FIGs. 1-3 , theatomizer 100 includes aliquid storage assembly 10, anatomizing assembly 20, abase assembly 30 and amouthpiece assembly 40. The atomizingassembly 20 is arranged on thebase assembly 30, thebase assembly 30 is installed at one end of theliquid storage assembly 10, and themouthpiece assembly 40 is installed at the opposite end of theliquid storage assembly 10 relative to thebase assembly 30. In use, theliquid storage assembly 10 supplies the aerosol-forming substrate to the atomizingassembly 20, the atomizingassembly 20 heats the aerosol-forming substrate under the electric driving of the battery device, the aerosol-forming substrate is heated to generate smoke, the smoke flows out through themouthpiece assembly 40, and the user can inhale the atomized smoke through themouthpiece assembly 40. - The
base assembly 30 is detachably connected to one end of theliquid storage assembly 10. The atomizingassembly 20 is arranged between thebase assembly 30 and theliquid storage assembly 10. Theliquid storage assembly 10 includes anelastic member 14, theelastic member 14 is elastically biased between theliquid storage assembly 10 and the atomizingassembly 20. When thebase assembly 30 is detached from theliquid storage assembly 10, the atomizingassembly 20 is ejected out by theelastic member 14. - In this embodiment, the
