Abstract
An infiltration detecting apparatus includes an infiltration detecting assembly and a controller. At least a part of the infiltration detecting assembly is attached or adjacent to a liquid guide, or is inserted into the liquid guide. The infiltration detecting assembly is configured to detect a related physical quantity X, and feed back the related quantity X to the controller. The controller is configured to calculate a degree of infiltration Q according to a data as to a relationship between Q and X, and compare values of Q and a first threshold value Q1. If Q<Q1, a heater is controlled not to heat. If Q≥Q1, the heater is controlled to heat. The switch shuts off or opens the electrical connection between a power module and a heater. An electronic cigarette which includes the infiltration detecting apparatus is also disclosed, together with a method of controlling an electronic cigarette.
