Hookah with a purge valve and stem tube configured to purge out stale smoke

Abstract

A hookah with a hookah body that is hollow and having a smoke chamber therewithin. A stem tube is inserted into the hookah body and extends through the smoke chamber. A hose is connected to the bottom end of the hookah body and a purge valve is attached to the top end of the hookah body. The purge valve allows stale smoke from the smoke chamber to be pushed outside without pushing out fresh smoke or leaving behind stale smoke within the smoke chamber. The unique location of the purge valve relative to the hose connection allows the stale smoke to be effectively purged out.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A hookah comprising:
 a hookah body that is hollow and having a smoke chamber inside;   a base onto which said hookah body is attached and into which water is added;   a stem tube that is attached to said hookah body and having a bottom end so that said stem tube extends through said smoke chamber until said bottom end is immersed in the water within said base;   a bowl that is attached to said stem tube and onto which tobacco is placed;   a hose that is in communication with said smoke chamber through a hose connection;   a purge valve that is in communication with said smoke chamber and is located above said hose connection; and   whereby said purge valve allows the flow of smoke out of said smoke chamber and blocks the flow of air into said smoke chamber.   
     
     
         2 . Said hookah of  claim 1  whereby said smoke chamber can retain a greater volume of smoke than said base can retain above said water. 
     
     
         3 . Said hookah of  claim 1  whereby said stem tube can be physically removed from said hookah body.
