Base Preparation
Make sure the water level in the base is between one and two inches above the stem before beginning to fill it. In addition to creating a smooth smoking experience, this is done to ensure proper filtration. It is imperative to avoid overfilling the base because doing so could lower the smoke’s quality.
Connect The Stem
– Ensure a tight fit as you insert the hookah stem into the base.
– Put the rubber grommet, if your hookah has one, on the stem’s bottom to make an airtight seal with the base.
Attach The Tray
– Slide the hookah tray onto the top of the hookah stem.
– Ensure it sits securely and level on the stem to catch any falling ash or debris.
Prepare The Bowl
– Choose a hookah bowl that suits your preferences and pack it with hookah tobacco. Fluff the tobacco slightly and avoid overpacking or pressing it too tightly to allow for proper airflow.
– Place a piece of hookah foil over the bowl or use a heat management device such as a Kaloud Lotus.
– If using foil, ensure it is tightly stretched over the bowl, leaving a small gap between the tobacco and the foil for heat circulation. Secure the foil by pressing it firmly around the edges of the bowl.
Add Charcoal
– Ignite charcoal using a lighter or a charcoal burner until it turns red-hot and is covered with a layer of white ash.
– Place the charcoal on the hookah foil or heat management device.
– Start with one or two charcoal pieces and add more if needed to maintain consistent heat throughout the session.
Connect The Hose
– Attach the hose to the hookah stem’s hose port.
– If the hose doesn’t fit directly, use adapters to ensure a secure connection.
Check For Leaks
– Ensure all connections are tight and there are no air leaks.
– Test the hookah by gently pulling through the hose to see any leaks. If you notice air escaping from any joints, reassemble and tighten them.
Let It Heat Up
– Allow the hookah to heat up for a few minutes to ensure the tobacco gets adequately heated.
– During this time, you can take a few gentle draws to help the heat distribute evenly.
Enjoy Your Hookah
– Once the hookah is adequately heated, take a slow, steady draw through the hose.
– Relax, savor the flavors, and enjoy your hookah session. Choose the best hookah and shisha heads from our collection.

“Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.” -Natalie Portman
