An oil cupis provided in the shell, and a first atomization assemblyand a second atomization assemblythat are independent of each other are provided in the oil cup. A first air outlet portof the first atomization assemblyis in communication with the first air inlet portof the nozzle assembly, and a second air outlet portof the second atomization assemblyis in communication with the second air inlet portof the nozzle assembly. In some embodiments, the first atomization assemblyis used as a main atomization assembly, and the second atomization assemblyis used as a flavor auxiliary atomization assembly, such as auxiliary sweetness, auxiliary acidity, auxiliary ice, etc. The gas flow of the first air outlet portof the first atomization assemblyflowing into the first air inlet portof the nozzle assemblyis set to a, and the gas flow of the second air outlet portof the second atomization assemblyflowing into the second air inlet portof the nozzle assemblyis set to b, then a>b.

In some embodiments, referring to, the first air outlet portof the first atomization assemblyis coaxially arranged with the first air inlet portof the nozzle assembly, and the second air outlet portof the second atomization assemblyis non-coaxially arranged with the second air inlet portof the nozzle assembly. On the premise of ensuring smooth flow of the primary aerosols generated by the primary atomizable substrate, the disturbance to the auxiliary aerosols generated by the auxiliary atomizable substrate is increased, so that the auxiliary aerosols can be uniformly mixed with the primary aerosols when flowing into the mixing chamberof the nozzle assembly.

In some embodiments, a power supply assemblyis further provided in the shell, and the power supply assemblyis located at the bottom of the shell. In addition, in some embodiments, the first atomization assemblycomprises a first reservoir cottonand a first atomization assembly. The center of the first reservoir cottonis provided with a first atomization channel, and the first atomization assemblyis located at the bottom of the first atomization channeland electrically connected to the power supply assembly. The top of the first atomization channelforms the first air outlet port. Similarly, in some embodiments, the second atomization assemblycomprises a second reservoir cottonand a second atomization assembly. The center of the second reservoir cottonis provided with a second atomization channel, and the second atomization assemblyis located at the bottom of the second atomization channeland electrically connected to the power supply assembly. The top of the second atomization channelforms the second air outlet port.

In order to ensure more thorough and uniform mixing of the two aerosols flowing into the mixing chamberfrom the first air inlet portand the second air inlet port, the spoiler structureis arranged in the mixing chamberand the installation chamberin communication with the mixing chamber. In some embodiments, the spoiler structuremay be a spoiler plug, and/or a spoiler rib, and/or a spoiler plate.

Specifically, the term “and/or” in this application should be understood as follows:

The term “and/or” located between the first body and the second body comprises any of the following meanings: (1) only the first body, (2) only the second body, and (3) both the first body and the second body. The term “and/or” located between the last two bodies in a list of three or more bodies refers to comprising at least one body in a list of any particular combination of bodies in the list. For example, “A, B, and/or C” has the same meaning as “A and/or B and/or C”, comprising the following combinations of A, B, and C: (1) only A, (2) only B, (3) only C, (4) A and B without C, (5) A and C without B, (6) B and C without A, and (7) A and B and C.

In some embodiments, referring toto, the spoiler structurecomprises the spoiler plug. The interior of the nozzle bodyfurther has an installation chamber, which is in communication with the mixing chamberand forms a communicating port. The interior of the installation chamberis provided with the spoiler plug. The spoiler plughas a flow guiding surface, which forms a flow guide path from the second air inlet portto the communicating port.

In some embodiments, the spoiler plugmay be made of a silicone material. Referring toand, the head of the spoiler plugis tightly fitted in the installation chamberin an interference fit manner, the tail of the spoiler plugis provided with two supporting legs, and the supporting legs abut against the nozzle body, and the flow guiding surfaceis provided between the two supporting legs.

It should be noted that the aerosols generated by atomization of the atomizable substrate flowing in from the second air inlet portis first impacted with the lower portionof the smooth inclined surface, and is then guided to the higher portionof the smooth inclined surface. The higher portioncorresponds to the communicating port, so that the aerosols generated by atomization of the atomizable substrate flowing in from the second air inlet portflows into the mixing chamberfrom the communicating portand is mixed with the aerosols generated by atomization of the atomizable substrate flowing in from the first air inlet port.

Specifically, the first direction X and the second direction Y may be perpendicular or non-perpendicular to each other, both of which fall within the protection scope of this application.

In some embodiments, the spoiler structurecomprises a plurality of spoiler plates. The spoiler platesare located on the inner wall of the mixing chamber, and a flow guide gap is provided between the spoiler platesand the inner wall of the mixing chamber.

In the above embodiments, the spoiler plug, the spoiler rib, and the spoiler platecan all disturb the gas flowing into the mixing chamberfrom the second air inlet port, so that the two kinds of aerosols can be mixed more thoroughly and evenly, thereby further improving the user's mouthfeel, and avoiding the two kinds of aerosols from diverging towards one side of the suction portrespectively. It should be noted that the spoiler structuremay also comprise other forms of structures, such as a small rotating fan blade or the like.
