Electronic atomization hookah

Abstract

There is provided an electronic atomization hookah comprising a) a shell comprising a shell body, a shell top portion and a shell bottom portion, where the shell body defines a shell internal cavity and comprises a first nozzle defining a first passage inside the cavity and configured to receive a smoking hose, and where the shell top portion comprises a first slot and the shell bottom portion comprises a second slot; b) a liquid supplying container, an atomizer and at least one battery arranged within the shell internal cavity, where the atomizer is in contact with the container for heating a liquid contained therein when activated such that a mist is formed as a function of the heating, and where the container comprises a first opening in communication with the first passage for allowing output of the mist therethrough; c) a hollow tube having a tube bottom extremity and a tube top extremity, where the hollow tube bottom extremity is coupled to the first slot and forms a substantially airtight seal therewith; d) a jar comprising a substantially flat base and a jar top portion configured to be demountably coupled to the second slot; e) a hookah head having a top portion and a bottom portion, where the head bottom portion is configured to be coupled to the tube top extremity and forms a substantially airtight seal therewith; and f) a main processing unit and a sensor located within the hookah head, where the main processing unit is connected to the sensor, to the at least one battery and to the atomizer, such that, when a user inhales using the smoking hose, a variation of pressure is detected by the sensor and an electrical signal is automatically transmitted by the main processing unit to the atomizer for activation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of hookahs and more specifically to an electronic atomization hookah.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A Traditional hookah (also called nargeela, argeela, narguileh, shisha, etc.) is an instrument for smoking tobacco or other herbal or organic materials in which the smoke is cooled and filtered by passing through water.[0003]A traditional hookah generally operates with the tobacco first placed in a ceramic bowl covered by a punctured aluminum foil topped by the burning charcoal to heat the tobacco by indirect heat. The smoke from the burning tobacco is drawn down from the head through the pipe stem into the water of the water bowl where it is cooled and filtered before being inhaled by the smoker through the flexible hose.[0004]The hookah has been used for centuries to smoke both plain and flavoured tobaccos, mixtures of various aromatic herbs and spices, or mixtures of both. Typically a hookah has of a...

Benefits of technology

[0012]The provided electronic atomization hookah is capable of eliminating the hazardous results of smoking tobacco, reduce time and effort to have it ready for use and eliminating the mess and cleanup after smoking. In other terms, it enables users to smoke non-tobacco substances without any fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon-monoxide, carcinogens, or offensive second hand smoke found in shisha tobacco.

Problems solved by technology

However all traditional hookahs use combustion as the method of producing smoke, thus also producing all the undesirable combustion by-products in the smoke.

Use of water to filter and cool the smoke significantly reduces many of the undesirable smoke components, but some, such as carbon monoxide, cannot be removed in this manner.

Unfortunately until sufficient smoke has been collected in the interior of the hookah the smoker experiences only the effort of sucking air through the hookah.

In a large hookah with a large interior collection chamber, this may require several minutes of effort.

And unfortunately the collected smoke can become “stale” and unpleasant in taste if not inhaled soon enough, resulting in reduced enjoyment of the smoking experience.

Furthermore, the dependence upon human lung power also limits the depth at which the lowermost extremity of the stem can be immersed, thus limiting the amount of water through which the smoke can be passed to be filtered and cooled.

If the depth at which the lowermost extremity of the stem is immersed is too great, normal human lung power cannot attain a sufficient vacuum or negative pressure to draw smoke from the bowl into the interior of the hookah.

This in turn limits the amount of filtering and cooling that can be achieved in a traditional hookah or water pipe.

However, the limited ability of human lung power to produce a vacuum or negative pressure also limits the maximum combustion rate that can be achieved in a traditional hookah or water pipe.

Besides, smoking using a traditional hookah takes smokers additional time and effort to have the hookah ready for use, not to mention the cleanup time of changing tobacco after the smoking experience and most importantly the health problems the smokers and surrounding non-smoking public will suffer as a result from the smoke which contains over 4000 harmful by-products and known carcinogens found in tobacco product.

All this makes the smoking experience less joyful and less pleasant.
