The present invention relates to an electronic cigarette case, includes a case body, a charging device disposed in the case body for charging electronic cigarettes. The charging device includes a charging base, a rechargeable battery, and a control circuit board integrated with a circuit processing unit. The charging base has an electrode support where first and second electrode elements, and a trigger element spaced apart from the second electrode element are all disposed on the electrode support. The second electrode element is flexibly deformable when one of the electronic cigarettes is inserted into the case body to create a charging circuit. The circuit processing unit automatically controls the rechargeable battery for charging the electronic cigarette being inserted until it is full of power, whereby the electronic cigarette case is readily to be assembled and to sue, and has a reliable electrical connection with an outer power source.
