An electronic hookah bowl (e-hookah bowl) may be used with a conventional hookah by replacing the conventional hookah bowl with the e-hookah bowl. The e-hookah bowl has a housing and a control circuit comprising a controller configured to control operation of the e-hookah bowl disposed within the housing. An air-flow sensor having a sensor surface is operably coupled to the control circuit. The air-flow sensor is configured to provide a signal to the control circuit upon detection of air-flow across the sensor surface. A power source is operably coupled to the controller. An LED band is disposed around at least a portion of the housing and is operatively coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to light the LED band upon receipt of a signal from the air-flow sensor indicating air- flow across the sensor surface.
