How To Use A Hookah

Frost your glass vase in the freezer for about five minutes prior to smoking.
Keep a bottle of fresh water in the fridge for your hookah, so you always have cold water.
Turn your water bottle upside down into the vase so it fills while you prepare the rest of the hookah.
Add ice cubes to the water in your glass vase.
Add juice to the water in your glass vase for a fruitier flavor.
Add wine to the water in your glass vase for an intoxicating effect.
Mix your favorite flavors of hookah tobacco, examples: Orange & Pineapple, Cherry & Cola, Mango & Peach, Lemon & Orange, Strawberry & Mint

Change the water in your glass vase for every smoking session- the water is the filter for the smoke!
Wet the rubber grommet so that the stem will slide into the vase easily.
Blow through all of the hoses before and after each smoking session to clear out any smoke residue.
Loosely crumble the hookah tobacco in the hookah bowl.
Never place charcoals directly on the tobacco. Always use aluminum foil or a metal charcoal screen.
Metal charcoal screens are a great time saver- use it several times and throw it away.
Light self-lighting charcoals outdoors.
Place the charcoal towards one side on top of the clay bowl and move it around in a circle as the tobacco burns. This will help to portion the amount of tobacco being smoked.
If the smoke feels too thick, blow gently into the hose to release some of the smoke from the chamber.

To maintain freshness of your hookah tobacco, store it an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
