Abstract: An e-cigarette provides enables selective disbursement of multiple liquid solutions having different flavors into an atomizing chamber for vaporization with a single atomizer. A cartridge containing the liquid solutions segregates the various flavored liquid solutions into multiple compartments through a rotatable barrier. Each compartment is in communication with a cartridge opening and a chamber opening. A rotatable plate attaches to the rotatable barrier. The rotatable plate includes a plate opening and a plate plug. The plate plug intervenes between the cartridge opening and the chamber opening of a first compartment to restrict passage of a liquid solution from the first compartment. Simultaneously, the plate opening enables passage of a different liquid solution through the cartridge opening and the chamber opening from a second compartment. Thus, the rotatable plate regulates passage of the desired liquid solution from a compartment to an atomizer for vaporizing the desired flavor of liquid solution.
