Abstract

An atomizer includes a liquid storage assembly and an atomizing assembly. A liquid storage cavity is provided in the liquid storage assembly. The liquid storage assembly is provided with a mounting hole. The mounting hole is in communication with the liquid storage cavity. An atomizing cavity is provided in the atomizing assembly. The atomizing assembly is provided with a liquid inlet hole communicating with the atomizing cavity, The atomizing assembly is slidably disposed in the mounting hole along an axial direction of the mounting hole. When the atomizing assembly slides to a first state, an inner wall of the mounting hole shields the liquid inlet hole such that the liquid inlet hole and the liquid storage cavity are staggered. When the atomizing assembly slides to a second state, the liquid inlet hole communicates the liquid storage cavity and the atomizing cavity. Also provided is an electronic cigarette using the atomizer.
