Hookah Accessories to Enhance Your Smoking Experience

By John McCree


After buying a hookah, if you wish to enhance you smoking experience then you should purchase some hookah accessories. Some individuals like their hookahs straightforward exactly the way they purchased, only with the essential and key components. Some people like to add accessories to their hookahs, such things as covers to prevent wind from blowing off the charcoal or devices that cool the smoke before you inhale it. If you are searching for ways to pimp your hookah, whether it is for function or fashion, check out some of these great accessories!

Hookah Hose - It seems that a hookah hose is self explanatory. But, there is something more that you should know about a hookah hose. There are two kinds of hoses; washable and non-washable A non washable hose is cleaned by blowing air through it, whilst a washable hose is washed with water. Non-washable hoses usually maintain the flavor of the strong tobacco flavor. For some people strong flavor is simply irritating while some point out that it enhances the taste. Some complain that the washable hose gives a faint "plastic taste". Using baking soda and lemon juice to wash the hose can deal with the plastic taste of the washable hose. The non-washable hose can become rusty since it is made of metal and so you should clean it regularly and thoroughly. Hookah hoses are available in a variety of widths, lengths and shades. These three things depend on your individual preference. When you purchase a hookah hose make sure to clean it frequently so that it functions efficiently.

Hookah Tongs - Hookah tongs are a must once you buy your own hookah. These tongs are available in a variety of sizes and shapes but all serve exactly 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 fingers. Many of the tongs have a small metal rod designed to poke holes in the foil.

Charcoal Carriers - The charcoal carrier is great for moving charcoal around while eliminating the risk of dropping embers on the carpet or floor. You can also hold several coals in a carrier so that as soon as one coal burns out, you can quickly change it. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are built with a high handle

Ice Hose Tips - Hoses with removable mouthpieces can use these tips. These water packets look like ice when they are frozen. When the smoke from the hose touches this tip, the smoke's temperature is dropped and it provides an icy experience.

Hookah Base Light - A hookah base light will make sure that everybody notices your hookah. It is a circular platform that shines light in water when kept beneath the vase.

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

Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - If people are sharing one shisha, then it is strongly recommended to use these mouthpieces to prevent passing germs. You just need to push it on when you get the hose and pull it off when you are passing the hose to the next friend. Mouthpieces can be found in round as well as flat styles.

Hookah Grommets - A Hookah Grommet Set is the one foolproof way to keep your hookah airtight during use, and in better condition over the years. These are found in a set as well as separately. There are three grommets in a set. When choosing a grommet, you should ensure that it fits your hookah.

Hookah Rotating Stand: A rotating stand can be used to pass the hookah hose around easily. The stand rotates a complete 360 in either directions and is available in different sizes to properly hold your hookah.

Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a reusable stainless steel charcoal screen utilized in place of aluminum foil to hold the hot charcoal. It is a practical alternative to using aluminum foil without needing to poke holes in it for air flow. It is quite simple to use and the setup time is minimized.

Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - If you want to combine different flavors then this is the perfect accessory for you. You can combine multiple flavors using a multiple hookah head by putting different flavors in every bowl.

Clearly, there are a plethora of accessories to buy with your hookah! These accessories can be used for fun as well as function. For many, hookah has become an accessory in their daily life. Haven't you heard of accessorizing your accessory? Don't hesitate to dress your hookah up!
