Electronic Hookah System

Abstract

A hookah-themed electronic device mimics a traditional coal and water based hookah in appearance via a hookah-shaped body. Power sources are housed inside the hookah-shaped body and used to provide current to attached cartomizers or vaporizers. Attachments are enabled by hoses which engage with a female socket on the hookah-shaped body and provide an adapter at a second end for receiving the cartomizer, with power being transmitted through the hose. A switch is provided on the hose for completing or breaking an electrical connection between an attached cartomizer and the power sources. Several circuits are integrated into the invention, including a voltage-control circuit for adjusting voltage output, a power-charging circuit for recharging the power sources, and a power-remaining sensor circuit for monitoring the remaining charge of the power sources. Decorative elements further simulating non-electronic hookahs are also provided, mimicking effects such as the glow of coals.
