Abstract
An atomisation module and liquid container for a hookah. The liquid container is releasably attachable to the atomisation module. When the liquid container is attached to the atomisation module, liquid flows out of a liquid outlet, through a liquid flow guide and into a secondary liquid chamber. A first capillary transfers the liquid to a second capillary, and an ultrasonic transducer atomises the liquid to produce a mist. When the liquid chamber is depleted of liquid, the liquid container may be detached from the atomisation module and replaced.
