After Buying A Hookah, You Need Accessories

By John McCree


After purchasing a hookah, if you wish to improve you smoking experience then you should purchase some hookah accessories. Some individuals like their hookahs straightforward just the way they purchased, only with the basic and key components. A few prefer to add accessories to their hookahs, things such as covers to stop wind from blowing off the coals or devices that chill the smoke before you inhale it. Here is a comprehensive list of accessories that you can add to your hookah for fashion or for function.

Hookah Hose - It might seem that a hookah hose is pretty self explanatory. However, there is something more that you should know about a hookah hose. The first thing is that there are two fundamental varieties of hookah hoses namely washable and non-washable. A non washable hose is cleaned by blowing air through it, whereas a washable hose can be washed with water. Non-washable hose offers a strong taste of the tobacco. For some individuals strong flavor is just irritating while a few say that it boosts the taste. Many people complain about the washable hose that it provides a slight plastic taste. Using baking soda and lemon juice to wash the hose can fix the plastic taste of the washable hose. Non washable hoses are usually made with metal and it is crucial that you take good care of this hose as it can become rusty. There are different lengths, colors and widths of hoses. It is all a question of choice when you choose your hose but be sure to keep the maintenance rules in mind when you make your decision!

Hookah Tongs - Hookah tongs are more or less a compulsory accessory for all hookah owners. These tongs come in a variety of sizes and shapes but all serve the same purpose, which is to transport 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 which you can use to poke holes in the aluminum foil over the hookah to enhance your smoking experience.

Charcoal Carriers - The charcoal carrier is great for moving charcoal from place to place while eliminating the risk of dropping embers on the carpet or floor. It is also convenient for holding a number of coals, so that when one coal burns out on your hookah, the coal can be exchanged without interruption. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are designed with a high handle

Ice Hose Tips - Hoses with removable mouthpieces can use these tips. These water packets look like cubes when they are frozen. The smoke is chilled as it goes through this hose. Great to enjoy a hookah on a hot day.

Hookah Base Light - Hookah base light is an accessory only for fashion and not for function. This flat circular platform sits beneath the vase and shines 5 LED colored lights in the water in programmed changing patterns.

Hookah Wind Covers - Using the hookah cover inside regulates the burn rate of the coals and stops the shisha mix in the bowl from getting too hot, enabling you to have a smoother longer smoking time. Used outside, the hookah cover will prevent the wind from interfering with your smoking sessions.

Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - Hookah Mouthpieces are highly recommended when sharing a hookah to avoid passing germs from one friend to another. It is very simple to put on and remove these mouthpieces. There are two basic forms of mouthpieces on the market, whistle style and tent style

Hookah Grommets - A Hookah Grommet Set is the only foolproof way to keep your hookah airtight while in use, and in better condition through the years. You can purchase these in a set or separately. A set consists of three grommets, one for each, the stem, the hose and the bowl. When choosing a grommet, you should ensure that it fits your hookah.

Hookah Rotating Stand: To pass the hookah hose around easily, you can put a rotating stand beneath the hookah. The stand rotates a full 360 in either directions and comes in different sizes to securely hold your hookah.

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

Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - Using a multiple hookah head, you can mix multiple flavors by using different flavors in every bowl. If you use the same flavor in every bowl, then you will get a more powerful taste and longer lasting smoking session.

When you purchase a hookah, there are a lot of accessories that you can buy with it. A few can be used for adornment while others can be used for function. A lot of people smoke hookah regularly. If you are one of such people then you should spend a little time to decorate your hookah.
