Electronic cigarette and method for manufacturing component thereof

Abstract

The present application discloses an electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette comprises a mouthpiece and a tank. The tank is coupled to the mouth piece. The tank comprises a cartridge, an atomizer, a base and an adapter. The cartridge is made of glass and comprises an air duct, an oil cup, and a plate comprising at least one hole and coupled between the air duct and the oil cup. The atomizer is coupled to the oil cup. The base is coupled to the oil cup. The adapter is coupled to the base. A method for manufacturing the aforementioned cartridge is also disclosed. The method comprises welding the air duct and the plate; welding a lower oil cup of the oil cup with the plate; and welding an upper oil cup of the oil cup with the lower oil cup.
