`a heating wire wound on a part of the porous component in the path of air
`
`flowing through the run-through hole; and
`
`the porous component substantially surrounded by the liquid storage component.
`
`32. (New) An electronic cigarette, comprising:
`
`a battery assembly and an atomizer assembly within a housing with the battery
`
`assembly electrically connected to the atomizer assembly;
`
`with the housing having one or more through-air-inlets and an outlet;
`
`the atomizer assembly includes a frame having a run through hole, and a porous
`
`component between the frame and the outlet;
`
`a heating wire wound on a part of the porous component which is substantially
`
`aligned with the run-through hole; and

`
`below.

`~· Q
`
`Claim 30 is accordingly amended to replace " ... porous component is wound with
`
`heating wire in the on the side in the axial direction of the run-through hole" with "the
`
`heating wire is would on a part of the porous component that is substantially aligned
`
`with the run-through hole".
`
`New claim 31 is similar to claim 30 and includes the elements of claim 30, but
`
`written with more common English usage. New claim 32 is similar to claims 30 and 31
`
`but describes a heating wire wound on a part of the porous component substantially
`
`aligned with the run-through hole, as shown in Fig. 18 above; and with the porous
`
`component in contact with a liquid supply in the housing, rather than the removable
`
`bottle assembly of claim 30.

`
`New claims 31 and 32 are believed to be allowable for the same reason that
`
`claim 30 is indicated to be allowable at paragraph 4 of the Office Action.
`
`In view of the changes to the claims, the Application is in condition for allowance,
`
`and a Notice of Allowance is requested.
