Alpha Hookah Smart Box EXZO - Tribal Black

The Smart EXZO Tribal Black is Alpha Hookah's blacked-out 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 outer skin: a deep matte anodised aluminium side shell with 3D laser-cut tribal flame relief rising around the chamber, and a tribal-style radiating engraving across the top tray frame paired with a sculptural black tribal-flame cut-out coal mesh. Marketed by Alpha as the grunge-art edition. 3D Tribal Flame Side Shell · Anodised Aluminium · Grunge-Art Edition Alpha Hookah Smart EXZO Tribal Black Anodised Aluminium Shisha Pipe. Why The Tribal Black Anodised aluminium outer side shell finished deep matte black — corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and the kind of uniform matte you only get from anodising. The colour is bonded into the surface, not painted on top, so it won't chip or peel. Removable 3D laser-cut tribal flame skin panels in relief — raised flame motifs wrap the plexiglass chamber, casting their own shadows when the LED lights from within. Slip the shell off entirely (foam-padded inner surface protects the chamber when fitted) or run the bare body. Tribal-style radiating engraving across the top tray frame, paired with a sculptural black tribal-flame cut-out coal mesh insert — the tray reads as its own piece of art before the bowl even goes on. Silver stainless steel shaft, magnetic connector and diffuser visible inside — industrial silver-on-black contrast against the matte aluminium shell. Same SMART engineering as every EXZO — integrated LED with remote, waterfall purge, 4-position adjustable diffuser, magnetic hose port, bubble catcher, fixed silicone cone bowl seal. Modular build — the tribal shell lifts off the chamber, the top tray frame lifts off for water filling, and the removable coal mesh doubles as a separate coal rest off the unit. Compact format — 19.7 cm assembled, 13 mm shaft. Same footprint as the rest of the Smart Box line, but lighter thanks to the aluminium shell. Complete Your Session Everything for a session, just add a bowl. The Tribal Black arrives complete — plexiglass chamber, stainless steel inner shaft, anodised aluminium tribal flame shell, LED with remote, silicone hose with mouthpiece handle, tribal-engraved top tray frame, sculptural cut-out coal mesh insert, 4-position diffuser, magnetic hose port, silicone bowl seal and grommets. The fixed silicone cone seat accepts any standard phunnel or traditional clay bowl, and the tray works equally well with charcoal-and-foil or a modern heat management device. → Browse Compatible Bowls Specifications Brand Alpha Hookah Model Smart Box Body Variant EXZO Tribal Black (limited edition) Inner Chamber Plexiglass (cubic, top-opening for water fill) Outer Shell Anodised aluminium (matte black) with removable 3D laser-cut tribal flame skin panels in relief; foam-padded inner surface Tray Design Tribal-style radiating engraving with sculptural cut-out coal mesh Shaft Height (alone) 16.2 cm Body Height (assembled) 19.7 cm Inner Shaft Diameter 13 mm Tray Diameter 11.4 cm Materials Anodised aluminium (outer shell, tribal flame panels, mouthpiece handle), stainless steel (inner shaft, base connector plate, bowl cone, tray, tray mesh, diffuser, magnetic port, mouthpiece tube), plexiglass (inner water chamber), polyacetal (shaft base, bubble catcher, magnetic connector internal, LED housing), silicone (mouthpiece cover, hose, bowl seal) Diffuser Stainless steel, 4-position adjustable, removable Purge System Waterfall (vents from beneath the tray) Hose Connection Magnetic LED Built-in EXZO body backlight with remote control (batteries not included) Bubble Catcher Yes (100% hose water protection) Bowl Seat Fixed silicone cone — fits all bowl types Country of Origin Russia (St. Petersburg) SKU ALPHA-SMART-TRIBAL In The Box Alpha Hookah SMART stainless steel inner shaft assembly Plexiglass inner water chamber Removable anodised aluminium EXZO Tribal Black outer shell with 3D laser-cut tribal flame relief (foam-padded inner surface) Built-in LED backlight Remote control for LED Removable tribal-engraved top tray frame Sculptural black tribal-flame cut-out coal mesh insert (doubles as a separate coal rest) Soft Touch silicone hose with Alpha Hookah logo Stainless steel mouthpiece with anodised aluminium handle Removable 4-position diffuser Magnetic hose connector Silicone bowl seal (universal cone) Silicone grommets Branded presentation box Not included: Bowl, heat management device, charcoal, and LED batteries. → Choose a compatible bowl 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 tray. Hose: proprietary magnetic port; the included Soft Touch silicone hose is the recommended pairing. How To Use 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. Snap the magnetic hose into the connector port on the side of the body. Set your draw — rotate the 4-position diffuser to find your preferred resistance. Place your chosen bowl onto the silicone cone seat — the seal grips any standard bowl type. Top with foil and coconut charcoal, or fit a heat management device on the tray. Insert batteries into the LED housing and press the remote to power on — light filters through the negative space of the tribal flame cut-outs for a backlit silhouette effect. 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. Anodised aluminium outer shell and tribal panels: wipe with a soft damp cloth, then dry. Avoid scouring pads, steel wool and abrasive cleaners — they're the one thing that can dull the matte finish over time. A soft brush works well for any dust that settles in the cut-outs. Wipe the stainless steel inner shaft, bowl cone, tray and mesh with a damp cloth once cooled. 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. For plexiglass-safe cleaners and bore brushes, see our cleaning essentials collection. Questions, Answered Why does the Tribal Black use anodised aluminium for the shell? It's the material that delivers the finish. Anodising bonds the colour into the surface of aluminium rather than coating it on top — so the deep, uniform matte black you see won't chip, scratch off or peel like paint or powder-coat eventually does. Aluminium is also lighter than stainless steel, so the Tribal Black ends up as one of the lighter editions in the Smart Box line despite the heavier visual presence. The functional core inside the shell — the stainless steel shaft, diffuser, bowl cone and magnetic port — is identical to the rest of the Smart Box line. How does the Tribal Black differ from the other Smart Box editions? The outer skin. The standard EXZO and Panelka use stainless steel shells; the Gold runs titanium-nitride coating across stainless components with matte black lotus mandala side panels; the Tribal Black uses an anodised aluminium shell with 3D laser-cut tribal flame skin panels in relief, plus a tribal-style radiating engraving and matching cut-out coal mesh on the tray. Same SMART shaft, waterfall purge, 4-position diffuser, magnetic port and LED system inside. A different visual language — grungier, sculptural, completely blacked out. Are the tribal flame skin panels removable? Yes. The whole anodised aluminium outer shell lifts off the plexiglass chamber, with a foam-padded inner surface so it slips on and off without scratching the body. Run it on for the full tribal-flame effect, or strip it off to run the bare blacked-out body with the LED chamber on display. Is the top frame removable for water filling? Yes. The top tray frame lifts off vertically — that's how you fill the plexiglass chamber with water. The tribal-flame 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. How should I care for the anodised aluminium finish? Anodising is one of the most durable surface treatments going — the colour is part of the metal, not a layer on top of it. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and avoid scouring pads, steel wool or abrasive cleaners, and the finish will hold up to years of regular sessions. A soft brush helps for dust that settles into the tribal cut-outs. How limited is this edition? Genuinely limited. We bring the Tribal Black 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 Tribal Black ships complete — body, shaft, LED with remote, hose, mouthpiece, tribal-engraved tray with sculptural coal 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.
