It is about this greatly improved e-cigarette.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the material described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application, and inclusion in this section is not an admission that it is prior art.

In general, e-cigarettes use a wire coil heater to vaporize liquid nicotine or other liquid substances. When a negative pressure is formed according to the user's suction through the mouthpiece or the suction nozzle part, external air flows into the body and the liquid component liquid comes into contact with the wire coil heater to generate a mist containing vapor do.

In recent years, e-cigarettes have been in the spotlight and are a major tobacco component that can satisfy the smoking cravings. It is possible to mist liquids containing nicotine as well as liquid components including various flavorings by heating means, and it is possible to mist the smoke and odors. Due to the characteristic that it does not, it is indiscriminately overdose and is being raised as a cause of various diseases and deaths such as lung cancer or circulatory disease (larynx cancer and Burger's disease caused by vasoconstriction).

It is heated, and it is advantageous in such a way that the heated air secondarily applies heat conduction to the liquid phase through the mesh element to generate a mist.

However, the aforementioned conventional electronic cigarette has a problem in that it consumes a lot of energy required for heating the air and heating the liquid component, and there is a problem in that it is difficult to reduce or control the amount of smoking for quitting smoking.

In addition, the conventional electronic cigarette generates static electricity when it comes into contact with a user's body or an external object due to battery power for mist generation, thereby inherently causing a fire accident or damage.

On the other hand, as a well-known prior art for smoking cessation, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1461138 (registered on November 06, 2014) discloses a smoking cessation cigarette having a button-type spray nozzle.

In the non-smoking cigarette disclosed in this patent, the suction part, the nozzle part, the pumping part, and the container part are sequentially connected, and the plunger-pumping part mechanism is used to vaporize or mist the liquid of a palatable ingredient such as herb or coffee without tobacco ingredients. With this configuration, the user inhales the mist of water vapor and palatable components, which is advantageous in training to quit smoking while enjoying the smoking atmosphere.

However, the conventional electronic cigarette described above has a problem in that the technical mechanism is complicated and the amount of smoking cannot be controlled.
