Abstract

A vaporizer includes: a first air inlet; a first air outlet; a first airflow channel, the first airflow channel being in communication with the first air inlet and the first air outlet; a vaporization assembly arranged in the first airflow channel; a second airflow channel, two ends of the second airflow channel separately intersecting the first airflow channel to form a first intersection and a second intersection, the first intersection being located between the first air outlet and the vaporization assembly, and the second intersection being located between the first air inlet and the vaporization assembly; and a capillary liquid absorbing structure connected to the second airflow channel. When an inhaling action occurs at the first air outlet, accumulated liquid in the first airflow channel close to the second intersection enters the second airflow channel through the second intersection so as to be absorbed by the capillary liquid absorbing structure.
