As hookah culture gains acceptance among younger users, the barriers to entry and maintenance costs of traditional hookah systems are becoming increasingly apparent. Lighting charcoal, controlling the fire, cleaning, and seasoning—these elements that originally constitute the “ritual” of hookah use have become burdens for many users in today’s fast-paced life. The V30 aims to find a more balanced solution between the traditional hookah experience and the convenience of electronic devices.
From a product positioning perspective, the V30 is not an electronic cigarette device emphasizing portability, but rather a hookah electronic device designed for desktop use and shared gatherings. Its design philosophy is not to completely overturn the way hookah is used, but rather to systematically optimize the pain points of traditional hookah while retaining the core experience.
1: Compatibility with Traditional Hookahs, Continuing Familiar Usage
A key feature of the V30 is its compatibility with traditional hookahs. The device easily connects to traditional hookah pipes and tubular hookah devices, allowing users to transition from traditional hookah to an electronic solution without changing their existing habits.
This design approach is very user-friendly. For users accustomed to sitting around a hookah with friends, the V30 doesn’t disrupt their social rhythm and atmosphere. The familiar device and familiar smoking method remain; the difference is that combustion and flame control are replaced by an electronic atomization system, resulting in a more stable and controllable overall experience.
2: Modular cartridge design reduces maintenance costs
In traditional hookah use, cleaning the e-liquid tank and pipes is always an unavoidable task. The V30 offers a more modern solution to this problem through its modular cartridge design.
The device uses a replaceable cartridge structure, allowing users to switch flavors without cleaning the e-liquid tank; simply replace the cartridge. This design not only saves maintenance time but also effectively reduces flavor cross-contamination, making it cleaner and more convenient for scenarios where multiple people take turns using the device.
In practical use, this “plug-and-play” approach significantly lowers the barrier to entry for hookah, making it more like a relaxed social device rather than a complex appliance requiring special preparation and cleanup.
3: 30ml Large-Capacity E-liquid Tank for Long-Term Use
The V30’s 30ml e-liquid tank is relatively large compared to other e-cigarette devices. The advantage of this large capacity is particularly noticeable when used by multiple people or during extended gatherings.
Less frequent refilling means a more continuous experience, without frequently interrupting conversation. For desktop hookah devices, this stability is itself part of the experience. Users can focus more on the conversation itself, rather than device maintenance.
4: 65W Output Power for Excellent Vapor Performance
In terms of performance, the V30 offers a maximum output power of 65W, paired with a 0.2Ω Mesh Coil heating coil. This configuration provides a solid foundation for both vapor production and flavor performance.
The advantages of a mesh coil lie in its large heating area and even heating, enabling it to reach a stable atomization state in a short time. In actual use, the vapor output is ample and dense, while maintaining a relatively smooth taste without noticeable irritation. This performance is closer to the traditional hookah’s pursuit of “rich but not harsh” flavor.
5: Adjustable Airflow System to Adapt to Different Preferences
Considering the different preferences of users for draw resistance and vapor intensity, the V30 features an airflow adjustment knob at the bottom of the device. By rotating the knob, users can freely adjust the draw resistance according to their breathing rhythm.
In a more open airflow state, the vaping process is easy and smooth, suitable for users who prefer a gentler experience; when the airflow tightens, the vapor becomes more concentrated, and the presence of the vapor during inhalation is enhanced. This adjustability allows the same device to meet the different needs of multiple users.
6: Ring LED Lighting to Enhance Desktop Ambient
In terms of design, the V30 does not pursue overly complex decorations, but rather enhances the overall visual layering through a ring LED lighting effect. In low-light environments, the lighting effects naturally become the visual focus on the desktop, creating a more atmospheric setting for gatherings.
This design is not merely visual decoration, but rather echoes the social and ambiance-oriented nature of hookah, making the device more noticeable during use.
7: Real-time e-liquid and battery level display enhances predictability.
The V30 features real-time e-liquid level and battery level displays, allowing users to intuitively understand the device’s current status. This information visualization effectively reduces the risk of sudden power outages or running out of e-liquid, making usage more convenient.
For desktop devices, this predictability is crucial in actual use, especially when shared by multiple users, allowing for advance preparation and preventing disruptions to the experience.
8: Battery and charging configuration meets daily needs.
The device has a built-in 2000mAh battery, coupled with a Type-C charging port, providing stable battery life during daily use. For the V30, primarily used in fixed locations, this battery size achieves a good balance between size and battery life.
The device measures ∅70×158mm, and the e-liquid cartridges measure ∅70×49mm. The overall proportions are relatively stable, making it less likely to tip over when placed on a table, which aligns with its desktop device positioning.
Overall Evaluation
In summary, the V30 is not a product that pursues extreme parameters or flashy designs, but rather an electronic device systematically optimized for hookah usage scenarios. While maintaining compatibility with traditional hookahs, it introduces modular e-liquid cartridges, a large-capacity design, and stable atomization performance, making the hookah experience easier, cleaner, and more controllable.
For users who want to retain the social atmosphere of hookah but do not want to bear the maintenance costs of traditional hookahs, the V30 provides a relatively mature and well-rounded option.
