1. An electronic cigarette, comprising:
- a battery assembly having a cylindrical battery and an operating indicator;
an atomizer assembly in an elongated cylindrical housing, with the battery assembly electrically connected to the atomizer assembly, and with the cylindrical battery coaxial with the atomizer assembly;
a liquid storage component in the housing;
the atomizer assembly including a porous component set on a frame having a run-through hole;
a heating wire coil electrically connected to the battery;
an air flow path in the atomizer assembly parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing, with the air flow path through the run-through hole to an outlet, with the heating wire coil wound on the porous component and in the air flow path and with the heating wire coil oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and
the porous component in contact with the liquid storage component.

Abstract
An electronic cigarette includes a battery assembly and an atomizer assembly within a housing with the battery assembly electrically connected to the atomizer assembly. The housing has one or more air inlets. A liquid storage component is in contact with a porous component of the atomizer assembly, with the porous component having a run-through hole. A heating wire is in an air flow path through the run-through hole.
