One end of theelectric heat wire 211 passes through the corresponding wire-insertinghole 223 and wire-cross groove 225, extends back between the outer surface of the atomizingcup 22 and thefirst electrode 13, and is tightly fixed in and electrically connected with thefirst electrode 13 by means of the atomizingcup 22 being tightly engaged in thefirst electrode 13 by interference fit. The other end of theelectric heat wire 211 passes through the other wire-insertinghole 223 and extends between thesecond electrode 14 and insulatingring 15 so as to electrically connect with thesecond electrode 14 by means of the insulatingring 15 being engaged in thesecond electrode 14 by interference fit. Therefore, both ends of theelectric heat wire 221 are respectively electrically connected with thefirst electrode 13 andsecond electrode 14 by such gripping means instead of soldering means, which facilitates manufacturing and assembling themouthpiece part 90. Furthermore, heat generated from theatomizer 21 is transmitted from the center throughhole 224 to thepower source part 91 for heat dissipation. The atomizingcup 22 is fitted in the inhaling shell 1 in such way that the atomizingcup 22 is fixed in the cylindrical chamber of thefirst electrode 13 and thefirst electrode 13 is inserted in the inhaling shell 1. The atomizingcup 22 has a configuration and size adapted to the cylindrical chamber of thefirst electrode 13, and is made from heat-stable material such as silica gel by an integrated molding process. The atomizingcup 22 is substantially shaped like a cylinder which has a little bigger diameter than that of the cylindrical chamber of thefirst electrode 13, so that the atomizingcup 22 is tightly fitted in the cylindrical chamber of thefirst electrode 13 by interference fit. Such simple structure of the atomizingcup 22 facilitates manufacturing and assembling themouthpiece 90. The heat-resisting material of the atomizingcup 22 is beneficial to retain the temperature at outer surface of the inhalingshell 11 relatively low so that it will not be felt burning hand or mouth. - The guiding
device 3 comprises a guidingplate 31 and anabsorption piece 32 overlaying each other, which is used for guiding tobacco substance from thereservoir 11 to theatomizing cup 22 for vaporization without fluid leakage.

Therefore, the guidingdevice 3 tightly seals tobacco substance in thereservoir 11. In an illustrational embodiment, both the guidingplate 31 and theabsorption piece 32 substantially have a circle shape. Furthermore, both the guidingplate 31 and theabsorption piece 32 may have a cut-out edge according to cross-section of the open end of thereservoir 11. - The guiding
plate 31 defines through guiding hole therein for guiding liquid tobacco substance from thereservoir 11 to theabsorption piece 32. In one embodiment, the guiding plate defines amain guiding hole 311 in center of the circle shape thereof, and radially defines a plurality of secondary guiding holes 312. Theabsorption piece 32 may be made from such materials with adsorbability and heat-resistance which can absorb and store liquid like a sponge, and has relatively good temperature resistance to resist heat from theatomizer 21, such as refractory wool, glass fiber, or heavy canva. Therefore, the liquid tobacco substance from thereservoir 11 flows through the main and secondary guiding holes 311, 312 and is well absorbed, spread and stored in theabsorptions piece 32. Theabsorption piece 32 has one face abutting against the guidingplate 31 and the other face against the open end of the atomizingcup 22, so that the liquid tobacco substance stored in theabsorption piece 32 can be vaporized by theatomizer 21 in theatomizing cup 22.Such guiding device 3 facilitates manufacturing and assembling themouthpiece part 90, well guides tobacco substance from thereservoir 11 to theatomizing device 2 for vaporization, and well prevents tobacco substance being leaked out. - Referring to
