1. A hookah device for use with a hookah having an elongate stem and a water chamber with a first end of the stem attached to the water chamber, the hookah device comprising:
a plurality of ultrasonic mist generator devices which are each provided with a respective mist outlet port, the mist generating devices aerosolizing a liquid to generate a mist including droplets of the liquid, the mist having a droplet volume wherein at least a portion of the droplets of the aerosolized liquid have a size that is less than one micron (1 μm);
a driver device which is connected electrically to each of the mist generator devices and configured to activate the mist generator devices, wherein each mist generator device is releasably attached to the driver device so that each mist generator device is separable from the driver device; and
a hookah attachment arrangement which is configured to attach the hookah device to a second end of the stem of the hookah, the hookah attachment arrangement having a hookah outlet port which provides a fluid flow path from the mist outlet ports of the mist generator devices and out of the hookah device such that, when at least one of the mist generator devices is activated by the driver device, mist generated by aerosolizing the liquid by each activated mist generator device flows along the fluid flow path and out of the hookah device to the hookah.
