11 Great Hookah Accessories

By John McCree


After purchasing a hookah, if you want to enhance you smoking experience then you should buy some hookah accessories. Some like to keep their hookahs basic and straightforward - base, stem, hose, tray, bowl and tong. There are other people who prefer to add accessories to their hookahs like devices to chill the smoke and stands that rotate the hookah for hassle-free passing of the hose. If you are looking for ways to pimp your hookah, whether it is for function or fashion, check out some of these great accessories!

Hookah Hose - The name hookah hose seems to fully explain this item. However, there is a great deal more that you do not know about it. There are two types of hoses; washable and non-washable A non washable hose is cleaned by blowing air through it, whilst a washable hose can be cleaned with water. Non-washable hose provides a strong flavor of the tobacco. Some express that the non-washable hose increases the taste although some say that it makes the taste annoying. Many individuals complain about the washable hose that it gives a slight plastic taste. Using sodium bicarbonate and lemon juice to wash the hose can fix the plastic taste of the washable hose. The non-washable hose can become rusty because it is made of metal and therefore you should clean it regularly and thoroughly. Hookah hoses are available in a variety of widths, lengths and colors. The width, length and color depend on what you like. Something that you need to ensure is that the hose is kept clean.

Hookah Tongs - If you have your personal hookah, then hookah tongs are a necessity! The intention of hookah tongs is to move the charcoal on the hookah and then move it around over the hookah without you hurting your fingers. You can find different designs, sizes and shapes in hookah tongs. Many of the tongs have a small metal rod meant to poke holes in the foil.

Charcoal Carriers - The charcoal carrier is perfect for moving charcoal around while eliminating the chance of dropping embers on the carpet or floor. It is also convenient for holding many charcoals, so that when one coal burns out on your hookah, the coal can be exchanged without interruption. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are made with a high handle

Ice Hose Tips - These tips work with hoses that have a detachable mouthpiece. These water packets seem like ice when they are frozen. When the smoke from the hose comes in contact with this tip, the smoke's temperature is dropped and it gives an icy experience.

Hookah Base Light - A hookah base light will make sure that everyone notices your hookah. It is a round platform that shines light in the water when kept underneath the vase.

Hookah Wind Covers - When used inside the hookah wind cover prevents the shisha mix in the dish from getting too hot as it controls the burn rate of the coal and thus lets you enjoy longer smoking time. Smoking outdoors, you can utilize the hookah cover to prevent wind from ruining your shisha sessions.

Hookah Mouthpieces/Tips - If people are sharing one shisha, then it is highly recommended to use these mouthpieces to prevent passing germs. These disposable, plastic mouthpieces fit on the hose's tip and are very easy to put on and remove as the hose changes hands. These tips are available in two designs - whistle style (circular) and tent style (flat).

Hookah Grommets - A Hookah Grommet Set is the one quick and easy way to keep your hookah airtight during use, and in greater condition throughout the years. You can purchase these in a set or separately. A set contains three grommets, one for each, the stem, the hose and the bowl. A grommet will not airtight your hookah, if it is not of the right size.

Hookah Rotating Stand: A rotating stand is used to pass the hookah hose around very easily. The stand comes in different sizes to firmly hold the hookah.

Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a stainless steel screen which is used instead of aluminum foil to hold the charcoal. It is reusable. It is a practical alternative to using aluminum foil without having to poke holes in it for air flow. You can easily set this screen for use.

Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - If you like to mix different flavors then this is the best accessory for you. You can mix several flavors using a multiple hookah head by putting different flavors in every bowl.

Clearly, there are a variety of accessories to purchase with your hookah! These accessories may be used for fun as well as function. Many people smoke hookah on a regular basis. If you are one of such people then you should spend a little time to accessorize your hookah.
