I've never been to a hookah bar or lounge. but I read about it on the internet and I was wondering when you smoke from a hookah, are you putting your mouth on the same mouthpiece that everyone had put there mouth on to smoke out of it. How does that work.

They usually have these plastic mouthpieces for every person that way you all don't have to smoke out of the same mouth piece.

yea they usually provide you with it
but when i do it at home with my own hookah i dont use that since i dont get disgusted by my friends and family
but at that lounge you dont know who was using it before you right?

After about the second toke who cares LOL

When you go to a hookah lounge and smoke from a hookah do you use the same mouthpiece that everyone uses?

The body, or govde, of a hookah pipe consists of a curved vessel which holds water. A graceful stem rises from the body and at the top of the stem is a bowl, or lle, which holds the tobacco. from one to several flexible hoses, the marpuc, with a mouthpiece, or agizlik, at the end, are used to draw the hookah smoke down through the water. The hookah tobacco is heated by charcoal and the water filters and cools the smoke. The water gurgles gently, like a woodland stream, and, in the process, makes the smoke smooth and cool. The word shisha, which is often another word for hookah, comes from the Persian meaning glass or bottle. Hookahs and the culture of hookah smoking is often referred to as hookah shisha. somewhat confusingly, at first, people also refer to hookah tobacco as shisha, or hookah shisha–and there is a Shisha brand of hookah shisha! a one-stop shop for all your Hookah shisha smoking needs. we offer quality products at the best prices available online.

Hookah pipes today come in many styles, from Egyptian to Syrian, traveling, mini and mod models to specialty and custom designs. There is a world of history in the craftsmanship of hookah pipes. Traditional materials used in making hookahs were blown glass, often highly decorated in gold or enamel painting, brass, aluminum, silver, porcelain, clay, carved stone and wood, and leather. All these same materials are used today, with the addition of stainless steel, Pyrex glass, plastic, rubber, and high quality acrylics, among others. In restaurants and smoking lounges, individually wrapped, disposable plastic mouthpieces are provided for each smoker. Other accoutrements of the hookah pipe and tobacco include the hookah charcoal and metal tongs. The charcoal is typically in coin-sized pieces and each lasts for about 30 minutes in the slow smoking tobacco mixture. certain etiquette applies to the smoking of hookah pipes: the water pipes are meant to be on the ground, rather than on a high table or shelf, with the smokers seated on cushions or low seats around it–though in modern hookah lounges, they often appear on tables. Shared hookah pipes are not supposed to be passed, but rather set down after smoking so that the next smoker can take up the pipe at their leisure.

Mini Hookah Pipes

I bought a hookah (as far as I can tell it's pretty good quality–it was purchased originally in Syria) at a sale. The hookah isn't exactly sparkling clean, and I want my hookah experience to be unblemished. could anyone give me advice on cleaning:

The glass base (as far as I can tell this part is fairly clean, but I might as well do what I can to ensure this)

The metal shaft thing

The hose (The part that inserts into the shaft is wooden, the part that attaches to the mouthpiece is metal)

The clay bowl

Thanks.

call me, i'll come help you clean it.

the best thing for this is zippo fluid

How should I clean a used hookah?

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.

A smokin’ hot place to socialize

Have you ever Heard of Functional Glass Art Or Seen a Glass Pipe

For hundreds of years people have blown and molded glass for both decorative and functional purposes. Modern glass art has been around since the 1960’s and consists of functional as well as decorative pieces. Pipe smokers often prefer their pipes to be made of glass rather than wood because glass doesn’t affect the flavor of the tobacco. a glass pipe is made up of three parts, the bit, the shank, and the bowl.

the bit of a pipe is the actual mouthpiece; the pipe’s shank is the thin stem from the bit to the bowl. the bowl of a pipe is where the tobacco is placed and lit, when the smoker draws on the pipe, the smoke travels from the bowl along the shank and into the bit. Pipes are made from a number of different materials as well as glass. Hand blown glass pipes are often very attractive and may have designs etched into the bowl and sometimes along the stem.

Glass is used extensively in the making of pipes in the Middle East where there are actual smoking cafes. This type of pipe is smoked from what looks like a large, decorated glass, bottle with a burner near the top, and a large, flexible stem. these pipes are the original glass bongs. In modern times the bong or water pipe tends to be associated with smoking tobacco. these smoking devices are also called Hookah pipes. Hookah pipes are made of glass and consist of a curved vessel that has water in it.

the tobacco in the hookah is heated by charcoal and the water is there to cool the smoke down, making for a smoother smoke. a hookah pipe is also called a “Shishe” by the Persians, and simply means a glass bottle. the glass base of the pipe is quite tall because it’s meant to be smoked while it’s on the floor rather than on a stand or table.

In countries such as Persia and Egypt is customary for smokers to sit on low cushioned seats when they are smoking the pipe. Smokers may share the hookah, but it should not be passed from one to the other; instead, left so that the next person can pick it up at their leisure.

Decorative pipes, bongs and vases are all examples of functional glass art. not all of these products are mass produced, some are the result of the art of glass blowing. One of the great things about glass blowing is that you can get such different variations in the color and shape of the glass. Glass pipes have become very popular over the years because they are so different to the usual wood and clay pipes which are standard for the “normal” run of things.

other functional, artistic glass objects that you can get include jugs, vases and glasses. If you want the best in functional glass art, then blown glass is the answer. In Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Spain, glass blowing is still prevalent. you can get some wonderful glass vases and glass light fittings in a variety of colors and shapes.

All too often we tend to think that anything made from glass is too fragile, but this is not always the case. Glass pipes and glass light fittings have to contain a certain amount of heat resistant properties in order for them to function. many other glass objects such as jugs and vases are made to withstand a lot more use than you might imagine, which is why there is a large market for functional glass art.
