Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em: The E-Hookah

A couple of years ago, I received a hookah as a Christmas gift from a friend. I’m not a smoker mind you, but every once in a while I’ll get in the mood to fire the ‘ol hookah up. The reason for the “once in a while” routine? Well, smoking isn’t that great for the lungs (shocker!) but more importantly, I can only stand so much of it before it makes me nauseous. Also, the fact that I can’t take my wondrous hookah anywhere in public because of anti-smoking laws blanketing the country means it has been relegated to a rarely occurring treat. Ok — why am I talking hookahs on a tech blog? It all leads into the the whole transformation of taking something as old and seemingly stagnant as a hookah and somehow making it digital. Such a transformation is perfectly captured in the E-Hookah…
