Now that you have purchased your own hookah, you are likely thinking what kind of accessories you can purchase to enhance your experience. Some individuals keep their hookahs straightforward with the only the parts that are necessary. Other people prefer to jazz them up a little with gadgets that chill the smoke, stands that rotate your hookah and covers that prevent the wind from blowing off the charcoal. If you are looking for ways to pimp your hookah, be it for function or fashion, take a look at a few of these great accessories! Hookah Hose - The name hookah hose appears to completely explain this item. But, there is something more that you need to know about a hookah hose. The first thing you should know when selecting your hose is whether it is washable or non-washable. A washable hose can be washed with water, while the non-washable is blown through and shook instead. Non-washable hoses tend to keep the flavor of the strong tobacco flavor. Some say that the non-washable hose increases the taste although some say that it makes the taste annoying. Some complain that the washable hose has a slight “plastic taste”. But you can solve this problem by cleaning the hookah hose out with a lime juice and sodium bicarbonate mix. The non-washable hose can become rusty because it is made of metal and so you should clean it regularly and thoroughly. You can find hoses in different lengths and widths. Different colors can also be found. The width, length and color depend on what you prefer. One thing that you should ensure is that the hose is kept clean. Hookah Tongs - If you have your own hookah, then hookah tongs are a must! These tongs come in a number of shapes and sizes but all serve exactly the same purpose, which is to transport the charcoal onto your shisha head and move the charcoal around the top of the shisha head, all without burning your hands. Some tongs also have a small metal rod in them that can be used to make holes in the foil. Charcoal Carriers - A charcoal carrier is used to move charcoal from place to place without droping embers on the floor. Given that a hookah user has to move lots of burning charcoal, it is a fantastic hookah accessory. It is also convenient for keeping many charcoals, so that when one coal burns out on your hookah, the coal can be changed without interruption. To keep your hand away from the heat, they are designed with a high handle. Ice Hose Tips - A hose with a removable mouth piece is needed to use these tips. These water packets appear like ice when they are frozen. When the smoke from the hose comes in contact with this tip, the smoke’s temperature is lowered and it provides an icy experience. Hookah Base Light - A hookah base light will make sure that everyone sees your hookah. It is a platform, which shines LEDs into the water and is kept under the vase. Hookah Wind Covers - Using the hookah cover indoors controls the burn rate of the coals and prevents the shisha mix in the dish from overheating, allowing you to have a smoother longer smoking time. Outdoors the wind cover has its totally obvious benefits, allowing you and buddies to enjoy a hookah in the outdoors worry-free! 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 easy to put on and take off as the hose changes hands. There are two basic types of mouthpieces offered, whistle style and tent style Hookah Grommets - A Hookah Grommet Set is the only foolproof way to keep your hookah airtight during use, and in greater condition through the years. You can purchase these in a set or separately. A set features three grommets, one for each, the stem, the hose and the bowl. A grommet won't airtight your hookah, if it's not of the correct size. Hookah Rotating Stand: This is a metal rotating stand that lets you pass the hookah hose around conveniently. The stand comes in several sizes to properly hold the hookah. Steel Hookah Charcoal Screen - This is a reusable stainless steel charcoal screen used in place of aluminium foil to keep the hot coals. This screen comes with holes in it for air flow and you do not have to poke holea as is done with aluminium foil. It is very easy to use and the setup time is decreased. Double or Triple Hookah Head Bowl - This multiple hookah head allows you to mix 2 or 3 flavors in every bowl for a tasty boost! You can even use the same flavor in every head for that extra long hookah session with buddies. Clearly, there are a variety of accessories to purchase with your hookah! These accessories can 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 decorate your hookah.
