How to Put Together a Petite Hookah Set

How to Put Together a Petite Hookah Set thumbnail
Hookah pipes come in a variety of sizes.

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?

Instructions

    • 1

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

    • 2

      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.

    • 3

      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.

    • 5

      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.

    • 7

      Inhale using the hose to begin smoking.
