An octopus may be able to fit through a hole the size of their own eyeball, but it’s still a little excessive to have eight arms. Sure, Medusa had awesome powers of casting onlookers into stone, but dozens of tentacley head snakes is a little outrageous. Here at Hookah-Shisha, we think that three extraneous extensions is quite enough. The 3-hose hookah is perfect for parties, hanging out with a few friends, or simply to just look awesome sitting on your table. Not sure where to start?

Lulava hoses have been abuzz on the googlewebs for months. Hookah-Shisha.com is now one of an elite few exclusive retailers of this amazing new hookah accessory. Read all the deets below for a full Lulava breakdown!
The Lulava Hose is a modern take on the the traditional hookah hose. By infusing cutting edge technology and hi-tech materials, the Lulava hookah hose allows for smooth air flow and is fully washable, interchangeable and customizable beyond the capabilities of any other hookah hose on the market.
What is the Lulava Hose Made of?
The Lulava hose is a wide gauge FDA approved vinyl, which makes the Lulava very flexible, completely washable, and its available in a wide variety of colors. We expect to have more colors coming soon!The mouthpiece and heel (where it attaches the hookah) is fabricated from anodized billet aluminum (aluminium for you Brits across the pond). The high quality materials are self evident as soon as you hold the Lulava hose in your hands.
Why is the Lulava Hose so Revolutionary?
For centuries hookah hoses have been a simple metal coil wrapped in leather with a wood mouthpiece. Unfortunately, this can lead to rust and other debris flaking off inside the hose. Most hookah smokers have had the unfortunate experience of sucking in a huge puff and coating their mouth with rust, dust and who knows what else. YUCK! The vinyl tubing of the Lulava hose will never have that problem. Hose deterioration is now a thing of the past, just like fax machines!The mouthpiece has 2 parts that screw together for easy removal, which makes cleaning or switching colors to create a completely custom color combination quick and easy. The 2 part mouthpiece also grips the hose extremely tight for a virtually unbreakable bond, not even with a thousand swords.The Lulava Hose is currently available in 4 colors, all paired with a “Coal” colored handle, but more hose and handle color options are on the way.
We want your feedback!
The Lulava hose is so new, we need help from you to review its performance. Please leave us a comment so our hookah community can hear what you have to say about the new Lulava Hookah Hose.
With a raised spire in the center of the bowl, and a few holes carefully placed around the internal spire, the Vortex Hookah Bowlprevents the shisha tobacco juices from running out through the multiple holes that usually line the bottom of a traditional hookah bowl. This is one of our most popular bowls, and a must-have for any hookah enthusiast.
Take your shisha of choice and loosely sprinkle it around the inside of your Vortex Bowl. Fill it just below the lip of the bowl, so that the foil doesn’t touch the shisha – which can cause it to burn and stick to the foil.
Cover the top of the bowl with foil, and poke several small holes over the surface area of the bowl. (You don’t have to poke holes over the center spire area).
Place your coals around the outside of the bowl, and wait until the smoke output begins to become significant. When the smoke starts thinning out, try moving the coals towards the center, but not over top of the center spire area.
With a raised spire in the center of the bowl, and one large hole in the center of the internal spire, the Phunnel hookah bowl prevents the shisha tobacco juices from running out through the multiple holes that usually line the bottom of a traditional hookah bowl. This bowl is especially ideal for a tightly packed, juicy Tangiers shisha session – but is good for everyday use as well!
Take your shisha of choice and loosely sprinkle it around the inside of your Phunnel Bowl. Fill it just below the lip of the bowl, about even with the center spire, so that the foil doesn’t touch the shisha – which can cause it to burn and stick to the foil. Make sure that the center spire is slightly shorter than the outer rim of the bowl, otherwise you will not get proper airflow.
When poking holes in your foil, you have to decide whether or not you’d like to poke holes over the hole in the center. Some people believe that only poking holes where the shisha is helps to create a vacuum effect through the center, however others insist that poking holes over the center spire helps with airflow. You should try it both ways, and see what works for you.

Romman Shisha Tobacco is one of the most popular brands of shisha around. Everyone has their favorite flavor (mine is Summer Crisp), but there is no harm in expanding our horizons with a few new flavors that are perfect to help kick off the summer.
Romman Berry Crush Shisha Tobacco – Are you ready to get kicked in the mouth by a fistful of berries?! Berries SO POWERFUL that they will CRUSH YOUR MOUTH?! We’ve warned this flavor to stop crushing so hard, but it just can’t. It’s simultaneously juicy and creamy – like your tongue is swimming in a lake made of mixed berry smoothie. If you like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and being awesome, then this is the right choice for you.
Romman Sour Kiss Shisha Tobacco – Remember eating a strawberry roll-up while sitting next to your backyard pool with your toes dangling in the water? This bold flavor will take you back to that hot summer day with its strong flavors of strawberry and orange, and a soft undertone of cherry. With just the right amount of sour to make your cheeks puckers, this flavor would taste great when paired with a glass of orange juice and a fruit salad, with a side of nostalgia.
Romman Bay Breeze Shisha Tobacco – I remember the day I got my yacht. I took all my favorite movie stars and rappers out on to the open water and I had my faithful bartender whip us up some tropical Bay Breeze beverages. The refreshing taste of the tangy strawberry mixed with creamy coconut was just the thing we needed to make our day on the yacht epic. That, and watching a group of dolphins do a laser light show in the night sky that spelled out my name. Now, whenever I want to remember that day, I smoke Romman Bay Breeze shisha, and think fondly of those talented dolphins.

It seems as though most hookah lovers are in the constant pursuit of cooler hookah smoke. Of course you can put ice in your base water, but there are multiple devices that have been invented to help chill as you puff – but which one is right for you? Let’s take a look at the pros and cons of the top three glacial smoke providers.
The Mystique Ice Tip is 13 inches in length and works in conjunction with the Nammor Hookah Hose (and other similar styles of hoses that have a removable mouthpiece). The Mystique Tip + Nammor Hose combo pack is definitely the best one-stop deal. Inside the Mystique are non-toxic packets of water that act like ice cubes when frozen. As the smoke travels through the tip and comes in contact with the frozen water packets, it is chilled to a soothing temperature.
How it works:The Soguk is similar to the Mystique in that it is an attachable cooling accessory, however instead of using water as the cooling agent, a special vegetable-based glycerin solution is sealed inside the device. This solution stays frozen longer than water, allowing the smoke to stay icy cool. This product fits on most hoses with the help of a rubber adapter.
Benefits:
The vegetable-based glycerin stays frozen longer than water
Comes with a rubber adapter that allows it to be used on a wider variety of hoses
How it works:Measuring 6 feet (72 inches) in length, the Mya Freeze hose features a handle that unscrews to fit a non-toxic water capsule that you freeze by simply leaving it in a standard freezer for several hours. The hookah smoke is cooled down as it passes around the frozen capsule.
Benefits:
No bulky attachment
The hose is wider than most Mya Hookah Hoses, allowing for more draw
Fits almost any hookah
That’s the basic break down of the most popular smoke enhancing items for your hookah. They all have their strengths and their weaknesses, but it’s definitely worth it in the effort to find the perfectly chilled smoke. What is your favorite smoke cooling accessory?
If you’re just tuning in to Romancing The Smoke, this is a blog following my journey to becoming a hookah know-it-all. If you’re also a beginner, or a pro who wants to offer some advice, then I hope you’ll follow along!
At this point in my hookah education, I’ve started to collect quite a few different types, flavors, and brands of shisha. Suddenly I had a dozen open containers of tobacco, which made my kitchen smell lovely, but I was not exactly sure what to do with the shisha once it was opened…The first thing I learned is that if you even mention a freezer, you might be accosted. This isn’t just true in the hookah community, it’s prevalent with coffee connoisseurs, cigar aficionados, basically anything that is appreciated for it’s rich flavor should not touch the inside of a freezer.
Why Not Freeze It? Sublimation and homeostasis. Water evaporates at all temperatures, even from the surface of solid ice. If the air is cold and dry enough, water molecules go directly from solid phase (ice) to gas phase (vapor) without ever going through a liquid phase (this is sublimation). Why does this happen? Because when air gets cold, it condenses and the humidity drops. The freezer environment wants to balance out the levels of humidity, so the dry air will suck moisture out of anything in the freezer to try and create that balance (this is homeostasis). SO, arguably, if something is perfectly sealed, the process of sucking out the moisture will be diminished. However, the extreme temperature change will still disturb the volatile oils and compounds that are used to flavor the shisha. The only potential exception may exist in the Tangiers world. Some suggest putting it in the freezer for about an hour to help deal with humidity shock. Even then, it’s only an hour, and this is just one method.
So, How Should I Store It? It’s mind-numbingly easy. Seal it. Keep it in a dark, cool place. Boom – that shisha will stay good for years. To help keep everything tidy and orderly what I do is gently wrap the shisha in wax paper or plastic wrap, then put that in the shisha storage container of your choice. Put the container in a zip lock bag. Now take a magic marker, and write the brand, flavor, and date that you opened it on the bag. It take less than 5 minutes to do this, and when I say that shisha will be good for years, I’m being literal – years.
