     BACKGROUND 
     The disclosure relates to an atomization assembly and an electronic cigarette comprising the same. 
     Conventional electronic cigarettes are an integrated structure; the atomization assembly is difficult to separate from the battery assembly. In addition, the e-liquid tends to leak out upon replacing the atomizer with a new one. 
     SUMMARY 
     The disclosure provides an atomization assembly comprising an e-liquid tank, a connector, a seal ring, a spring, a first fixed ring, an atomizer, a silicone seal, a silicone plug, and a base; wherein the spring is disposed in the seal ring; the seal ring is disposed around the connector; the connector, the seal ring, and the spring are disposed in the first fixed ring; the silicone seal is disposed on the base; the base is disposed on the e-liquid tank; two ends of the first fixed ring are connected to the base and the e-liquid tank, respectively; the silicone plug is fixed on the base; and the atomizer is fixed on the first fixed ring. 
     The e-liquid tank has a volume of 4.6 mL. 
     The first fixed ring comprises an e-liquid inlet; when the atomizer is pulled out, the seal ring is rebounded to seal the e-liquid inlet. 
     The disclosure further comprises an electronic cigarette, comprising the aforesaid atomization assembly and a battery assembly. 
     The atomization assembly is disposed on the battery assembly; the battery assembly comprises a surface cover; two ends of the base are respectively provided with two fasteners; the surface cover comprises two grooves corresponding to the two fasteners so as to integrate the base and the surface cover; the atomization assembly is separated from the battery assembly by rotating the base by 90° with respect to the surface cover. 
     The battery assembly further comprises a joint, an anode spring, a silicone ring, a cathode rod, a clamp spring, a negative connector, a negative insulation ring, a second fixed ring, an airflow regulation ring, a support, a battery, a control panel, a button pad, a first face plate, a main body, a rotary button, a button, and a second face plate; the negative insulation ring is disposed in the second fixed ring; the cathode rod is disposed on the negative connector; the negative connector is disposed in the second fixed ring; the anode spring and the silicone ring are consecutively disposed around the joint, and the joint is disposed on the negative connector; the airflow regulation ring is disposed on the negative connector; the airflow regulation ring and the negative connector are disposed on the support; the surface cover is disposed on the support; the clamp spring is disposed on the joint; positive and negative terminals of the control panel are respectively connected to the joint and the cathode rod; positive and negative terminals of the battery are connected to the control panel; the battery and the control panel are disposed on the support; the button pad is disposed on the control panel; the support is disposed in the main body; the main body comprises a recess and the button is nested in the recess; the first face plate and the second face plate are respectively attached to two end faces of the main body; and the rotary button passes through a through hole of the main body and is fixed on the airflow regulation ring. 
     The atomization assembly can be separated from the battery assembly by rotating the base by 90° with respect to the surface cover. The atomization assembly comprises an elastic sealing device, which can prevent the e-liquid from flowing out of the e-liquid tank when the atomizer is pulled out. The airflow regulation ring is disposed in the battery assembly, and rotating the rotary button disposed on the upper part of the battery assembly can adjust the volume of the vapor. The battery has a capacity of 1300 mA/h, which is a large capacity compared with a conventional battery, so that the electronic cigarette has high output current and can produce large amount of vapor. The e-liquid tank  1  has a volume of 4.6 mL, which is large compared with a conventional e-liquid tank, thus extending the service life of the electronic cigarette.
