Abstract
A controlling apparatus able to warn a user as to an old or malfunctioning atomizer head applied to an electronic cigarette, with a control method. A first detecting device detects value aN of loss factor when atomizing head operates for the Nth time, a timer records N times of operating and operating duration tN. A storage stores a loss calculation formula, a preset threshold value of the accumulated total loss DN, and loss data as to previous use of current atomizer head. A processor can acquire aN, N and tN, and loss calculation formula, and the loss data to calculate the operating loss dN and the total loss DN, then store dN and DN. Total loss DN is compared with the preset threshold value, and an alarming device transmits alarm signal if DN is equal to or greater than the preset threshold value.
