Abstract

An electronic cigarette is disclosed. The electronic cigarette includes a housing (1) and an atomization assembly (2) disposed in the housing (1). The electronic cigarette also includes a fixing mechanism (3) capable of fixing the atomization assembly (2), an unlocking mechanism (4) for controlling the fixing mechanism (3) to be relatively fixed to or separated from the atomization assembly (2), and an elastic mechanism (5) for ejecting the atomization assembly (2) outward when the fixing mechanism (3) is separated from the atomization assembly (2). The atomization assembly (2) can be ejected for replacement without contacting the atomization assembly (2) by hand, thereby preventing scalding and staining the hand. A top cover assembly (23) can be automatically opened only by pressing a sliding assembly (38) to replace a cartridge. The top cover assembly (23) can be reset by pushing to avoid misalignment.
