Abstract

Described is a hookah device. The hookah device includes a unique hookah head and consumable pod. The hookah head includes a bowl portion with a pod recess formed therein to receive a consumable pod. An electronic heating mechanism is positioned within the hookah head for heating the consumable pod. An air pathway is formed through the hookah head to introduce air into the consumable pod and direct smoke from the consumable pod into a hookah body. The consumable pod is similarly formed to fit within the hookah head. Further, the consumable pod includes a pod inlet and pod outlet for directing air through the pod and through the hookah device for inhalation.
