  • What are key features to look for in a quality hookah?
    If you are looking to buy a hookah keep the following tips in mind: Single hose hookahs smoke, arguably, better than a multiple hose hookahs Medium size hookahs often smoke much better than very small or very large hookahs A washable hose is easier to maintain than a traditional hookah Thick glass and a sturdy shape are very important for the vase Look for clean welds and avoid screw together parts Avoid any hookah that uses plastic
  • I’m not getting enough smoke, what am I doing wrong?
    This can have many reasons. The most common problem is not packing the tobacco right, or not making the holes (in the aluminum foil) the right way. Make sure that the hookah is completely sealed. Poor seals are the death of a good session because they let air into the system from points other than the bowl.
  • The smoke is harsh, what am I doing wrong?
    This means that the tobacco is burning. You may need less heat. Either remove some coal or remove the wind cover. The bowl may also be over packed and the tobacco could be touching the foil and burning.
  • How should I clean my hookah?
    Take every part of the hookah apart. Traditional hoses should be cleared of all smoke and hung out to dry. Rinse washable hoses and blow out as much water as you can. Hang it over a closet pole so that it can dry properly. Use a hookah brush and hot water for a thorough cleaning on the stem. Same thing for the vase.
  • How often should I clean my hookah?
    You should clean your hookah quite often. It is important that you clean it right after smoking and not before your next smoke. Otherwise, the smell and remainder of the previous smoke stays inside the hookah and makes it much harder to remove. If you smoke only similar flavors from this one hookah you can wait longer before the flavors will conflict.
  • What size bowl should I buy?
    Size of the hookah bowl depends mostly on the length of time you want to smoke. The Tangiers large funnel bowl can, reportedly, smoke for 12 hours. The Crown Hookah mini classic bowl lasts for about an hour but takes a minuscule amount of tobacco and only one piece of charcoal. There are countless size variations between these two and there are even some freaky bowls that can handle 250 grams of tobacco. It really depends on the kind of session you want.
  • What are the age requirements when buying a hookah?
    We follow all local, state, and federal laws associated with the sale of tobacco products. Therefore, you must be at least 21 years of age or older to be eligible to purchase any hookahs, flavored tobacco, or other accessories listed on our website.
