Shishavac Automates Your Hookah Habit

According to the Wikipedia entry, smoking a shisha (or hookah) is sooo 16th century. Fire, smoke, water, trees and tobacco–the experience is roughly elemental. But the Shishavac wants to brings things up to date, shopping-channel style.

A shisha is a H2O siren used to fume flavored tobacco. Similar in element to a H2O bong, the shisha consists of considerable H2O bottle with a neck that is pressed with tobacco and then covered with seperated tinfoil. Red-hot lumps of colourless are placed on tip to set the tobacco smoldering. You then siphon by the hose, fume is pulled in to the bottle, froth up by the H2O where it cools, and then travels on in to your fervently watchful lungs.

When ready properly, a shisha is fantastic. The shishavac might not help with the high quality of the preparation, but it creates it easier. It does 4 things. First, it will set fire to the charcoal. Place the chunks onto an electrical element and it will feverishness them until ready, sounding an warning when done.

Then, when you have installed the shisha, you put the hose in to a hole on the Shishavac and it sucks, getting the fire going and decoration the tobacco. Usually the man in the shisha club does this for you before handing you a hermetically sealed cosmetic spokesman to put over the hose-tip, but hey, who needs practice anyway?

Third is cleaning. The Shishavac can moreover detonate air by the blood vessel with a 600-watt engine to coherent out slow particles. This is, apparently, improved than H2O that can decay tools of the tube.

And fourth is drying. Should you confirm to rinse the hose, or find it filled with steam and saliva, the Shishavac will detonate dehydrated air by the tube. If this sounds suspiciously similar to step three, then that's since it probably is.

The entire thing is built in to a tatty, plasticky-looking device that resembles an oversized Nespresso machine. It may be paid for for $280. Here in Berlin, that would purchase you around 70-80 shishas in a club down Neuklln way.
