Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a processor, a heating element, and a power supply. The heating element is electrically coupled to the processor. The power supply is electrically coupled to the processor and the heating element. The processor is configured to calculate a resistance value RL of the heating element before the heating element is powered on, determine whether the resistance value RL of the heating element is within a predetermined range, and determine whether a temperature control mode is selected when the resistance value RL of the heating element is within the predetermined range. The processor is configured to determine whether the heating element is adapted to the temperature control mode when the temperature control mode is selected, and control the heating element to work in the temperature control mode when the heating element is adapted to the temperature control mode. A related temperature control method is also provided.
