What size hookah should I consider?
Shisha smoking has long been a group activity and is something to consider when choosing your hookah. Any size hookah can be used by an individual smoker, but the size and weight of a large hookah make it the most stable for large groups of five or more. Large hookahs (28 to 35 inches) are generally constructed with wider tubing than smaller hookahs to keep the hookah in proportion and so are better able to support larger groups of smokers than small hookahs. Medium Hookahs (21 to 27 inches) can support groups of three to five people and are wonderful for solo smoking. Small Hookahs (20 inches and smaller) are best suited for groups of three or less. The compact size of small hookahs makes them easy to store or carry along.

How many hoses?
The number of hoses to have on your hookah comes down to a matter of personal taste. As long as the coal is kept hot and the water pipe is kept tight, there is no difference in the quality of smoking from a one-hose hookah or a four-hose hookah.

How often should I clean my hookah?
The water in the glass vase should be emptied after every smoking session. Remember that the water in the glass vase acts as the filter for the smoke, so we recommend that you wash out the glass vase after every use. Clean the metal stem with the cleaning brush and very carefully funnel clear hot water through the hose on a regular basis. Never use soap to clean your hookah, as it may contaminate the taste of the smoke. Both the metal stem and the hookah hose should be completely dry before smoking with them again.
