Abstract

An electronic cigarette includes an atomizing device and a power pole, the atomizing device includes a first connecting assembly, and the power pole includes a second connecting assembly. The first connecting assembly includes a pair of first electrodes and at least one lapping portion. The second connecting assembly includes a pair of second electrodes and a cavity with at least one adapting portion formed therein and a guiding surface formed adjacent to the at least one adapting portion. The at least one lapping portion is capable of inserting into the cavity from the guiding surface and rotatable in the cavity until abuts the at least one adapting portion, whereby the first electrodes are in contact with and thus electrically connected to the respective second electrodes. An atomizing device, a power pole and a charger connector are also provided.
