What is a hookah?

The hookah, also known as a hookah, shisha or water pipe, is basically a device for smoking hookah tobacco, usually mixed with molasses or molasses. This instrument uses suction power and water to draw in the tobacco smoke, cooling it as it passes through the water and thus extracting its flavor and smoke.

The operation of the hookah involves several key elements, including the bowl in which the tobacco is placed, the tobacco itself, the charcoal used and the hookah itself. The tobacco is placed in the bowl, cooked by the heat of the charcoal at the top, and then drawn through the hookah.

There are numerous models and types of hookahs, each with its own operating mechanism.

From large, tall hookahs to smaller models, the hookah experience varies depending on the design.

Nowadays, the materials used in the manufacture of hookahs are of utmost importance, as hookahs are in constant contact with water and smoke. It is essential that the materials do not deteriorate or acquire unwanted flavors or dirt, since we inhale directly from them. The most common materials used inside hookahs are stainless steel, aluminum and brass, each with distinctive characteristics that contribute to the quality and durability of the device.
