How to smoke the shisha - a guide

How do you smoke the shisha? A tutorial that will answer all of your questions:

  1. In the first step you should clean the shisha of old residues so that the aroma is not negatively affected. To do this, rinse the water pipe with warm water and a little washing-up liquid. Use a special water pipe brush set.
  2. Now you assemble the shisha. First fill the hookah glass with cold, clear water.
  3. Place the column of smoke on the glass and seal the rubber seal. Put the column on the plate and put the seal of the shisha head on the smoke column. Finally, put the tobacco head over it.
  4. Take some shisha tobacco out of the pack and pull it apart with your fingers. Spread the tobacco in the tobacco head and press it down a little. However, if you squeeze the tobacco too hard, it will clog the holes and you will find it difficult to suck up tobacco. Place the charcoal strainer on the tobacco head.

  6. Hold the shisha charcoal with the tongs and light it with the lighter. Place the charcoal on a refractory surface and wait until the charcoal is glowing on each side and covered with white ash. Now put the charcoal on the sieve.

Smoke and enjoy in style - some tips

  • Wait until the tobacco glows properly, then pull the hookah a few times very quickly. Do not inhale these first few puffs. You can only start once the smoke has developed properly.
  • Pull the hookah for about four seconds and inhale the smoke.
  • If you have the feeling that the smoke is scratching your throat, reduce the distance between the coal and the tobacco a little. To do this, put some aluminum foil in between or twist the sieve.
  • In between you should blow into the drain valve again and again so that the old, stale smoke gets outside.
  • While smoking, tap off any burned-up coal or replace the entire coal. This way the smoke stays very flavorful.
  • Don't smoke a hookah the same way you smoke a cigarette. Enjoy a deep draw like an expensive wine or a fine praline. Relax and enjoy being with your friends.

The question "How do you smoke the Shisha" cannot really be answered in general, as everyone has their own style. You also need some experience in order to be able to enjoy completely freely.
