette cream and tobacco leaf

Technical Field

The invention relates to an electronic cigarette, in particular to a plurality of electronic cigarette heaters, and an electronic cigarette paste and a tobacco leaf electronic cigarette with the electronic cigarette heaters.

Background

It is well known that smoking is harmful to the health of the smoker. The active component in cigarette is mainly nicotine. During smoking, nicotine is inhaled into the alveoli and is rapidly absorbed by the smoker, along with nicotine aerosols generated upon combustion of the cigarette. Once nicotine is absorbed into the smoker's blood, the nicotine then exerts its effect on the nerve endings of the smoker's central nervous system, causing the smoker to relax and enjoy a drunken sensation similar to that produced by stimulants.

The traditional electronic cigarette uses an atomizer to atomize electronic cigarette liquid to generate electronic smoke, but the electronic cigarette liquid is easy to leak when being filled with liquid to cause pollution. As an alternative to e-liquid, e-cigarette smoke may also be produced by e-cigarette smoking of e-cigarette smoke and tobacco leaves. However, since the two substances have different heating mechanisms and different heating temperatures, it is generally difficult to combine the two substances, and therefore two different electronic cigarettes need to be designed according to the two substances. For some users who want to use the electronic cigarette cream and the tobacco leaves, in order to avoid the high cost of having two electronic cigarettes, it is necessary to develop a dual-purpose electronic cigarette which can use the electronic cigarette cream and the tobacco leaves.

Accordingly, there remains a need in the art to address the foregoing deficiencies and inadequacies.
