Abstract

This invention relates to a wireless charging electronic cigarette case and an electronic cigarette device. The electronic cigarette case comprises a case body to accommodate at least one electronic cigarette, a wireless charging transmitter disposed in the case body, and a first rechargeable battery disposed in the case body to supply power for the wireless charging transmitter. The wireless charging transmitter comprises a transmitting unit to transmit electromagnetic signals, a display unit electrically connected with the first rechargeable battery to test, measure and display quantity of electricity of the first rechargeable battery, and a first circuit processing module electrically connected with the transmitting unit, the display unit and the first rechargeable battery. An electronic cigarette case of the present invention has advantages of convenient use and providing functions of displaying quantity of electricity of rechargeable batteries of the electronic cigarette case and charging multiple electronic cigarettes simultaneously.

Claims
