How you can Use A Hookah

Hookah smoking has caught up in a big way across the United States and it is now typical to find a nearby cafe or deli serving up the smoking pleasure to customers. Also referred to as shisha or narghile, the practice has spread from the Middle East and Asia where generations of hookah smoking enthusiasts have for centuries grown to love this quaint smoking pipe. And you are able to enjoy the same experience as there are hookah variants that use tobacco-free, fruit flavored variants to suit the wholesome conscious customer.


If you would adore to appreciate hookah with friends you will find variants of the pipe that offer more than 1 mouthpiece. Whatever your taste, the process of obtaining your hookah ready is fairly straightforward and even if you have only just bought your hookah set, getting it ready for your first smoking session should prove easy. Here are the materials you will need in addition to the hookah: the tobacco (or a fruit flavored variant), tongs, lighter, tinfoil, toothpick, water and coals.

Pull the hookah stem out of the glass vase it's affixed to and fill the vase halfway with clean water. Replace the stem taking care to make sure the pipe is submerged about an inch into the water. You'll then set the bowl on top of the stem and ensure it fits snugly. Break up the shisha and let it lightly fill the bowl almost to the brim. Do not press the tobacco at all as there should be enough air space inside the contents of the bowl. If your hookah comes fitted with a metal tray, attach it to the leading of the bowl. If there's no tray supplied, you'll need to improvise utilizing the tinfoil. Poke numerous holes on the foil using a toothpick.

Within the package that the hookah came in, you will find a packet of instant-light coals which you can hold with tongs and light effortlessly with a lighter. Place the coals on the tray or foil as soon as they are correctly lit. If there are no instant-light coals, you are able to purchase some in the same smoke shop you bought the hookah at. Otherwise, get some hot ones from a barbeque and they'll much more than suffice.

Using the hookah correctly lit, you can enjoy a relaxing and meditative session of sweet smelling tobacco mellowed off its normal harsh smell by the water. You may need to suck tough in the hose during the first couple of minutes of your hookah session to ensure the coals are burning adequately.
