11 Great Hookah Accessories

By John McCree


After buying a hookah, if you want to boost you smoking experience then you should buy some hookah accessories. Some keep their hookahs simple with the just the parts that are necessary. There are other people who prefer to add accessories to their hookahs for example devices to cool down the smoke and stands that rotate the hookah for easy passing of the hose. If you are looking for ways to pimp your hookah, whether it is for function or fashion, take a look at a few of these great accessories!

Hookah Hose - The term hookah hose seems to fully explain this item. There is however, more to it than you imagine! There are two kinds of hoses; washable and non-washable Water can be used to wash a washable hose, whereas a non washable hose can only be cleaned by blowing air through it. Non-washable hose provides a potent taste of the tobacco. Some express that the non-washable hose increases the taste although some say that it makes the taste bothersome. Many individuals complain about the washable hose that it gives a faint plastic taste. But you can solve this issue by washing the hookah hose out with a lime juice and sodium bicarbonate mix. Non washable hoses are usually made out of metal and it is important to take great care of this hose as it can become rusty. You can find hoses in various lengths and widths. Different colors are also available. The width, length and color depend on what you prefer. Something that you need to make sure is that the hose is kept clean.

Hookah Tongs - Hookah tongs are a must when you purchase your own hookah. These tongs are available in various sizes and shapes but all serve the same purpose, which is to carry the charcoal onto your shisha head and move the charcoal around the top of the shisha head, all without burning your fingertips. If you spend a little more, you can buy a hookah tong with a metal rod that can be used to poke holes in the foil over the hookah to enhance your smoking experience.

Charcoal Carriers - A charcoal carrier can be used to move charcoal from place to place without droping embers on the floor. Because a hookah user needs to move a lot of burning charcoal, it is a fantastic hookah accessory. You can also keep several coals in a carrier so that as soon as one coal burns out, you can easily change it. They are built with a high handle to keep your hand away from the heat.

Ice Hose Tips - These tips work with hoses that have a detachable mouthpiece. They are non-toxic packets of water tat like ice cubes while frozen. When the smoke from the hose touches this tip, the smoke's temperature is decreased and it offers an icy experience.

Hookah Base Light - Are you hosting a party and want your hookah to be the center of focus? It is a platform that shines LEDs into the water and is kept below the vase.

Hookah Wind Covers - If used indoor the hookah wind cover prevents the shisha mix in the dish from getting too hot as it regulates the burn rate of the coal and so lets you delight in longer smoking time. Smoking outside, you can utilize the hookah cover to prevent wind from spoiling your shisha sessions.

Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - If your friends are coming over for a "shisha time" and you've got just one shisha then you can use these mouthpieces in order to prevent passing germs from one to another. It is very simple to put on and take off these mouthpieces. Mouthpieces can be found in round as well as flat designs.

Hookah Grommets - If you don't want the smoke to exit from joints of the hookah, then you must get hookah grommets. These are available in a set as well as separately. A set consists of three grommets, one for each, the stem, the hose and the bowl. Grommets are size specific, so be sure you select the size that is right for your Hookah.

Hookah Rotating Stand: This is a metal rotating stand that lets you pass the hookah hose around easily. The stand comes in several sizes to firmly hold the hookah.

Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a stainless steel screen which is used in place of aluminum foil to carry the charcoal. It is reusable. It is a practical alternative to using aluminum foil without needing to poke holes in it for air flow. You can easily set this screen for use.

Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - If you like to mix different flavors then this is an ideal accessory for you. You can mix multiple flavors using a multiple hookah head by pouring different flavors in each bowl.

Once you buy a hookah, there are plenty of accessories that you can purchase with it. Many of them are both fun and functional. For many, hookah has become an accessory in their life. Haven't you heard of accessorizing your accessory? Don't be afraid to dress your hookah up!
