Here is an ultimate hookah with an attractive “exotic” vase and a unique stem design that is simply perfect for enjoying the great pleasure of hookah smoking with others. A hookah, also known as a water pipe or shisha, is a traditional smoking device used to smoke flavored tobacco. It originated in the Middle East and has gained popularity worldwide as a social and cultural activity.
Here are the key components and details of a hookah:
- Base: The hookah base is usually made of glass or other transparent material and is filled with water. The water acts as a filtration system, cooling the smoke as it passes through.
- Stem: The stem is a long tube that extends from the base and supports the other components of the hookah. It is typically made of metal or stainless steel and may have decorative designs or engravings.
- Bowl: The bowl is located at the top of the hookah and is where the flavored tobacco, known as shisha, is placed. It is usually made of clay, ceramic, or other heat-resistant materials.
- Charcoal tray: The tray sits just below the bowl and is designed to hold the charcoal used to heat the tobacco. It prevents ashes from falling onto the surface below.
- Hose(s): The hookah can have one or multiple hoses, depending on its design. The hose is a long, flexible tube that allows the user to inhale the smoke. It is often made of leather, plastic, or silicone and may have decorative elements.
- Mouthpiece: The mouthpiece is attached to the end of the hose and is where the user places their lips to inhale the smoke. It is typically made of plastic or metal and can be removable for hygiene purposes when used by multiple people.
- Grommets: Grommets are rubber or silicone seals that help create airtight connections between different components of the hookah, such as the stem and base, bowl, and hose. They prevent air leaks and ensure smooth airflow.
- Tongs: Tongs are used to handle the charcoal when lighting it and placing it on the bowl. They are essential for safety and preventing burns.
When using a hookah, the flavored tobacco (shisha) is packed into the bowl and covered with a perforated foil. The charcoal is then placed on top of the foil, and once lit, it heats the tobacco, producing smoke. The user inhales the smoke by drawing it through the hose and mouthpiece.
It’s important to note that while hookah smoking is often considered a social activity, it carries health risks similar to other forms of tobacco use. The water filtration in the hookah does not eliminate the harmful chemicals present in the tobacco smoke, so caution should be exercised when using a hookah.
