The present disclosure provides an atomizing device and an assembling method thereof. The atomizing device includes a first body and a second body. The first body includes a first outer case and an atomizing component. The atomizing component is disposed in the first outer case. The second body is detachably connected to the first body, wherein the second body includes a second outer case, a controlling component, and a battery component. The controlling component is disposed on one side of the second outer case close to the atomizing component, wherein the controlling component is electrically connected to the atomizing component. The battery component is disposed on one side of the second outer case away from the atomizing component, wherein the battery component is electrically connected to the controlling component.

The present disclosure provides an atomizing device including an outer case and an atomizing component. The outer case has an air inlet. The atomizing component is disposed in the outer case. Wherein, the atomizing component and the outer case jointly form an air outlet, and the air outlet is located on one side of the atomizing component away from the air inlet. Wherein, a diversion channel is formed between the outer case and the atomizing component. The diversion channel surrounds the atomizing component.
