The invention is related to an electronic cigarette which is equipped with a universal serial bus (USB) connector. The electronic cigarette includes a cigarette body and a connecting device. The connecting device is retractably disposed in the cigarette body so as to be hidden therein, and the connecting device includes a connector and a conductor of which a length is extendable. When not in use, the conductor is foldably retracted to be hidden within the cigarette body together with the connector, while the connecting device is in use, the connecting device is pulled away and the conductor extends to a predetermined length to electrically connect the electronic cigarette to an external electronic device or power. Because the USB connector and the conductor are disposed in the electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette is capable of being used conveniently and assembled quickly. |
