Does the size of the hookah effect the quality of your smoking experience?

We have determined that the ideal hookah typically ranges anywhere between 26 inches and 35 inches.

How may packs of charcoals should I order per every box of flavored tobacco?
We have determined the proper conversion ratio as to how many packs of charcoals should be used with every box of flavored tobacco. Three packs of quick lighting charcoals should be used to satisfy one 250g box of flavored tobacco.

How long is the flavored tobacco that I purchased going to last?
We recommend that you store the flavored tobacco in an air tight container (i.e. Ziplock bag, Tupperware container, or glass jar) at room temperature when not being used. If you follow these procedures, the flavored tobacco is estimated to last up to one year.

Do multiple hose hookahs provide a pleasurable smoking experience?
Multiple hose hookahs, just like single hose hookahs, provide the same quality smoking experience. One of the benefits of owning a multiple hose hookah is that you may convert the hookah into a single, double, or triple hose hookah. This is made possible by using the accessories that we provide with each multiple hose hookah.

How often do I need to clean my hookah?
We recommend that hookah maintenance should be performed after every use. This involves using the cleaning kit provided with your hookah to clean the shaft, vase, and clay bowl. It is recommended that you NEVER clean any part of your hookah with soap, as you will be able to taste the soap when smoking the hookah. We therefore recommend that you use warm water when cleaning your hookah.
