What do you look for when choosing a hookah?
Choosing a good shisha depends on a few things: the material (stainless steel, aluminum, or glass), the height and stability, the type of bowl (phunnel or traditional), the number of hoses, and how easy the vase is to clean.
Just starting out? Then a complete set or a smaller model is convenient: easy to clean, stable, and affordable.

Taste and charcoal
Choose the right flavor and coals
The right shisha flavor makes your session. Fruity and fresh is popular to start with, mint and mixed flavors add a bit more spice. Combine with natural coconut coals of about 25 to 27 mm: they burn longer and release more flavor. Light them properly on a coal burner.

Frequently Bought Hookahs and Flavors
Choose the right tobacco pipe head
The bowl determines the airflow, heat distribution, and flavour. Glazed bowls do not absorb flavour, which is useful if you change flavours often. Unglazed bowls, on the other hand, do absorb flavour and provide a more intense experience.
Bowls are available in ceramic, clay, glass, and silicone. With a heat management system, you can distribute the heat more evenly and enjoy your session for longer.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about buying shisha
Which hookah should I buy as a beginner?
Start with a complete set or a compact to medium-sized hookah. These are easy to clean, stable, and affordable.
What is the difference between stainless steel and aluminum?
Stainless steel is heavy and sturdy and does not rust. Aluminium is lighter and often more affordable. Both work perfectly well; it depends on your preference and budget.
What size briquettes do I need?
For most shisha bowls, 25 to 27 mm coconut coals work best. Check out our shisha coals.
Do I need a diffuser?
A diffuser makes drawing quieter and smoother, but is not mandatory. Many hookahs work perfectly fine without one. It is mainly a matter of preference.
What is a heat management system?
It's an accessory you place on top to distribute the heat from the coals more evenly. This keeps the temperature stable and your session enjoyable for longer.
Do you sell nicotine-free shisha?
Yes, online we only sell tobacco-free and nicotine-free flavors, such as steam stones and shisha paste. View the flavors.
Which tobacco bowl should I choose?
A phunnel retains flavour and juice well and is good for beginners. Glazed is easy to switch, unglazed gives a more intense flavour. View all shisha bowls.
