The Retro hookah is the new EPOK version of the famous "3 balls" model that appeared in France in the mid-2000s. A true popular icon reinterpreted by many brands, the 3 balls model has become a staple of hookah culture in France. EPOK revisits this model by offering accessories and finishes that are EPOK's trademark!
The 3-bowl chicha model appeared in France in the mid-2000s, at the beginning of the chicha phenomenon that quickly spread across Europe and the USA. Characteristic of the French public's taste for compact chichas, the 3-bowl chicha is a style of powerful, robust, and affordable chicha that has been reinterpreted by many brands. However, this iconic model from the 2000s suffered from its outdated hose and bowl, which dated back to a time when the use of natural charcoal was not common. With the RETRO, the EPOK brand, specialist in acrylic chichas, reinvents this model and brings it into modernity with trendy colors and quality accessories.
More than ever, vintage is a strong trend that affects many high-end brands. From SMEG with its refrigerators reminiscent of the 1960s to Vespa, which offers electric versions of its famous scooters, to Volkswagen and its "New Beetle," the star products of the past resurface with their timeless look, but at the same time are equipped with modern evolutions.
It is this same approach that led EPOK to update the famous 3-bowl model by modernizing its design, offering new colors, and updating certain technical aspects of the device. The Epok RETRO chicha will be delivered with a silicone hose (washable) according to modern standards, allowing for maximum smoke production and an XL handle of 28 cm that matches your chicha. The RETRO also includes the famous EPOK silicone bowl, a highly rigid silicone chicha head compatible with heating systems like Kaloud Lotus or Beskar Rebel.
One of the innovations brought by the new version signed by EPOK is the hose connection system without a gasket. Like high-end stainless steel models, the RETRO features gasket-less hose connectors. This very practical system prevents the hose from falling off and offers unparalleled comfort of use. With its two included connectors, the Epok RETRO natively offers the possibility to connect two hoses. This allows you to easily share your chicha with friends by simultaneously connecting two hoses. Prefer to smoke alone? No problem, the RETRO works just as well in two-hose mode as in single-hose mode. You just need to remove the ball from one of the connectors and connect your hose to the connector from which you removed the ball. This will instantly transform the second connector into a purge valve, allowing you to empty the vase by blowing into the hose in case of overheating.
The stem of the Epok RETRO chicha is equipped with a special threading that allows you to add a screw-on diffuser to your plunge. This diffuser, sold separately, will help reduce the noise of your RETRO chicha. The diffuser for the Epok RETRO will also make the draw of your chicha smoother and lighter for maximum smoke and smoothness!
The Epok RETRO chicha reconnects with what made the three-bowl chicha successful: An aesthetic and elegant model that offers great comfort of use and simplicity. Whether you are an experienced user or a beginner in the world of chicha, you will be charmed by this intuitive model that allows for large smoke production and excellent flavor delivery thanks to the quality of its accessories and design!
Never wash your Epok RETRO chicha with boiling water or abrasive products, as you risk damaging the vase and the column. Prefer rinsing with lukewarm water using suitable brushes, and remember to clean it after each use to maintain all the qualities of your chicha!
