  • Patent number: 11065405
    Abstract: An electronic cigarette includes a ceramic heating element having a current conducting heating member on and/or in a body of ceramic material which is impenetrable to the liquid; a liquid delivery member to deliver liquid from a liquid storage to the heating element; a battery; and an electric circuit for electrically connecting the heating element to the battery. The body of ceramic material is to contact or be in close proximity to the liquid delivery member, to vaporize the liquid when the ceramic heating element produces heat. The electronic cigarette further includes a cartomizer part, having the liquid storage and the liquid delivery member, and a battery holding part, having the battery, the ceramic heating element, and the electric circuit. In an assembled state, the cartomizer part and the battery holding part are assembled. In a disassembled state, the cartomizer part and the battery holding part are separated.
