The novelty in the form of an electronic hookah first appeared on the American continent in 2013. By and large, the device of a hookah is not much different from its "close relative" - an electronic cigarette. Appropriate product design, a competent advertising campaign - and the device is gaining popularity not only in America but also in European countries.
Electronic version
The harm from smoking is a well-known truth. In an effort to minimize side effects from a vicious habit, manufacturers offer alternatives. The hookah device can completely eliminate the consumption of nicotine.
Starbuzz shaped the hookah hose handle. The corresponding external design in oriental motifs, the modern version of the replaceable cartridge, the absence of nicotine - all this attracted a significant number of buyers. The culture of smoking a hookah involves the concomitant decoration: sofas or soft carpets, calm music, leisurely conversation, pleasant company.
The device is a hookah electronic easier than traditional. You can carry it in your hands, take it with you on trips, or smoke on the go. It does not require special conditions for use.
Design
Upon closer inspection, the electronic hookah, the device of which is described below, is a structure consisting of several cylinders. Models differ in size:
- large in shape resemble classic models;
- pocket ones are up to 40 cm long;
- hookah pen resembles an electronic cigarette.
Regardless of size, serious manufacturers supply a complete set that allows using the product without purchasing additional accessories. In addition to the operating instructions, it includes:
- a tube;
- mouthpiece;
- silicone tip;
- cartridges
- Charger.
They are designed approximately the same. An activating heater, a battery and a steam generator (atomizer) are mounted in the tube. Classic tobacco replaces a kind of "syrup." Its composition:
- water;
- propylene glycol - a colorless viscous liquid with a specific odor, hygroscopic;
- flavoring, which are used in the food industry;
- glycerin is a group of trihydric alcohols; it is a colorless viscous liquid with a sweetish taste.
Such a “cocktail” is harmless to the human body.
Principle of operation
The operation of the apparatus is to heat the liquid until it turns into steam, which the smoker inhales. The standard device for igniting coal for a hookah in the electronic version replaces the heating element. During inspiration, an electrical circuit is closed, as a result, the heater is activated and almost instantly brings the liquid from the cartridge to a vapor state. All this design is enclosed in an atomizer - a cylindrical tank. It contains a ceramic bowl with an integrated evaporation system with a wick that can withstand high temperatures. An atomizer winder made of a nichrome spiral with contacts is connected to a power button, a microcircuit, and control sensors.
Uninterrupted operation is ensured by the atomizer battery. An electronic hookah (a charger and a battery are included in the kit) runs on a regular battery like batteries for mobile phones. Its charge lasts for several days. This allows you to classify the product as a mobile device. Cartridges with different flavors can be replaced. The taste of steam directly depends on the choice of flavoring. Moreover, there are devices in which two cartridges are simultaneously used at once, mixing different tastes. Thick smoke has a taste of hookah tobacco.
Process
The device itself is simple to operate. The instructions for the product describe in detail the hookah device and how to smoke a hookah:
First you need to assemble the device:
- unscrew the ring in the lid to install the mouthpiece;
- tightly screw the mouthpiece counterclockwise into the nest;
- plugs are removed from cartridges;
- screw both cartridges (if the design provides for the use of two tastes at once) into special recesses in the hookah body;
- install the rubber seal in the cover;
- tightly twist the ring;
Smoking:
- charge the device (at least 4 hours);
- make the first puff lasting 3-4 seconds;
- after a break (from 5 seconds or more), the puff is repeated;
- alternate puffs with breaks throughout the entire period of smoking;
- if necessary, replace cartridges (if they are already empty);
- after smoking, the cartridges are unscrewed and the openings are closed with plugs.
The hookah is equipped with a battery charge indicator, which prompts you in time that the battery is dead. The hookah device does not allow too long or frequent puffs. They will cause the evaporator to overheat, as a result, a taste of bitterness will be felt.
Features
Adherents of the classic form of smoking for no money will not exchange the pleasure of preparing the ceremony. It should be noted that electronic hookah has several advantages:
- relatively low price (from $ 25);
