I recently bought a hookah. it is about 2 feet tall and has two hoses. the base is green. I would like to personalize it a bit so that I don't have to call it "it." any ideas on a cool name? any names will do but I would prefer female. possibly something egyptian or indian.
go!
I have a hookah with 3 hoses and 2 of the hoses don't pull as well as the other one?
everything is plugged well there are no holes and no air is getting out as far as I know. Is there a reason for this?
u might wanna try getting a piece of tissue paper and wrap it around the part of the hose where u stick it in ur hookah. this will keep it stiff and in place. if it doesnt work, then u need new hoses or worse, a new hookah!
um… what?
I have a hookah with 3 hoses and 2 of the hoses don't pull as well as the other one?
I want to turn a khalil mamoon single hose hookah into a 3 or 4 hose hookah. Can i? and whats the piece called described above?
You can, but its going to look like a homemade piece. Mine as well keep that one hose as a single for personal use, and buy a 3-4 hose hookah. Then it will draw right and everything, plus it wont look like trash.
What is the part of the hookah called that the hoses plug into?
I've never used or owned a hookah before, but I'm turning 18 and I've been browsing for over an hour at different hookahs. I really like the look of the three-hosed hookahs; I don't know why but three looks and sounds like a good number. haha. I'm a student so I don't have alot of money; I'd like to have one under $40.
Are there any reasons why the number of hoses would make a difference in the quality, etc of smoking a hookah?
Also, could you send me any links to CHEAP hookahs, as in hookahs under $40 (preferably 3-hose)
Does it make a difference how many hoses there are on a hookah?
Buying Hookah Accessories doesn’t mean buying cheaply made or unattractive product. Hand-blown glass in shimmering colors, elegantly traced in 21 karat gold, crystal, highly glazed ceramics, cloisonné-decorated brass, and stainless steel worked into graceful curves, and carved wooden pieces all go into the making of a hookah. since part of the joy of hookah smoking is the beauty and aesthetic pleasure of the hookah itself, wholesale hookahs come in a variety of lovely designs only surpassed by expensive custom models. Many hookahs already complete with all the accessories you need to get started. Pay attention to this in relation to cost: If the model is cheap and you have to invest a bunch more money to actually use it, you may want to reconsider your options. most hookahs come with an individual bowl, stem, plate, base, and a hose or hoses in parts that separate for easier cleaning. you may also want to consider a kit containing tongs for your coals, screens, and cleaning brushes. Don’t forget to get a carrying case if you’ll need it, extra rubber stoppers and, of course, hookah tobacco.Specialization of various Shisha Hookah and Hookah products, a premium brand of flavored tobacco because of its unique smoking experience is used primarily by experienced Hookah users. Mixing of different flavors is a terrific experience. the hookah water pipe is imported from the United Arab Emirates and is properly equipped with the Swiss tobacco brand. To shop at Sinbad Hookah one must be at least 18 years old. Freshness and quality is our top priority and we even offer good quality hookah products.Hookah is actually made for socializing. It is often smoked during gatherings or parties where groups of people are involved. This is not for the addictive side of smoking, though any type of smoking is addictive, it is definitely up to the person to control his or her self from being addicted to hookah. Keep in mind that everything done above its limits is not good. So keep smoking in moderation. Also, hookah will give you the best experience in smoking when you follow the etiquette attached to it. even in smoking, you must always treat other people properly and correctly. Hookah is part of a social gathering therefore it is but right to act properly in front of other people. Hookah is best experienced when it is smoked for pleasure and not addiction.

The hose comes in 8 different colors and has a plastic lining in the inside for easy cleaning.
The hose is manufactured by Hookah-Shisha, the same people who bring you Romman tobacco. This hose features large diameter tubing and a detachable mouth piece to ensure easy cleaning and great air flow. the hoses comes in various colors such as black, blue, green, red, orange, purple, turquoise, and yellow, so you have a lot of options, especially if you looking to match the color of your hose to your hookah base.
The size of the hose can make it difficult to use with smaller hookahs such as the Mya QT Hookah. You can easily knock over your hookah if you’re not careful, so it’s recommended to use the Nammor hose with larger more stable hookahs.
Overall this hose is great for anyone who needs a washable hose that will last an untold amount of time. the pulls are effortless and smooth, using the Nammor hose ensures a very enjoyable smoking experience.
You can purchase the Nammor Hookah Hose from Hookah-Shisha for $18.95 (65″) or $21.95 (72″).
Which hookah hits the best? (Small, medium, large?) Does the size of the base determine how much smoke is there? And are there any differences between the types of hookah (Egyptians, Mya, Syrian, etc.) besides how they are made/what they are made of, like does one hit better than another? And finally, does the number of hoses affect how well the hookah hit?
I've been looking up hookahs in hookah-shisha.com and saharasmoke.com and etc. and basically got very confused/overwhelmed between all the types and differences between all of them lol.
Thank you!!
I smoke hookah all the time and I own five of them. My smaller one, for some reason, hits a lot better than my bigger ones. I have a double hose hookah and I will tell you that when two people hit at the same time its a LOT harder to hit and you don't get as much smoke. I'm not sure the difference between the types, I didn't know there where many types and I'm not sure what mine are. I hope I helped a little.
Although there are many different schools of thought on how exactly one should smoke a Hookah, Shisha or Narghile, many of them are correct all at the same time. here are some steps for setting up a "proper" hookah to receive a pleasant smoking experience. try experimenting with your own process, not all hookahs are exactly the same, what with varying sizes and use of material, so find something that works for you.
Start by putting water in the vase filling it 1-2 inches above the tip of the shaft that goes down into the vase. you can put ice in the vase if you want, this will make the smoke cooler and thicker. When packing the bowl, pack it semi-loose, don't over pack, it's best to keep it to a smaller amount, but don't under-pack as the heat from the coal will quickly char a shallow layer of shisha tobacco rather than slowly cooking it.
Light the coal, depending on the type of coal being used, you may want more than one. Quick-light coals should be lit when needed, whereas natural wood coals need time to heat and should be lit 5 minutes or so prior to their being needed. a word of warning here, be sure to use coals that are specifically made for hookah smoking and not barbequing; otherwise, you will get very sick.
Put foil over the top of the bowl, shiny side down. keep the foil tight as wrinkles somewhat distort the heat distribution. Poke about 15-20 holes with a toothpick (or anything with the same diameter).
Blow through the hose to clean out any dust or particles that may have settled, don't wash the hose unless you know that it is washable.
Light up the coal and take a few drags to get it going. The pull should be consistent to trying to drink a milkshake. move the coal as necessary to avoid burning or charring either the shisha or the foil.
Hookah smoke should be thick and white, such smoke indicates you have prepped and are smoking the Hookah correctly.
If the smoke ever becomes harsh, check the foil for signs of burning and make sure you've packed the bowl with the proper density of shisha tobacco.
A well packed bowl with good tobacco can last you a good 45 minutes, perhaps 30 minutes with some friends. The coals might last from 20 minutes up to an hour depending on type and brand.
Try different flavours and brands of shisha tobacco, some give you a much more pleasant and thick smoke than others.
Try different brands of shisha tobacco to find the one that you like best at a reasonable price, but don't be afraid to buy more expensive brands of the tobacco, particularly for special occasions.
Feel free to mix different flavors together, mixing and matching flavors is one of the great joys of a true hookah aficionado. a few suggestions we can offer you would be apple-mango, banana-mango-pineapple, and lemon-mint.
To help in providing an even burn and avoid foil burn, try breaking the coal up into smaller pieces, place them on the outer edges and rotate them around the bowl while moving them steadily inwards. It can be a little tricky to break the coal up evenly but is definitely worth the time and effort.
If you run out of shisha tobacco, or just want to try something new, mix some pipe tobacco with honey, and smoke it instead of shisha tobacco(Note: this will not taste nor smoke like regular shisha tobacco). If you want to make your own, check out the related wikiHow on how to make apple tobacco.
Cutting up the tobacco may help a lot in packing the bowl correctly and maintaining an even burn, use a simple pair of kitchen shears. Not too fine or the tobacco will fall in through the holes of the bowl and can occasionally clog up the stem.
If the tobacco is dry, revive it by adding some honey or molasses to it and mixing it in, good when you're in a bind.
To clean your hookah, dip a rag into vinegar and push it through the stem with the lower half of a fishing pole or other stick. As for the vase, soaking it with warm water and soap for a bit, as well as a very thorough rinsing afterwards is your best bet. clean the stem around once a week and the vase once a month or so.
For any of you who want to elevate your hookah experience, here's a tip: try using a piece of fruit for a bowl (such as an apple or an orange). It definitely boosts the flavour and, surprisingly enough, the session tends to last longer than it would with a traditional clay bowl. Here's a step by step guide:
find a circular fruit such as an apple, mango, orange or whatever you can get your hands on.
Cut the top of the fruit off and leave about 3/4 of the fruit.
Dig into the fruit with a spoon till about 1/4 of the fruit is left intact. (leaving the sides thicker would be ideal for better taste and a better burn).
Use either a corkscrew or any sharp and thin object to force a hole in the bottom.
Now, within the core of the fruit, poke many holes through the hole in the bottom to make the smoke holes. the more you make, the easier it'll be to suck in later on.
Stick the fruit on the stem, pack the fruit with shisha tobacco, and cover with foil.
For a different smoking experience, try using a glass bowl and screen. using a glass screen between the tobacco and the coals eliminates the need for tinfoil, making things slightly simpler.
People have gone to great lengths to make the ultimate hookah, but it's really no further than your local market. Pick up some juice, apple, grape, fruit punch, any mix you want or can think of. while you're there, pick up some produce to, a small melon, an orange, lemon, lime, apple, orany of the softer, smaller fruits will do. you might as well pick up some ice, too, while you're at it, unless, of course, you have an ice maker at the house.
Now unpack your hookah, pack the bowl, or if you're feeling particularly industrious, carve the apple from the middle out into a cone, leaving the outside and the skin intact. Instead of using the porcelain bowl, use the apple. just sprinkle some tobacco in it and proceed as normal, foil, coals, etcetera. next, empty the juice you bought into the case to the point where you'd normally fill it with water. If you think it might be too strong, you can dilute it to desired strength. for those of legal drinking age, you can put cheap liquor in the base for an added buzz, but beware, it is intoxicating, so make sure you're not driving.
Slice up your fruit, drop a couple of pieces in the base, and throw some ice in there as well. now assemble it, light it up, and prepare to be impressed, though, just as a forewarning, it may take a few sessions to get it just right.
Some of our favorite combinations are V8 Pina Colada with coconut shisha (think tropical), fruit cocktail with fruit punch and a slice of orange, grape with grape or apple or both and a slice of lime or lemon, and last but not least, V8 Pina Colada mixed with rum and coconut shisha.

WILKES-BARRE — Some people may think of hookah lounges as smoke-filled, dingy dives, but one step inside the warm and inviting Crimson Lion Hookah Lounge is like walking into a friend’s home.
The air was clear with a subtle fruity aroma on a recent frigid evening, as four Wilkes University freshman relaxed on a large sofa and overstuffed chairs.
Tapping out a school report on his laptop, 18-year-old Angelo Blades, a computer science major, said he and his friends visit the Crimson Lion, which also serves specialty coffees and Middle Eastern pastries such as baklava, several times a week to study, socialize and share hookah. Blades said the appeal of the lounge is the tranquil environment.
“It’s a place to socialize and it’s relaxing,” he said.
Hookahs are pipes that have a base that holds water. A stem allows smoke to go through with minimal filtration. the pipes have one to three hoses and each user is given his or her own disposable mouthpiece.
Laura Preby, a communications major, celebrated her 19th birthday by sharing the water pipe with her friends. She said she found out about the lounge on Facebook last July.
“We got some coffee and tried some hookah,” she said. “It was fun and we’ve been coming back since.”
Preby and her friends also enjoy playing the many board games stacked on the café’s bookshelves. “everyone here is open-minded and friendly,” she said. “We’ve come here and sat next to people we’ve never met before and started a conversation.”
Owner Michael Pasquini opened his business in June and celebrated his venture with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week. “the place was filled,” he said.
The lounge features live entertainment on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, acoustic guitar performances and occasional open mic nights.
No cigarettes or cigars are allowed in the lounge, said Pasquini, adding that he invested in a filtration system to channel out the smoke from the lounge’s 15 hookahs.
“they smell nice and won’t bother your eyes or clothes,” he said of the hookahs. “they have an aromatic smell,” he said, adding that most have a sweet, minty or fruity aroma and taste.
John Carroll, 19, a communications major, said that because the lounge is within walking distance of Wilkes, he and fellow freshman Jeffrey Homschek, a history major, are frequent visitors.
“Compared to going to a movie, this is relatively cheap,” he said.Pricing varies depending on the number of hoses attached to the hookah and the size of the bowl. the Wilkes group spent $16 on their hookah, which they split three ways.
“on any given day you’ll find a couple of us here,” said Preby.
Hookah smokers will often sit around and talk about the greatest shisha (hookah tobacco) flavors and brands that exist. then, they will move onto hookah sizes and styles from large to small, cheap to unaffordable, colors, hoses, and more. Yet, the most frequently overlooked piece of the hookah smoking experience is in fact what makes the whole thing work. the coal.
Once you sprinkle your shisha/hookah tobacco into your bowl and wrap a nice layer of aluminum foil around it, you will then place this important item on top. This item known as “the coal” will transfer its heat down through the tobacco which will ultimately fill the base with smoke and end up (momentarily) in your lungs. However, its not that simple.
Several types of coal exist in the growing hookah market and a beginner may find it difficult to select the best flame. the most common is the self lighting coals made by three Kings. They are convenient since you can light one up with a Zippo, in the wind, possibly while its raining. However, the same chemicals that make it a quick lighting coal also add (often unwanted) flavors to your hookah smoking experience. thus you exchange taste for convenience.
The next option is the lemon wood or olive wood based “logs” of coal. often times referred to as “natural” coal, these tend to burn cleaner thus eliminating excessive coal flavors. They will not light with a portable flame unless you happen to keep a porto-torch in your glove compartment. Generally, you will require a stove top and a short waiting period. the end result could be well worth it since you won’t be tasting the chemicals of the self lighting coals.
Finally, there is the “charcoal bricks” which are often referred to as “Egyptian coal”. these charcoal bricks are also lemon wood and they resemble random shapes that appear as though you could barbeque with them. They have a long heating period on an average electric stove so you might want to get out that propane camp stove to fire up these coals. the smell of the coals cooking can overwhelm the pleasant smells of your house, so you might want to think twice before cooking coals in your kitchen. despite their dominant heating odors, these coals provide the most flavorless heat source available in the hookah coal market. the charcoal bricks are often large and also burn quickly so don’t clutter your bowl.
Whichever hookah coals you smoke should ultimately depend on your preference and situation. If you are a natural coal smoker at home, it never hurts to keep a box of quick lighting coals around for those last minute trips to the beach.
My hookah has recently started having issues. After cleaning it the hoses seem to pull air straight from the bowl and little of the air goes through the water. we have taken it apart and inspected and cleaned everything but I am very confused as to what could cause the hose lines to somehow be connected to the stem that goes from the bowl to the water.
you put it back together wrong or a tube fell off
look at it closely theres something missing
Hookah Problem – Does not go through water goes straight from bowl to hose.?
