Now that you have purchased your own hookah, you are perhaps wondering what kind of accessories you can buy to improve your experience. Some like their hookahs straightforward exactly the way they bought, only with the essential and key components. Others like to jazz them up a little with gadgets that cool the smoke, stands that rotate your hookah and covers that prevent the wind from blowing off the coals. If you are searching for ways to pimp your hookah, whether it is for function or fashion, have a look at a few of these great accessories!
Hookah Hose - You might think that a hookah hose is quite self explanatory. There is however, more to it than you think! There are two kinds of hoses; washable and non-washable A non washable hose is cleaned by blowing air through it, whilst a washable hose can be washed with water. Non-washable hose offers a potent taste of the tobacco. Some think that it will increase the taste, while some find it annoying. Some complain that the washable hose comes with a faint "plastic taste". This issue can be fixed by cleaning the hose with lemon juice and baking soda. If you plan on buying a non-washable hose, make sure to take good care of it since they tend to become rusty (they are generally made out of metal). You can find hoses in different lengths and widths. Different colors can also be found. The width, length and color depend on what you like. One thing that you need to ensure is that the hose is kept clean.
Hookah Tongs - Hookah tongs are more or less a mandatory accessory for all hookah owners. You know that to enjoy a hookah, you must place charcoal over the hookah head. These tongs are used to move charcoal on the hookah head. Some tongs also have a small metal rod in them, which can be used to poke holes in the aluminum foil.
Charcoal Carriers - A charcoal carrier can be used to move charcoal around without droping embers on the floor. Since a hookah user needs to move a lot of burning charcoal, it is a superb hookah accessory. To make things more easy, you can put multiple charcoals on the carrier so that when one coal burns out, you can easily change it. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are made with a high handle
Ice Hose Tips - These tips work with hoses, which have a detachable mouthpiece. These water packets appear like ice cubes when they are frozen. As the smoke travels through the tip and comes in contact with the frozen water packets, it is chilled to a lower temperature for a smooth and icy experience!
Hookah Base Light - Are you hosting a gathering and wish your hookah to be the center of focus? This flat round platform sits beneath the vase and shines 5 LED colored lights in the water in programmed changing patterns.
Hookah Wind Covers - Using the hookah cover inside regulates the burn rate of the coals and stops the shisha mixture in the bowl from overheating, enabling you to have a smoother longer smoking time. Used outside, the hookah cover will stop the wind from interfering with your smoking sessions.
Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - Hookah Mouthpieces are important when sharing a hookah to avoid passing germs from one friend to another. You just have to push it on when you get the hose and pull it off when you are passing the hose to another friend. Mouthpieces come in round as well as flat styles.
Hookah Grommets - Hookah grommets are used to keep the hookah airtight when in use. These are available in a set as well as individually. There are three grommets in a set. When selecting a grommet, you should ensure that it fits your hookah.
Hookah Rotating Stand: This is a metal rotating stand that lets you pass the hookah hose around conveniently. The stand rotates a complete 360 in both directions and comes in different sizes to properly hold your hookah.
Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a stainless steel screen that is utilized in place of aluminum foil to hold the charcoal. It is reusable. This screen contains holes in it for air flow and you do not have to poke holea as is done while using aluminum foil. It is quite easy to use and the setup time is reduced.
Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - If you like to mix different flavors then this is an ideal accessory for you. You can mix multiple flavors using a multiple hookah head by putting different flavors in every bowl.
Clearly, there are a plethora of accessories to buy with your hookah! These accessories may be used for fun as well as function. A lot of people smoke hookah on a regular basis. If you are one of such people then you should invest a little time to accessorize your hookah.
