Canadian Heart Surgeon Releases an Open-Source 3D Printable Electronic Hookah/Shisha
TORONTO, April 24, 2014 /CNW/ - 180 Smoke, a crowd-sourced Canadian electronic cigarette company, announced today the release of a free 3D printable adapter
that allows users to convert a traditional hookah/shisha into a cleaner
electronic version. The adapter is placed on top of a hookah, replacing
the ceramic bowl, and allows for the insertion of standard electronic
cigarettes. 180 Smoke is the first company to conceive this type of
adapter.
"Hookahs play a significant role in more than 100 million daily smokers
worldwide who are largely oblivious to the fact that a 1-hour hookah
session produces almost as much smoke volume as 200 cigarettes," said
Dr. Gopal Bhatnagar, a leading Canadian heart surgeon and 180 Smoke's
co-founder. "The adapter that we've invented allows them to still
engage in this social practice, but without the combustion, tar, carbon
monoxide and thousands of other chemicals. We believe it will help
hookah smokers reduce the harm by almost 99%."
The adapter is being offered open source as a free download for personal
use worldwide under a Creative Commons License.
The adapter works by connecting a traditional hookah with any automatic
e-cigarette, even disposables, which are inexpensive and are readily
available in most corner stores.
"By sharing this innovation and tackling myths about water filtration,
herbal hookah safety, and others, we strive to equip smokers with the
tools, resources and information they need to make better choices,"
said Dr. Bhatnagar.
