subject: Suggestions For Smoking Hookah Pipes [print this page] Hookah Pipes are a fun way to socialize and enjoy a nice flavored smoke. When you are looking at different hookah pipes and trying to figure out which one you want, it can be a tough decision. You should consider how many people you are going to be smoking the hookah with. Are you going to use it for yourself? Are you going to be smoking with one, two, three, or more people? If you are going to smoke with either yourself or one other people, you could get a single hose hookah pipe. If you think you would regularly smoke with two other people, then you should probably get hookah pipes that are at least two hoses, possibly three.
You also want to think about the size of the hookah. There are hookah pipes out there that are over 45 inches tall. Just as there are tall ones, there are also small hookahs that are less than 18 inches short. Getting a short hookah is convenient when you are going to take it to different places. A large hookah pipe with a stem that does not come a part into smaller pieces will be more difficult to take around with you.
Also, there are hookahs out there that have glass bases, and there are ones that have acrylic bases. The glass bases are very thick, and it will be hard to break them, even if you are using ice in them. If you think that your hookah base might be in danger of breaking, then you can always consider getting a hookah pipe with the acrylic base.
One of the useful hookah accessories is the base protector. A hookah base protector is like a plastic jacket that covers the bottom inch of the hookah base. They are made to help protect the base from chipping.
It will also help keep the hookah pipe from teetering since the hookah bases can be made uneven instead of flat. You would see the slight bobbing side to side if your hookah base was hand made glass. You do not need to have the hookah base protector, but it does not hurt to get it.
One important accessory for the hookah pipe is the charcoal. Your Charcoal plays a role in consistency with flavor. You want the coals to emit the least amount of smoke, and you want them to last a long time. Some people also prefer to have Quick Lite coals that lite faster than regular charcoal.
There are a lot of different visually appealing hookah pipes to choose from. When you are searching for your hookah pipe, the big thing you will want to take into consideration is how many people will be smoking from your hookah.
