Aladin 2 Go Alu Blue 23 cm with Carry Bag - Compact Hookah Set for On the Go

The Aladin 2 Go Alu - a hookah for on the go

Not every shisha session takes place at home. The Aladin 2 Go Alu Blue is built for people who like to take their shisha travel set with them, without compromising on quality. With a height of 23 cm this hookah fits completely - including accessories - in the supplied carrying bag. Throw it in the trunk, take it to the beach, or store it neatly in the cupboard: the Aladin 2 Go is always ready when you are.

The color is blue, the appearance sleek and simple. The transparent design lets you see exactly what's happening in the vase. In the Aladin lineup the 2 Go Alu is one of the best-selling entry-level models, precisely because it easily goes along and also works excellently as a beginner's hookah.

Materials and construction

Aluminum and stainless steel: that's the basic recipe for the Aladin 2 Go. Aluminum is light, so the total travel set weighs little. Stainless steel lasts a long time and does not rust, even if you rinse it regularly. The vase is hand-blown, which means that each piece is slightly different and that the glass is sturdier than machine-made alternatives.

Aladin applies the closed chamber system: the space between the head and the water is closed off, so you get more flavor and more draw than with an open construction. This system is one of the reasons why the 2 Go Alu smokes well despite its small size.

The muffler

In the base of the 2 Go Alu there is a muffler, also called a diffuser. This breaks up the air bubble sound when drawing into smaller bubbles, so that the session sounds softer. Handy if you smoke in the evening without disturbing neighbors or housemates. More shisha with a diffuser can be found on the buy shisha page.

Who is this hookah for?

The Aladin 2 Go Alu Blue is a good choice in three situations:

• Beginners who are buying their first shisha and are not yet sure which size and budget suits them. The set is complete and the price is low.
• Travelers who want to take their shisha on vacation or to friends. Thanks to the bag, everything fits into a compact package.
• People with limited space who cannot store a large hookah but still want to smoke regularly. 23 cm fits in almost any cupboard.

Setup and use

Fill the vase with cold water, insert the stem, attach the hose, and place the hookah tobacco bowl on top. Put some shisha tobacco in the bowl, cover with aluminum foil, and place the coals on top as soon as they are burning well. The first draw comes quickly: the short 23 cm distance between bowl and water ensures quick heating.

Wait until the coal is fully glowing, gray on all sides, before you start. With half-burnt coals, you will get a bitter taste. A good shisha charcoal burner makes that easier.

Maintenance and cleaning

After each session, rinse the vase and stem with warm water. Let the hose dry before you store it in the bag. Occasionally use a straw brush for the inside of the stem. These can be found with the cleaning supplies for hookahs. Stainless steel and aluminum do not pick up flavors if you rinse them well.

The right coals for a compact shisha

For a small 23 cm hookah, 1 or 2 coals work better than 3. More coals give too much heat, causing the tobacco to burn instead of smolder. Good shisha hookah coals are hookah natural coals: these burn more evenly and give a purer taste than quick-lighting cubes.

Complete the set

The Aladin 2 Go Alu comes complete out of the box. A few handy extras that make smoking more comfortable: a set of hygienic mouthpieces so you can smoke with more people, a pack of aluminum foil and pokers for on the go, and coasters with LED lighting that beautifully illuminate the transparent glass of the blue vase.
