Hookah History
Hookah pipes have been around for hundreds of years. During the 17th century, hookah pipes were often seen in coffee shops or small restaurants along the streets of Turkey and other Middle Eastern countries. Since then the world of Hookah smoking has greatly expanded. Although we are unsure of the true origin of the water pipe, it is believed that the original design for the hookah came from India or Persia. It was in Turkey that the water pipe completed its revolution and has hardly changed its style for the last few hundred years. The Turkish people were the first to make smoking water pipes a common practice and soon discovered that it could be used in a more convenient way. So, around 500 years ago, they reshaped the design and added a hose. To this day, the same basic design is used for each hookah with the option of adding multiple hoses to make each smoking session more convenient and enjoyable.
Hookah Setup
* Fill your base with water. About one inch of water should do it.
* Use a small amount of water to moisten the Base Grommet for fitting.
* Place your Shaft into the Base and rotate clockwise slowly.
* Fasten the Snap-On Tray over the Shaft.
* Fasten the Bowl grommet over the Shaft.
* Gather your Flavored Tobacco, Tongs, Metal Bowl screen (or foil).
* Unpack or loosen the Flavored Tobacco. This will make it easier to load into your hookah and will give you a smoother smoke.
* Without overfilling the bowl, lightly place your loosened tobacco into the clay bowl.
* Fasten a screen (or foil) over the Bowl.
* If you are not using a proper screen and you are using foil, be sure to poke small holes into the Foil. Attach your Bowl to the top of the Shaft, by fastening it onto the Bowl Grommet.
* Hold a piece of Charcoal WITH YOUR TONGS, light the charcoal and place it on top of the Metal Bowl Screen (or foil).
* Puff on the hookah a few times to wake it up.
