Step 1 – Cleaning and Preparing the Hookah

  • To clean your hookah, first rinse all the parts with water, then clean them thoroughly with a cleaning solution.
  • Add cold water to the hookah base. Fill the water to above the halfway point of the hookah base. Cold water provides better smoke filtration.
  • Place the hookah bowl on the hookah holder and press down gently. Make sure the bowl fits securely.
  • Place the hookah tobacco in the bowl. Pack it with light pressure, taking care not to compress it too much. Contact between the tobacco and air is important.

Step 2 – Lighting the Hookah

  • Light the charcoal on a heat-resistant surface so it can burn. If you use natural charcoal, wait until both sides of the charcoal are fully lit.
  • Place the lit charcoal on the hookah heat management device. Position the charcoal evenly at its four corners.
  • After the coals have warmed up for a while before starting, the first few draws may produce only a little smoke. Be patient and wait for the smoke to thicken.
  • Attach the hookah hose to the mouthpiece and draw gently to get the smoke flowing.
  • Get into a comfortable position and enjoy your hookah. Draw in the smoke by taking slow, deep breaths.

Step 3 – Cleaning the Hookah

  • It is important to clean the hookah after use. Remove the hookah tobacco from the head and use a brush to clean the hookah heat management device.
  • Empty the water from the hookah base and use water and cleaning solution to clean it. Thoroughly remove any residue inside.
  • Use hot water and cleaning solution to clean the hose and other parts. Clean by gently rubbing with a sponge.
  • Dry the parts thoroughly and reassemble the hookah.
