Buy Shisha | Hookahs & Water Pipes

Classic shishas are often characterized by an unadorned bowl and are less wide than many modern shishas. Traditional water pipes run pointedly in the height without growing in width. Despite the narrow width, there is no lack of stability, because the bowls are often made of heavy glass. The smoke columns often come in curved oriental-looking shapes and are not infrequently held in gold and silver. The charcoal plate of this hookah can be flower-like curved, star-shaped jagged or classically round. You want to buy a classic Hookah?

Traditional shishas are also called "Tradis" and come in a classic, oriental design and are somewhat reminiscent in look and feel of the countries of origin of the hookah such as Turkey and Egypt. Thanks to their magnificent golden decorations, the Arabian origin is unmistakable in the traditional shisha. Richly decorated charcoal plates, elaborately designed bowls and smoke columns and, last but not least, mouthpieces decorated with gold rims make traditional hookahs particularly desirable among lovers of noble design.

A modern hookah differs significantly from a traditional hookah. Materials such as wood, aluminum, stainless steel, chrome steel or carbon and also high-quality plastics are used and a bowl no longer has to have a round shape.

The bowl, which is almost always made of glass, is filled with water until the lower end of the dip tube is 1.5 to 2cm under water. As the smoke is drawn through the water of the bowl, it cools down. Contrary to common public opinion, the water does not have a purifying effect on the smoke, only a cooling one. Under this heading you can buy a buy a replacement bowlin case yours broke.

The dip tube directs the hot smoke under the water to cool it down. Often a diffuser is attached to the dip tube, which minimizes the bubbling noise of the hookah.

The base is virtually the basis of the hookah and is attached to the bowl with a twist or click closure. Many Russian models also use a plug closure. The connections and valves for the hookah hoses are attached to the base. There are models with 1 to 4 hose connections. Cafés and hookah bars usually carry hookahs with a hose connection in their assortment. This allows the bars to sell each customer their own pipe. Those who want to smoke hookah at home with several friends are well advised to use a hookah with several hose connections, as it guarantees pleasant smoking pleasure for several people.

The hookah hose is attached to the base and is equipped with a mouthpiece at the other end, which the smoker pulls. In hookahs with multiple connections, special ball valves prevent the pipe from pulling and remaining tight even when operated with only one smoker. Very popular are mouthpieces that can be cooled. So-called Ice Bazookas can be placed in the freezer and then cool the smoke significantly. Tip: Take a look at our Hose Setsin which hose and mouthpiece are optimally matched to each other.

The smoke column extends from the base through the coal plate up to the head. The shisha head is attached to the smoke column with an adapter.

The coal plate is placed on the smoke column and is located under the tobacco head of the hookah. The function of the ash plate can be easily derived from the name. It is used to catch flying ash so that it does not contaminate the base of the shisha.

The Molasses trap is an intermediate piece which is attached to the smoke column by means of a ground joint. The product, which is usually made of glass, is constructed in such a way that molasses from the shisha tobacco that runs down gets stuck in the molasses catcher. This prevents molasses from entering the smoke column and reaching the bowl.

The shisha head or also called tobacco head is one of the most important elements of a shisha. Here it is decided whether the shisha tobacco is burned or glowed and the taste of the flavors in the tobacco can be passed on extensively. There are various different heads and head designs, which we show you in detail in our section "Shisha head" have described.

In addition to the tobacco head, the shisha tobacco is of course also crucial for the smoking experience. Today, countless different flavors are smoked and tobacco is available in both the mild Virginia and the stronger Dark Blend variety or in a mixture of both. It is hardly possible to say which tobacco is the best. Because ultimately, the flavors remain a matter of individual taste. Here you can find our Top 20 Shisha Tobacco Varieties.

The hookah attachment is made with either aluminum foil and a charcoal screen, a chimney or a smokebox or heat management device. The hookah attachment serves as a tight closure of the tobacco head and provides space to place the glowing charcoal. Usually, natural charcoal made from coconut is used, which brings the best heat properties. Alternatively Natural charcoal from bamboo or self-lighter coal can be used.
