We bring it in directly from Alpha Hookah in St. Petersburg as a complete stem set — silicone hose, colour-matched aluminium mouthpiece, stainless steel tray with heat-resistant powder-coated finish, removable diffuser and branded presentation box. Everything you need for a session, except the base — and we've left that for you to choose.
Vertical Purge System · Complete Stem Set with Hose & Mouthpiece · Genuine Russian Import
Alpha Hookah X Vertical Purge Shisha Pipe in Black Matte from Russia.
Why The X
- Vertical purge with eight precision-cut slots through the stem's bell — the design that shifted the industry toward upward-vented stems in 2018.
- 11mm inner stem diameter with a fully removable diffuser — switch between a tighter traditional pull and wide-open airflow in seconds.
- Magnetic hose connection paired with a colour-matched aluminium mouthpiece — both included, both designed by Alpha to work as one system.
- Stainless steel skeleton, powder-coated anodised aluminium overlays, polyacetal connectors — materials chosen for longevity, not weight.
- 42 cm height with a fully collapsible threaded build — sits between compact desktop and full lounge proportions, breaks down for travel.
- Black Matte finish with polished chrome accents on the downstem, diffuser, mouthpiece tip and tray spike — deep, sculpted, fingerprint-resistant, with quiet visual weight on the table.
Base / Vase — Not Included
We ship the X as a stem set, pair it with the base you want.
Every authentic Alpha Hookah X ships from the St. Petersburg factory as a stem set — silicone hose, aluminium mouthpiece, tray, diffuser and presentation box, all included. The only piece left out is the base, and that's how we've decided to bring it in. Some international retailers bundle a glass base at the point of sale; we leave it open so you can pair the X with whichever base matches your setup and your aesthetic.

Fit & Compatibility
- Pairs with any standard hookah base via the included grommet seal.
- Bowl fitment: accepts most standard phunnel bowls and traditional clay bowls with the included silicone bowl grommet.
- Hose system: magnetic — the supplied silicone hose attaches and detaches without threading.
How To Use
- Pair the stem to your chosen base by pushing the downstem firmly into the base grommet until it seals.
- Snap the magnetic hose into the side port — no threading, no rotation needed.
- Fit your bowl to the top spire using the included silicone bowl grommet.
- For a tighter traditional pull, leave the diffuser in place. For a wide-open draw, unscrew the diffuser from the bottom of the downstem.
- To purge, exhale gently into the hose mouthpiece — smoke vents upward through the eight-slot vertical purge in the bell.
- For travel, unscrew the stem into its component sections and pack into the presentation box.
Pair with coconut charcoal and a foil-wrapped bowl, or upgrade to a heat management device for cleaner, more consistent heat.
Care & Maintenance
- After each session, empty the base and rinse with warm water.
- Wipe the stem with a damp cloth once it has cooled fully. Use a long-handled bore brush with warm soapy water for deeper cleans.
- Remove the diffuser before cleaning the bore so the screen rinses separately.
- Keep the magnetic hose port dry and wipe away any sticky residue with a soft cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers on the anodised aluminium overlay and matte finish.
- The tray has a heat-resistant powder-coated finish — don't leave burning coals sitting directly on the surface for extended stretches, and use a coal carrier or rest when transferring hot coals.
- Never put any component in a dishwasher.
- Store disassembled in the presentation box when not in regular use.

Questions, Answered
Does the kit include a hose and mouthpiece?
Yes — the Alpha Hookah X ships complete with a magnetic silicone hose and a colour-matched aluminium mouthpiece, both from the Alpha factory and both designed to work as one system. The kit also includes the tray, removable diffuser, grommet set and presentation box. The only piece you'll need to add is the base.
Why doesn't the Alpha Hookah X come with a base or vase?
Because we've chosen to bring it in that way. Every authentic X ships from the St. Petersburg factory as a stem set, and we leave the base open so you can pair the X with the vessel that suits your setup. Browse our base collection and pick whichever one fits your aesthetic — there's no factory pairing constraint.
What's the difference between leaving the diffuser in and removing it?
With the diffuser fitted, the draw is tighter and denser — airflow passes through the diffuser screen, which adds resistance and breaks the bubbles into smaller, quieter streams. Unscrew the diffuser from the bottom of the downstem and the draw opens right up — wider pull, louder bubbles, classic-style airflow. Both configurations are built into the X by design, so you can switch between them at any point in the session.
Is the diffuser removable?
Yes. The diffuser screws into the base of the downstem and can be removed for a wide-open airflow profile, or kept in place for a tighter traditional pull. Both configurations are built into the X by design.
Will third-party hoses fit the magnetic port?
The X uses a proprietary magnetic connector. The supplied silicone hose attaches by magnet rather than thread or push-fit, and it's colour-matched to the stem. Third-party hoses will only fit if they have a compatible magnetic adapter — the stock hose is the recommended pairing and is included in every kit. For spares or replacements, see our mouthpieces and hoses collection.
