Cleaning Your Hookah By Yourself In Few Minutes Only

Before considering the thought of going into a hookah bar, take a little step further to learn first the basics of how to hookah To learn the basics, you need to understand several points. Be sure then to check for the following on a hookah: base, tongs, tray, stem, and a bowl with grommets. Then, to initiate preparation, add water to the base until it covers about 1 inch of the stem and the base. Tightly place the shaft inside the base. And then, put a bowl of grommet on the tray and placed them on top of the shaft.

Hookah cleaning isnt difficult, just a little time-consuming. Fortunately it gets a lot quicker as you become more practiced at it. The following guidelines will prove invaluable to experienced smokers and those new to hookahs alike.

Dismantle your hookah
Everything! Take off the bowl, the water chamber, the hose, grommets and so on. This may seem like a bit of a hassle but it really doesnt take long and will definitely be worth it. Give everything (except for the hose) a quick rinse with warm water to start things off.

Now you can start hookah cleaning proper with the tobacco bowl. Take a toothpick and clear away any debris and old burnt tobacco paying special attention to the holes in the bottom of the bowl. You can use some more warm water also if the bowl is particularly dirty or clogged.

Move on to the shaft of your pipe
A long thin brush is especially useful here. Some of the commercial hookah cleaning brushes are very good at getting this inside part of the pipe clean, and are reasonably priced. Again you can use warm water here but if you havent cleaned your pipe for a while or you notice that it is getting especially dirty you might choose to use some hookah cleaning liquid designed for precisely this job. You can find both hookah cleaning liquid and brushes, here.

The water vase is the next major component that needs to be cleaned
And again you can purchase a special brush for precisely this task. With a bit of elbow grease you should be able to get it looking as good as new. Be careful though, glass bowls can be quite delicate and hard to handle. In short, dont drop it!

Now on to the hose
Hoses are problematic as most arent designed to be cleaned with water. All you can really do is blow down it to remove ash and other debris. If possible you should have a couple of hoses, one for stronger tasting tobaccos and one for milder. This will avoid the problem of tasting apple when youre smoking mint and so on.
