Abstract
The present invention relates to a modular smoke plenum that can be implemented in a hookah, pipe or other smoking device. The modular plenum according to embodiments of the invention features multiple modules or components that may be rearranged in any order, allowing for interchanging and rearranging of the components. Each module may have a specific purpose or functionality, such as cooling, filtering, or extending the length of the device. A standardized interface on each end of the modules allows for connection of the modules in any order to construct a modular plenum. This provides for unlimited rearrangement of the modules, an unlimited number of modules in the plenum, and unlimited reconfiguration possibilities for the modular plenum. By changing the functionality of the plenum and/or the order in which the smoke passes through the different functions, a different smoking experience can be achieved without using a completely different device.
