Now that you have purchased your own hookah, you are likely thinking what accessories you should buy to further improve your experience. Some prefer to keep their hookahs basic and straightforward - base, stem, hose, tray, bowl and tong. There are others who like to add accessories to their hookahs for example devices to chill the smoke and stands that rotate the hookah for convenient passing of the hose. If you are looking for ways to pimp your hookah, whether it is for function or fashion, have a look at a few of these great accessories!
Hookah Hose - You might think that a hookah hose is pretty self explanatory. There is however, more to it than you imagine! There are two types of hoses; washable and non-washable A washable hose can be washed with water, while the non-washable is blown through and shook instead. Non-washable hose offers a potent flavor of the tobacco. Some individuals feel that it will boost the taste, while some think it is bothersome. Many people complain about the washable hose that it provides a slight plastic taste. This issue can be fixed by cleaning the hose with lemon juice and baking soda. The non-washable hose can become rusty since it is made of metal and so you should clean it regularly and thoroughly. There are various lengths, colors and widths of hoses. The width, length and color depend on what you prefer. Something that you should make sure is that the hose is kept clean.
Hookah Tongs - If you have your personal hookah, then hookah tongs are a necessity! These tongs can be found in a number of shapes and sizes 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 fingers. If you spend a bit more, you can buy a hookah tong with a metal rod which you can use 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. Since a hookah user has to move a lot of burning charcoal, it is a great hookah accessory. It is also convenient for holding a number of charcoals, so that when one coal burns out on your hookah, the coal can be replaced without interruption. They are designed with a high handle to keep your hand away from the heat.
Ice Hose Tips - These tips work with hoses, which have a removable mouthpiece. These water packets look like ice cubes when they are frozen. As the smoke moves through the tip and comes in contact with the frozen water packets, it is chilled to a lower temperature for a smooth and icy experience!
Hookah Base Light - Hookah base light is an accessory just for fashion and not for function. It is a platform, which shines LED lights into the water and is kept under the vase.
Hookah Wind Covers - Indoors this cover can be used to regulate the burn rate of the coal and lets you have a longer smoking period. Smoking outdoors, you can use the hookah cover to stop wind from spoiling your shisha sessions.
Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - If people are sharing one shisha, then it is highly recommended to use these mouthpieces to prevent passing germs. These disposable, plastic mouthpieces fit on the hose's tip and are simple to place on and remove as the hose changes hands. Mouthpieces are available in round as well as flat styles.
Hookah Grommets - A Hookah Grommet Set is the one quick and easy way to keep your hookah airtight during use, and in better condition over the years. You can buy these in a set or individually. The set consists of all three grommets for attaching components (stem, hose and bowl). Grommets are size specific, so be sure to select the size that is right for your Hookah.
Hookah Rotating Stand: A rotating stand is used to pass the hookah hose around quickly. The stand comes in different sizes to securely hold the hookah.
Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a steel screen that is utilized instead of aluminum foil to hold the charcoal. It is reusable. This screen contains holes in it for air flow and you do not have to poke holea as is done with aluminum foil. It greatly decreases setup time to allow for maximum enjoyment of your hookah!
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 each bowl, then you will get a stronger taste and longer lasting smoking session.
These are just a few of the wide array of hookah accessories available on the market. Most of them are both fun and functional. For some people, hookah has become an accessory in their daily life. Haven't you heard about accessorizing your accessory? Don't hesitate to decorate your hookah up!
