Abstract

The present device generally relates to a waterless electronic hookah machine. The waterless electronic hookah machine has a main body portion, a handle section and a flexible wire cable (or “connector”). The flexible wire cable electrically connects the main body portion with the handle section. The handle section has a removable mouthpiece containing a cartridge having a liquid. When a user activates a push button or vacuum switch on the handle section, a power source in the main body portion sends power through the flexible wire cable to an atomizer located in the handle section which then heats the liquid in the cartridge of the mouthpiece and a vapor is created for the user to inhale. The device allows multiple users (generally up to six) to use the device at the same time wherein each user may experience a different flavor smoke. Flavors may be easily switched without the need to rinse out the electronic hookah machine. The user is able to adjust the voltage going to the handle.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic hookah machine comprising:

a main body section having an exterior surface and having an interior;

a handle section having a first end, a second end, an exterior surface and an interior;

a flexible wire cable electrically connecting the main body section to the second end of the handle section; and

a mouthpiece having a first end, a second end and an interior having a removable cartridge containing a liquid wherein the second end of the mouthpiece is temporarily secured to the first end of the handle section;

a heating element electronically connected to the removable cartridge wherein the heating element transforms the liquid into a vapor;

a power source electrically connected to the heating element; and

an angled shelf surrounding the main body section wherein the angled shelf has a generally circular support surface extending approximately thirty to sixty degrees with respect to the main body section;

wherein the circular support surface is magnetic and wherein the circular support surface is magnetically attracted to and temporarily secures the extended mouthpiece of the handle section on the angled shelf.

2. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 wherein the power source is located within the interior of the main body section wherein the power source is electrically connected to the heating element through the flexible wire cable.

3. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 wherein the power source is a battery.

4. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

an extended mouth contact device temporarily secured to the mouthpiece wherein the extended mouth contact device has a first end and a second end wherein the second end of the extended mouth contact is secured to the mouthpiece and wherein the first end is wedged-shaped.

5. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

a plurality of LED lights located on the main body section wherein the plurality of LED are electrically connected to a power source and wherein the plurality of LED lights indicate if the electronic hookah machine is on.

6. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

adjustable voltmeter electronically connected to the power source wherein the adjustable voltmeter allows a user to adjust the amount of power reaching the heating element.

7. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 wherein the heating element is located within the interior of the handle section.

8. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

an electrical socket located within the interior of the main body section and electrically connected to the power source wherein the electrical socket temporarily charges and stores the handle section when the handle section is not in use.

9. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

a vacuum activated switch within the mouthpiece wherein the vacuum activated switch activates the heating element when a user inhales on the mouthpiece.

10. The electronic hookah machine of claim 1 further comprising:

an electrical attachment port on the exterior surface of the main body section wherein the electrical attachment port is electrically connected to the power source and wherein an MP3 player is attached to the electrical attachment port.

11. The electronic hookah of claim 1 further comprising:

a second shelf surrounding the main body section wherein the second shelf has an opening for receiving and storing the handle section when the handle section is not in use.

12. The electronic hookah of claim 1 wherein the mouthpiece is secured to the handle section via a helical threaded portion.

13. The electronic hookah of claim 1 further comprising:

an extending male protrusion section of the handle section wherein the extended male protrusion has a circumference which is less than a circumference of a main body of the handle section;

a female connection point of the mouthpiece wherein the female connection has an opening slightly larger than the circumference of the extending male protrusion wherein the extended male protrusion section snaps into and is secured to the female connection point of the mouthpiece; and

a rubber or metal gasket located between the extended male protrusion section and the female connection point wherein the rubber or metal gasket provides a liquid and air tight seal between the removable mouthpiece and the handle section.

14. The electronic hookah of claim 1 further comprising:

a button located on the handle section wherein the button activates the electronic hookah by mechanically producing an electrical contact between an electronic flexible wire cable located within the interior of the handle section and the power source.

15. The electronic hookah of claim 1 wherein the main body section has a top which is unscrewed allowing access to the interior of the main body section wherein a plurality of electrical sockets are located within the interior of the main body section wherein the electrical sockets temporarily secure the handle sections when not in use and wherein the electrical sockets charge a battery located within the handle section.
