Hookah Accessories to Enhance Your Smoking Experience

By John McCree


After purchasing a hookah, if you wish to improve you smoking experience then you should buy some hookah accessories. Some people keep their hookahs straightforward with the only the components that are necessary. Some people prefer to add accessories to their hookahs, things such as covers to prevent wind from blowing off the charcoal or devices that cool the smoke before you inhale it. Here are some commonly used accessories that you can add to your hookah to make it look better or to make it work better.

Hookah Hose - It seems that a hookah hose is self explanatory. But, there is something more that you should know about a hookah hose. The very first thing is that there are two basic types of hookah hoses namely washable and non-washable. A non washable hose is cleaned by blowing air through it, while a washable hose can be cleaned with water. Non-washable hose offers a potent taste of the tobacco. Some people think that it will boost the taste, while some find it irritating. Many people complain about the washable hose that it gives a slight plastic taste. Using baking soda and lemon juice to wash the hose can fix the plastic taste of the washable hose. If you plan on buying a non-washable hose, remember to take good care of it since they tend to become rusty (they are usually made out of metal). There are different lengths, colors and widths of hoses. The width, length and color depend on what you like. One thing that you should ensure is that the hose is kept clean.

Hookah Tongs - If you have your own hookah, then hookah tongs are a necessity! These tongs can be found in various sizes and shapes but all serve exactly 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 hands. Most of the tongs have a small metal rod meant to poke holes in the foil.

Charcoal Carriers - A charcoal carrier is used to move charcoal around without droping embers on the floor. Because a hookah user needs to move a lot of burning charcoal, it is a superb hookah accessory. It is also convenient for holding a number of coals, so that when one coal burns out on your hookah, the coal can be replaced without interruption. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are designed with a high handle

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

Hookah Base Light - Are you hosting a gathering and want your hookah to be the center of attention? This flat round platform rests beneath the vase and shines 5 LED colored lights into the water in programmed changing patterns.

Hookah Wind Covers - Using the hookah cover indoors controls the burn rate of the hot coals and prevents the shisha mixture in the dish from getting too hot, enabling you to have a smoother longer smoking time. Smoking outdoors, you can utilize the hookah cover to stop wind from ruining your shisha sessions.

Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - If people are sharing one shisha, then it is important to use these mouthpieces to avoid passing germs. It's very simple to place on and take off these mouthpieces. There are two basic types of mouthpieces on the market, whistle style and tent style

Hookah Grommets - If you don't want the smoke to escape from joints of the hookah, then you must get hookah grommets. You can buy these in a set or individually. The set includes all three grommets for attaching parts (stem, hose and bowl). Grommets are size specific, so be sure to choose the size that is appropriate for your Hookah.

Hookah Rotating Stand: To pass the hookah hose around easily, you can put a rotating stand beneath the hookah. When selecting a rotating hookah stand, make sure the size is appropriate to hold your hookah firmly in place.

Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a steel screen that is utilized in place of aluminum foil to carry the charcoal. It is reusable. It is a practical substitute for using aluminum foil without needing to poke holes in it for air flow. It is easy to set this screen for use.

Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - This multiple hookah head allows you to mix two or three flavors in each bowl for a tasty boost! You can even use the same flavor in every head for that extra long hookah session with buddies.

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