Patent attributes
A charcoal-less hookah and components thereof. Preferably, the charcoal-less hookah is an electronic hookah. A battery may be operably connected to one or more heating elements to heat the one or more heating elements to allow the hookah to be used at a site lacking an electrical outlet. Preferably, the battery is sufficiently removed from one or more heating elements and a heat exchanger so that the battery is not exposed to elevated or harmful temperatures. The charcoal-less hookah may include a hookah sub-assembly having a heating element, a heat exchanger and tobacco/smoked substance disposed below the heat exchanger and the heating element and an insulation section which is disposed above the tobacco/smoked substance and below a lower portion of the heating element and a lower portion of the heat exchanger. The insulation section is configured to prevent the smoked substance from being exposed to an evaporation temperature when the hookah is being operated but is not being used to smoke a smoked substance while exposing the smoked substance to a temperature equal to or exceeding the evaporation temperature when the hookah is operating and being used to smoke a smoked substance.
