OOKA x seven9 pods are here with the modern weed hookah of cannabis consumers’ dreams.


There are few smoking experiences sexier than smoking hookah with friends. Gathering around the elegant centerpiece together and choosing a shisha flavor or cannabis strain, passing the hose and getting those velvety smooth pulls and big smoke clouds, leaning back and luxuriating in the time together—it’s not difficult to understand why the ancient tradition still brings people together today.

Thankfully for the modern hookah enthusiast, advancements in technology have welcomed a new era of convenience and innovation, making the beloved social smoking practice even more accessible and easy to enjoy wherever life takes you, without the risks associated with inhaling burning cannabis.

OOKA’s design incorporates the essentials of hookah style, pairing those features with modern technology for a one-two punch of convenience and performance.

At the cutting edge of this evolving scene, you’ll find OOKA—the first pod-based weed hookah. The new OOKA device lands perfectly at the intersection of aesthetics, function, tradition, and technology. It offers cannabis consumers an elevated smoking experience that’s altogether unique and enhances the best parts of hookah culture and enjoying cannabis with friends.

OOKA’s design incorporates the essentials of hookah style—with a sleek centerpiece, a large water chamber to cool down hits, and an elegant hose—and pairs those features with modern technology for a one-two punch of convenience and performance.

Partnering with seven9 pods, OOKA works with a one-of-a-kind, proprietary pod system. Each pod contains premium, California-grown whole flower, thoughtfully combined with a blend of cannabis terpenes to offer a full-spectrum, full-flavored experience. seven9 will also be launching a new infused pod line with the same premium whole flower, enhanced with live resin, later on this summer.

With a simple press of a button, activate OOKA’s heat-not-burn temperature technology—driven by an intelligent microchip for optimal heating—and adjust the silver ring on the hose to choose between three settings to dial in the perfect hit.

And that’s it. OOKA will quietly go to work heating your whole flower blend of choice, starting a 60-minute session where all you and your friends need to do is kick back, relax, and take it all in.

A whole new way to hookah

As famous as hookah smoking is for its distinguished communal experience, it’s not exactly known for ease of use. Part of the beauty of OOKA is that it’s supremely simple to set up and enjoy while providing a smooth & smart cannabis experience.

There’s no charcoal or fire like with traditional hookahs, and even more, you don’t have to grind your weed, carry papers, pack bowls, decide who gets greens, or deal with ash as with other cannabis smoking methods. Instead, OOKA combines the heating tech and high design of top-tier desktop vaporizers with the style and sociability of hookahs to give you the best of both worlds in one game-changing package.

The rechargeable OOKA comes in sleek black and bright white finish options and is all set to provide up to three hours of smoking time after one charge, enough for a few different group sessions. Simply drop in a pod and press play to get the party started.

OOKA’s intelligent microchip works to ensure precise heating to get the best vapor clouds from the seven9 pods, and the intuitive design makes it easy to further control intensity to each individual’s preference from there. The OOKA device was designed by Dyson engineers, after all, so you can trust the level of big-brain thinking that went into optimizing this experience.

Once you’ve started a session with OOKA, one pod will last about one hour for a session with a crew of about five friends. In that time, you get to lean into the best part of the hookah smoking tradition: sitting back, pulling big, velvety clouds, and passing the hose while letting conversations stretch on, sharing a moment with good company. If you ask us, it doesn’t get much better than that.

OOKA includes a convenient “pause” setting if you find yourself needing to take a break within the 60-minute session (to restock snacks or go look at something pretty… you know, the essentials). Once you resume, OOKA will continue your session where you left off. And if you find your circle is ready for more after the first session finishes up, just pop in another pod, and you’re on your way.

Speaking of on your way: amazingly enough, OOKA is portable, too. OOKA breaks down into three components for easy cleaning and take-anywhere, fits-in-a-bag portability. Oh, the places you’ll OOKA.

A premium flower pod for every vibe

At the end of the day, any smoking device is only as good as the weed you put in it, right? By partnering with seven9 pods, OOKA gets this critical component just right.

Each of seven9’s five different pods contain premium whole flower sourced from partnering California cannabis farms with a range of carefully selected strains to encourage particular effects. The plant scientists on staff at seven9 have then selected the optimal terpenes to enhance both the flavor and the effects experience of the chosen strains, and pair the flower blend with additional real-plant terpenes.

This extra step is key for two main reasons:

1) A central part of the culture and appeal of hookah smoking is enjoying the flavor and aroma of what you’re smoking—seven9 pods produce a beautiful nose and taste that faithfully represent that essential experience factor.

2) The thoughtful combination of ideal strain blends with additional plant terpenes means that each of the five currently available pods from seven9 offer unique feelings and effects, so it’s easy to choose a pod based on the vibes you want to encourage.

Let’s take a closer look at the OOKA x seven9 pod lineup.
