Having bought your very own hookah, you are probably thinking what kind of accessories you can purchase to enhance your experience. Some people keep their hookahs straightforward with the just the components that are essential. Others prefer to jazz them up a little with gadgets that cool the smoke, stands that rotate your hookah and covers that stop the wind from blowing off the charcoal. If you are looking for ways to pimp your hookah, be it for function or fashion, have a look at some of these great accessories!
Hookah Hose - It seems that a hookah hose is self explanatory. But, there is a lot more that you don't know about it. The first thing you need to know when choosing your hose is whether it is washable or non-washable. Water can be used to wash a washable hose, whereas a non washable hose can just be cleaned by blowing air from it. Non-washable hose offers a powerful flavor of the tobacco. For some individuals strong flavor is just bothersome while a few say that it boosts the taste. Some complain that the washable hose comes with a slight "plastic taste". But you can take care of this issue by washing the hookah hose out with a lemon juice and sodium bicarbonate mix. The non-washable hose can become rusty because it is made of metal and therefore you should clean it regularly and thoroughly. Hookah hoses come in a variety of widths, lengths and colors. It is all a matter of choice when you choose your hose but be sure to keep the maintenance rules in mind when you make your choice!
Hookah Tongs - Hookah tongs are more or less a compulsory accessory for all hookah owners. You are aware that in order to enjoy a hookah, you have to place charcoal over the hookah head.
