An aerosol flavor adjusting device for an electronic vaporization device having a vaporizer, comprises a housing and a vent tube arranged in the housing. The vent tube is configured to receive a first portion of a first aerosol from the vaporizer. The vent tube and the housing form an accommodating cavity therebetween. The accommodating cavity is configured to accommodate a flavor adjusting substrate and release a second aerosol. One or more first circulation holes are provided on a side wall of the vent tube and configured to pass at least part of the first portion of the first aerosol from the vent tube to the accommodating cavity. The first portion of the first aerosol is mixed with an effective substance of the flavor adjusting substrate in the accommodating cavity to form a first portion of the second aerosol.

An electronic cigarette and a control method thereof are provided. The electronic cigarette includes a power supply device, a control device, a tobacco heating device and an e-liquid atomizing device. The power supply device is configured to provide electric power to the control device, the tobacco heating device and the e-liquid atomizing device. The tobacco heating device and the e-liquid atomizing device have a common smoke outlet. The control device is electrically connected to each of the tobacco heating device and the e-liquid atomizing device. The control device is configured to control the tobacco in the tobacco heating device to be heated when receiving an instruction for heating the tobacco and control the e-liquid in the e-liquid atomizing device to be atomized when a condition for atomizing the e-liquid is satisfied.
