1. An electronic smoking device comprising:
a battery portion including an electric power supply; and
an atomizer/liquid reservoir portion having a mouthpiece in an end, the atomizer/liquid reservoir portion including:
a liquid reservoir adapted for accommodating a liquid; and
an atomizer arranged at a first end face of the liquid reservoir and operable when connected to the power supply to atomize the liquid for creating an aerosol, wherein the atomizer includes a mesh having a plurality of openings defining a plurality of respective passages from an inside of the liquid reservoir to the exterior of the liquid reservoir, the plurality of openings adapted for providing the aerosol to the mouthpiece, wherein the plurality of respective openings are sized to prevent a liquid fluid flow across through the plurality of passages from the inside of the liquid reservoir to the exterior of the liquid reservoir, and wherein the plurality of openings are sized to allow for the aerosol to pass through the plurality of passages.
