The Smart EXZO Gold is Alpha Hookah's flagship Smart Box. Underneath, the engineering is identical to the standard EXZO — plexiglass inner chamber, stainless steel inner shaft, integrated LED, waterfall purge, 4-position diffuser, magnetic hose port. What changes is the finish: titanium-nitride coats every stainless steel functional surface in warm bronze gold, the base is gold-anodised aluminium with the EXZO wordmark, and matte black anodised aluminium side panels overlaid with intricate white lotus mandala linework wrap the chamber. A lotus mandala runs across the top tray frame, with a gold cut-out coal mesh sitting flush above it. The LED backlights it all from within. Top of the Smart Box line. Limited-edition skin, brought into Australia directly.

Why The EXZO Gold

• Titanium-nitride gold coating across every stainless steel functional component — shaft, base cone, bowl cone, tray, magnetic port, diffuser, mouthpiece tube. TiN is a hard ceramic coating used on premium cutting tools and luxury watches; finishes warm bronze-gold and shrugs off scratches and wear.
• Gold-anodised aluminium base with EXZO wordmark — matte gold tone bonded into the surface of the metal rather than painted on, won't chip or peel.
• Matte black anodised aluminium skin panels with intricate white lotus mandala linework — wrap the plexiglass chamber and frame the LED light from within. Slip the panels off (foam-padded inner surface protects the chamber when fitted) or run the EXZO Gold bare for a different look.
• Lotus mandala-engraved top tray frame in matte black with fine white linework — paired with a gold cut-out decorative coal mesh that sits flush on top.
• Same integrated LED with remote as every Smart EXZO — chamber backlight that picks up the gold surfaces and lotus mandala linework during a session.
• Waterfall purge, 4-position stainless steel diffuser (TiN-coated), magnetic hose port (TiN-coated), bubble catcher and fixed silicone cone bowl seal — full Smart Box engineering, unchanged underneath.
• Modular build — the lotus skin panels lift off the chamber, the top tray frame lifts off for water filling, and the removable gold coal mesh doubles as a separate coal rest off the unit.

Fit & Compatibility

• Bowl fitment: fixed silicone cone seat accepts all standard phunnel and traditional clay bowls — no separate grommet needed.
• Heat: works with classic charcoal-and-foil setups and modern heat management devices on the integrated tray mesh well.
• Hose: proprietary magnetic port; the included Soft Touch silicone hose with gold mouthpiece is the recommended pairing.

How To Use

1. Lift the top tray frame off and fill the plexiglass chamber with cold water — keep the level just above the diffuser, no higher. Lower the top frame back on.
2. Snap the magnetic hose into the connector port on the side of the body.
3. Set your draw — rotate the 4-position diffuser to find your preferred resistance.
4. Place your chosen bowl onto the silicone cone seat — the seal grips any standard bowl type.
5. Top with foil and coconut charcoal, or fit a heat management device on the tray.
6. Insert batteries into the LED housing and press the remote to power on — the chamber backlights the gold engraving and mandala panels from within.
7. Draw to start. Exhale gently into the mouthpiece to purge — smoke vents from beneath the tray in a cascading waterfall.

Care & Maintenance

• Plexiglass inner chamber: after each session, lift the top frame off, empty and rinse with warm water and a soft sponge only. Never use alcohol, abrasives or aggressive chemicals — contact will cause cracks and irreparable damage.
• TiN-coated gold surfaces: wipe with a soft damp cloth, then dry. Titanium-nitride is extremely durable, but avoid scouring pads, steel wool and abrasive cleaners — they're the one thing that can dull the finish over time.
• Gold-anodised aluminium base and matte black mandala panels: wipe with a soft damp cloth, dry, then refit. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives — anodising is bonded into the metal, but abrasive surfaces will still dull it.
• Remove the diffuser to rinse the screen separately.
• Keep the magnetic hose port dry and wipe away any sticky residue.
• LED housing and remote: keep dry, wipe externally only — never submerge.
• Store disassembled in the presentation box when not in regular use.

Questions, Answered

Is the gold finish real gold?

No — it's titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied to the stainless steel functional hardware, and gold anodising on the aluminium base. TiN is a hard ceramic compound used industrially on cutting tools, surgical instruments and luxury watches because it's significantly more wear- and scratch-resistant than untreated stainless, and finishes with a warm bronze-toned gold hue. Anodising on the aluminium base bonds the gold colour into the surface of the metal rather than painting it on top — it won't chip or peel.

How does the EXZO Gold differ from the standard EXZO and the other limited editions?

The engineering is identical across the line — same SMART shaft, same waterfall purge, same 4-position diffuser, same LED-illuminated plexiglass chamber. The differences are in the outer skin and surface finish: standard EXZO is bare stainless with a graphic-line tray; Panelka has the cityscape skin; Tribal Black runs an anodised aluminium shell with 3D flame relief; the Gold runs titanium-nitride coating across every stainless component, with a gold-anodised aluminium base, matte black lotus mandala side panels and a gold cut-out coal mesh. The Gold is the most ornate edition in the Smart Box line.

Are the lotus mandala skin panels removable?

Yes. The panels are a designer skin that sits around the plexiglass chamber, with a foam-padded inner surface so they slide on and off without scratching the body. Run them on for the full lotus-mandala effect, or strip them off to run the bare TiN-coated EXZO Gold chassis with the LED-lit chamber on full display.

Is the top frame removable for water filling?

Yes. The lotus mandala top tray frame lifts off vertically — that's how you fill the plexiglass chamber with water. The gold cut-out coal mesh can also be lifted out separately and used as a coal rest beside the hookah while you shape or rotate charcoal during the session.

Does the gold finish need special care?

Titanium nitride is one of the most durable decorative coatings available — wear-, scratch- and corrosion-resistant by design. Keep cleaning the same as the rest of the unit: warm water and a soft cloth, never alcohol or abrasives on the plexiglass chamber, soft cloth on the gold surfaces. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool and the finish will hold up to years of regular sessions.

How limited is this edition?

Genuinely limited. We bring the Gold edition into Australia directly because we wanted it on this market. Production runs are at Alpha's discretion, not ours, and restock timing depends on what's available from the factory.

Does it include a bowl, charcoal or HMD?

No. The EXZO Gold ships complete — body, shaft, LED with remote, hose with gold mouthpiece, lotus-engraved tray, gold mesh, diffuser and bowl seal — but the bowl and heat source are your choice. For replacement hoses or compatible accessories, see our mouthpieces and hoses collection.

We ship worldwide from Melbourne, Australia. Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm AEST.
