Unlike conventional tobacco, a electronic cigarette contains fewer harmful substances and has advantage of helping quit smoking. As a result, the interest in electronic cigarette is growing, and the worldwide supply is growing rapidly. However, while these advantages exist, many accidents such as explosions and fires have also occurred due to mechanical defects or user’s carelessness. The primary cause of these accidents is the overheating, which causes explosion of batteries or cartomizer. While these problems have been presented, the use of electronic cigarette continues to increase, but research to solve the problem is insufficient. Thus, in this paper, simulation study was carried out to prevent overheating by modifying the shape and material of the carotamizer's component. The study was conducted through finite element analysis using Ansys Fluent with various situations and conditions. The total case studies presented in this paper are 48 cases, and effective alternatives were proposed to prevent explosion or fire caused by overheating.
