Smoking tobacco from a hookah is the most popular variant compared to electronic cigarettes.You can buy many varieties of hookah tobacco to make smoking as enjoyable as possible.If you don't have a place nearby to buy a hookah, you can make your own from household items.So sit back, relax and enjoy this smoke.
-
Fill a jar with ice cubes and water. Put the right amount of water, so that the stem is immersed about 38 mm in the bowl!
- You will want to leave enough space in the jar so that the smoke does not overflow into the pipe.
- Avoid putting milk or dairy products on the base.Adding these products will generate a bad smell, mold, foam in the pot which will ruin the pipes.
-
Add the grommet. The ring is a seal that holds the stem together with the vase.Many hookahs have a plastic or rubber seal.Silicone is the best material, but you can also seal the stem to the vase with duct tape.
-
Place the tray that will hold the charcoal on the hookah. You will need to put it on before you put the bowl on because the bowl may not fit on the tray itself.
-
Insert the short end of the tube into the appropriate inlet. If the hookah has two entrances, you can buy a rubber seal to close the other one.
-
Prepare the tobacco. Follow all the instructions for an excellent smoke:
- Mix the tobacco evenly so that it is completely covered in spices and molasses.
- Scatter the tobacco and let it fall freely into the bowl.Leave 2 mm between the level of tobacco and the edge of the bowl so that the mixture does not touch the foil when you place it on top.The burnt mixture would impart an unpleasant flavor to the smoke.
- Buy a good quality smoking compound.The quality will determine the flavor of the smoke.You can also mix different flavors for a great tasting smoke.Buy a 50g portion of the mixture so you can try it without having to spend a lot of money.
- You can cut the tobacco leaves with kitchen scissors to easily place them in the bowl.Don't cut them too small, though, as they might fall through the hole and clog the bowl.
-
Place a single sheet of sturdy aluminum foil on top of the bowl. The foil should be 5cm wider on all sides to form a tight seal around the bowl.
- Hold the sheet tight so the wrinkles don't alter the heat distribution.If you only have thin sheets, add a couple of layers.
- Once finished, your covered bowl should resemble a drum.
-
Prick 15-20 holes in the sheet with a toothpick, pin or sharp pen. Be careful not to tear it to shreds.You can try a couple of different models depending on the type of bowl you use:
- Egyptian bowl.Start with a circle of holes around the perimeter and spiral inside.
- Chimney bowl. Make 3 concentric rings:1 around the edge, one in the center and one between the two circles made.
-
Light the coals. Hold the coals with a pair of tongs and light them in a corner with a match or lighter.Since sparks will be produced, do this outdoors or near a window.
- Always use tongs supplied with the hookah to light or remove coals.Avoid kitchen tongs, as they may be coated in a polymer to create a non-stick layer for food preparation and easy cleanup.
- When the charcoal begins to spark and smoke, move the flame away.The charcoal should continue to glow until the entire quantity has a bright orange color.
- If the charcoal still has dark spots that won't burn, blow on it to encourage burning.
-
Place the charcoal on the sheet with tongs. The sides covered by the tongs should not light up.Blow on these parts to make them burn.Let the charcoal settle on the sheet until each part is covered with a layer of ash.
- Never light charcoal directly on the sheet.Particles released from the charcoal could enter the bowl and change the flavor of the tobacco.
- If you don't have a stove, lighter or matches available, you can use instant-ignition charcoal.
- Natural charcoal burns longer than fast charcoal, but requires something hotter than a lighter flame to burn.Some use a charcoal burner or butane torch to burn natural charcoal.
-
Blow through the tube to clean it of any dust particles that may have settled. Avoid flushing the hose until you are sure you can do it.
-
He smokes from the hookah. Let the bowl heat up naturally.Don't draw too hard to speed up the burning process, as you will only end up burning the tobacco.Take your time while smoking.A good hookah can last between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
-
Find some circular fruits. Apples, mangoes, or oranges are a great choice, but you can use any large, round fruit on hand.
-
Cut off the top of the fruit. Leave about 3/4 of the fruit intact.Remove the pulp, but leave 13 mm on the sides.
-
Drill a hole in the bottom. You can use a corkscrew, potato peeler, or other sharp object.The hole should be the size of your index finger.
-
Spread the mixture into the bowl. Leave about 2mm of empty space at the top.
-
Cover the outer shell of the fruit with foil. Punch small holes in the sheet at regular intervals.
-
Place the fruit bowl on the stem. Light the coals and smoke.Since the fruit is cold, you will need a little more charcoal than you usually use.[1]
-
Cut an apple across the top 1/4 of its length. Remove the pulp, leaving 13mm on all sides.
-
Poke a hole in the bottom of the apple. Use a potato peeler, corkscrew or small knife.
-
Cut a piece of garden hose to the desired length. Screw the apple onto the top of the tube and seal the connection with a bit of clay.
-
Poke a hole in the side of a plastic bowl near the bottom. You can use a cigarette or a concentrated heat source to burn the bowl and create a hole.
-
Insert a straw into the hole. The connection must be tight.If you see a gap between the plastic and the straw, seal it with plasticine.
-
Fill the fruit bowl with tobacco. Cover it with foil, make holes, light the charcoal and place it on the foil.Enjoy your handmade hookah.[2]
Advice
- If the tobacco is dry, liven it up using a little honey or molasses.
- Try a herbal or tobacco-free mixture.This way you will inhale far fewer carcinogenic components.
- To clean your hookah, wet a rag with vinegar and insert it into the stem with a piece of fishing pole or other type of rod.As with the vase, soak it in warm, soapy water for a while, making sure to rinse carefully.Clean the stem once a week and the vase once a month.
- Many people believe strongly in what is called a "diffuser".Diffusers work like an aerator on a faucet.They are placed on the stem and approximately 6 mm below the surface.Diffusers allow you to smoke with more water vapor, which leaves a tastier aroma.
- Hookah smoke should be thick and white.A good smoke indicates that you have prepared the hookah correctly and that you are smoking it as you should.
- If the smoke ever becomes pungent and tastes bad or burns your throat, breathe through the pipe calmly.You should see smoke coming out of the vents at the top of the bowl and clearing the inside of any stale smoke that has built up.Don't blow too hard or you will cause the water to get on the charcoal and ruin the mixture.
- In many Middle Eastern countries, a milk or juice base is used to enhance the flavor and texture of the smoke.The standard procedure of Ali Baba's Hookah Bar (born in Istanbul in 1760) is 1 part milk or juice and 2 parts water.Just make sure you rinse your hookah thoroughly if you use it every day so it doesn't taste like spoiled milk.
Warnings
- Do not use household charcoal, because it produces an excessive amount of carbon monoxide.Use special commercial charcoal, natural or quick-ignition, for a pleasant smoke.
- According to the World Health Organization, a hookah session exposes the smoker to 200 times more carcinogenic substances than a cigarette.Also, lending or sharing a hookah can spread diseases such as tuberculosis or hepatitis, so be careful.[3]
- Do not inhale while the chemical components in the quick-ignition charcoal are flashing.These elements contain various carcinogenic substances and other substances harmful to health.
