How to Put Together a Petite Hookah Set
A hookah is a water pipe predominantly used to smoke flavoured tobacco. It originates in the northern western provinces of India, but is now used in other countries. A petite hookah set is a smaller version of a regular hookah: It works the same, but the smaller size makes it easier to carry around. Hookah pipes are great to share with friends; although it is not the same as a cigarette, it is just as dangerous and should be smoked in moderation. Does this Spark an idea?

Check that none of the parts are damaged, loose or faulty.

Half-fill the base with water. Wrap some masking tape around the pipe to create a seal, then insert it into the base. Test your seal by covering the pipe and inhaling through the hose socket; if you can intake a lot of air, add more masking tape to make the seal tighter.

Insert the hose into the hose socket. Test the seal between the hose and pipe by covering the pipe and inhaling through the hose -- if you can intake a lot of air, try to push the hose a little further into the socket, turning it to help you do so.

Place the coal tray on the pipe and connect the bowl; seal this connection using foil as padding. Test the seal by covering the bowl with your palm and inhaling -- if you do not feel suction on your palm, you need to add more foil to the seal.

Place shisha tobacco into the bowl and cover the bowl with foil. Poke holes in the foil, so that the air can get through.

6
Hold the shisha coal using the tongs provided and light the coal, until it begins to spark. When the sparking subsides, place the coal atop the foil.

Inhale using the hose to begin smoking.
