Indeed, you\u2019ll need to fill it up over the tube, which is where the smoke comes through. This smoke needs to <strong>filter through the water<\/strong> in order to cool down, consequently, more water the smoke has to go through, the cooler it\u2019ll be. This means that larger bongs tend to produce more pure and cooler smoke. Furthermore, if you have a small hookah, you will need to use <strong>incredibly cold water<\/strong> or else the temperature of the smoke may make it uncomfortable \u2013 large hookahs will do with tap water.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing to do is to fill the top bowl up with whatever you\u2019re going to smoke; <strong>flavored tobacco, cannabis or a mixture of both<\/strong>.

If you unscrew it you\u2019ll see a <strong>little ball inside which acts as a filter<\/strong>. Depending on how tight this filter is screwed in, the air&nbsp;flow will be more or less intense.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, you can attach a joint to this hole in order to <strong>give your hookah a little spice<\/strong>. Keep in mind that it\u2019ll smoke super-fast and the smoke produced from it won\u2019t be cooled down by the water. This combination of smokes, the cooler and hotter smoke, makes for quite an <strong>interesting sensation<\/strong> and the flavors combine spectacularly. It also produces quite an intense effect, so keep an eye on that joint.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_a_hookah_Hygiene_and_aftercare\"><\/span><strong>How to use a hookah | Hygiene and aftercare<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s always a good idea to use a mouthpiece when smoking, as <strong>hookahs tend to have metal mouthpieces<\/strong> which don\u2019t taste too well. Besides, it\u2019s also much more hygienic when smoking with friends \u2013 each person should have their own mouthpiece, and they&#8217;re not that expensive at all. If everyone has their own, you can smoke comfortably without accidentally getting <strong>someone else\u2019s spit<\/strong>&nbsp;in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve finished using your hookah, you\u2019ll need to take it apart and clean it properly. It is better to clean it while it\u2019s still warm as it\u2019ll be much easier. However, if you wait until the next day, you\u2019ll have to use water or alcohol and a bit of salt.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-156588 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-04-09T100749.359.jpg\" alt=\"hookah parts\" width=\"1000\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-04-09T100749.359.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-04-09T100749.359-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Interior-GB-2.0-2024-04-09T100749.359-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Finally, as you can tell, it isn\u2019t that hard to use a hookah as long as you have the right materials.&nbsp; If this article amde you want to get one, read out article about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gbthegreenbrand.com\/blog\/top-5-hookahs-at-the-best-quality-price-ratio\/\">TOP 5 Hookahs at the best quality-price ratio<\/a> available on the market.
