Abstract
The present invention includes a check valve on or about the stem of hookah that re-directs wetted smoke through the conduit that primarily supplies dry smoke into a hookah bottle.
Claims14
A hookah comprising:
- a hookah bottle having a solid sidewall defining a bottle interior and a bottle neck;
- a hookah stem releasably affixable to said hookah bottle, said stem comprising:
- a primary stem, positioned above said bottle neck, adapted to hold a hookah burner and defining:
- a central, substantially-vertical dry smoke conduit bounded by a dry smoke inlet and a lower dry smoke outlet formed by a transverse stem wall;
- and a wet smoke conduit bounded by a wet smoke inlet and a peripheral wet smoke outlet above said bottle neck;
- a down tube, affixed to said dry smoke outlet and further defining said dry smoke conduit, terminating in a lower dry smoke release aperture, dimensioned to extend into said hookah bottle to a penetration depth at least half of a bottle height;
- a pressure-actuated check valve, positioned upon said primary stem and in gaseous communication with said bottle interior, with a wet smoke entry exposed to said bottle interior and a wet smoke intake in direct gaseous communication with said dry smoke inlet, and adapted to selectively impede, during neutral and negative bottle pressure events, and allow, during positive bottle pressure events, gaseous communication from said wet smoke entry to said wet smoke intake;
- and
- a hose fitting, affixed to said wet smoke outlet, for the releasable affixation of a hookah hose to said hookah stem.

The hookah of claim 7 wherein said check valve includes an external pressure conduit, and wherein said primary stem includes a radial wet smoke inlet in gaseous communication with said dry smoke inlet.
A hookah comprising:
- a hookah bottle having a solid sidewall defining a bottle interior and a bottle neck;
- a hookah stem releasably affixable to said hookah bottle, said stem comprising:
- a primary stem, positioned above said bottle neck, adapted to hold a hookah burner and defining:
- a central, substantially-vertical dry smoke conduit bounded by a dry smoke inlet and a lower dry smoke outlet formed by a transverse stem wall;
- and a wet smoke conduit bounded by a wet smoke inlet and a peripheral wet smoke outlet above said bottle neck;
- a down tube, affixed to said dry smoke outlet and further defining said dry smoke conduit, terminating in a lower dry smoke release aperture, dimensioned to extend into said hookah bottle to a penetration depth at least half of a bottle height;
- a pressure-actuated check valve with a wet smoke entry, within said primary stem, exposed to said bottle interior and a wet smoke intake, within said primary stem, in direct gaseous communication with said dry smoke inlet, and adapted to selectively impede, during neutral and negative bottle pressure events, and allow, during positive bottle pressure events, gaseous communication from said wet smoke entry to said wet smoke intake;
- and
- a hose fitting, affixed to said wet smoke outlet, for the releasable affixation of a hookah hose to said hookah stem.
