     BACKGROUND 
     The disclosure relates to an atomizer. 
     The heating wire of a conventional atomizer is an integrated element and cannot be replaced. In addition, the conventional atomizer comprises a side wall provided with a plurality of air vents, and an annular ring which is rotatable with respect to the side wall. The annular ring comprises a plurality of air holes. Rotating the annular ring can make the plurality of air holes align with the plurality of air vents, thereby adjusting the airflow of the atomizer. 
     SUMMARY 
     The disclosure provides an atomizer comprising a heating wire and a plurality of fixing screws configured to fix the heating wire; when in repair or maintenance, the plurality of fixing screws is screwed out from the heating wire thereby facilitating the replacement of the heating wire. 
     The heating wire assembly further comprises a fixed seat, an insulation ring, a positive connector; the plurality of fixing screws is configured to lock a negative lead of the heating wire on the fixed base to use as a negative electrode of the heating wire; the insulating ring is installed in the fixed seat to isolate a positive lead of the heating wire thus preventing the short circuit of the fixed base; the positive connector is installed into the insulation ring for connecting the positive lead of the heating wire; the positive lead of the heating wire is locked on the positive connector by the plurality of fixing screws to use as a positive electrode of the heating wire. 
     The disclosure also provides an atomizer comprising the heating wire assembly. 
     The atomizer further comprises an airflow regulating assembly; the airflow regulating assembly comprises a rotatable ring comprising a side wall provided with a slot, and a base comprising a side wall provided with a plurality of through holes; the rotatable ring is disposed on the base; and when in use, by rotating the rotatable ring, the plurality of through holes selectively communicates with the slot thereby adjusting an airflow of the atomizer. 
     The plurality of through holes is circular and identical in size, and the slot is strip-shaped. 
     The fixed seat is disposed on a top of the base thereby preventing the falling of the rotatable ring. 
     The heating wire assembly of the atomizer comprises the heating wire and the plurality of fixing screws; when in repair or maintenance, the plurality of fixing screws is screwed out from the heating wire thereby facilitating the replacement of the heating wire. The atomizer comprises the airflow regulating assembly comprising the rotatable ring; and when in use, by rotating the rotatable ring, the plurality of through holes selectively communicates with the slot thereby adjusting the airflow of the atomizer.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     To further illustrate, embodiments detailing an atomizer are described below. It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and not to limit the disclosure. 
     The disclosure comprises a heating wire assembly and an atomizer comprising the same. 
     As shown in  FIGS.  1 - 3   , an atomizer comprises a mouthpiece  1 , ahead cover  2 , an e-liquid filling cover  3 , a seal ring  4 , a glass tube  5 , a center pillar  6 , a plurality of fixing screws  7 , a heating wire  8 , a fixed seat  9 , an insulation ring  10 , a positive connector  11 , a rotatable ring  12 , an insulating part  13 , a base  14 , an insulation ring  15 , and an electrode  16 . The mouthpiece  1  is disposed on the head cover  2 . The seal ring  4  is disposed on the bottom of the e-liquid filling cover  3  and seals the opening of the glass tube  5 . The e-liquid filling cover  3  is disposed on the top of the center pillar  6  and is connected to the head cover  2 . The head cover  2  is disposed on the e-liquid filling cover  3  and is in threaded connection to the center pillar  6 . The upper opening of the glass tube  5  is fixedly connected to the bottom of the e-liquid filling cover  3 . The rotatable ring  12  is disposed on the base  14  for the airflow regulation. The insulating part  13  is disposed on the base  14  for separating the positive and negative terminals. The negative lead of the heating wire  8  is locked on the fixed base  9  through the plurality of fixing screws  7 . The insulating ring  10  is installed in the fixed seat  9 . The positive connector  11  is installed into the insulation ring  10 . The positive lead of the heating wire  8  is locked on the positive connector  11  by the plurality of fixing screws  7 . The fixed seat  9  is disposed on the base  14 . The insulation ring  15  is disposed in the base for separating the electrode  16 . The electrode  16  passes through the insulation ring  15  and is in threaded connection to the positive connector  11 . The fixed seat  9  is disposed on the bottom of the glass tube  5  and is in threaded connection to the center pillar  6 . 
     The following advantages are associated with the atomizer of the disclosure. 
     1. The atomizer comprises the airflow regulating assembly comprising the rotatable ring. The rotatable ring comprises a side wall provided with a slot, and the base comprises a side wall provided with a plurality of through holes; the rotatable ring is disposed on the base; and when in use, by rotating the rotatable ring, the plurality of through holes selectively communicates with the slot thereby adjusting the airflow of the atomizer. 
     2. The heating wire assembly of the atomizer comprises the heating wire and the plurality of fixing screws; when in use, the plurality of fixing screws is screwed out from the heating wire thereby facilitating the replacement of the heating wire. 
     It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
