The present invention relates to a check station (1) of the electrical circuit (C) of electronic cigarettes (E) comprising: a conveying device (2, 2') for conveying parts of electronic cigarettes (E), each comprising an electrical circuit (C) along an advancement path (P); and a control assembly (3) arranged along the advancement path (P) comprising at least one head (30) provided with at least one electrical contact, and which is movable towards the conveying device (2, 2'), to contact, with the relative electrical contact, the electrical circuit (C) of the electronic cigarettes (E) conveyed by the conveying device (2, 2'). The check station (1) further comprises: a power supply assembly, which supplies the contacts of the control assembly (3) with electrical energy; and a measuring assembly (8) connected to the control unit (3), which measures a quantity of electrical energy representative of the electric resistance and/or the inductance of the electrical circuit (C). In detail, the conveying device (2, 2') comprising a plurality of movable units (21, 21'), each arranged in order to receive at least one part of the electronic cigarette (E); the movable units (21, 21') being movable along the advancement path (P) independently from each other.
