These might not be necessary, but if you dont feel like cutting foil every time these are great - I never had any problems with burning shisha, and they only tear if you man handle them when trying to cover the bowl -
I love these foils, they make setting up your hookah much faster and easier - Much nicer than kitchen foil, which contains harmful chemicals when burnt - Also, they work great for lining the Mya hookah bowls - just make sure you put the shiny side down otherwise they'll burn your shisha pretty fast -
I got a package of these free with the last hookah I bought - I love them! It's so much more convenient to just grab one of these rather than rip up the store-bought foil - I will probably start using these every time from now on -
Bought these and they do exactly what you'd expect - Just makes prepping the bowl easier - Also they do seam thinner than regular foil - - - which i guess is good - MANAGEMENT NOTE: Yes, hookah foil is intentionally designed to be thinner than kitchen foil, to allow easier passage of heat.
I hookah with every one and i don't have time to be ripping off pieces of foil at a awesome party - throw this foil on and light up the party and save time cheap as hell and saves you the time, they aren't thin just learn how to use your coals not like an idiot -
They included these "foil singles" with the hookah I bought, so I decided to use them - - - They are so thin that it is almost impossible not to burn the tobacco - Every bowl I smoke with these flimsy foil squares tastes like charcoal - they also tear very easily - The foil you buy at the grocery store is much thicker and makes a big difference -
I love this foil! I am always taking my hookah places and these are much easier to transport than a role of foil. Plus they work great and fit all my bowls! A+
In response to 10oclocknewsandhookah review, The only way you can inhale aluminum by smoking hookah is if the aluminum itself turns from a solid into a vapor. and it takes 1000+ degrees for aluminum to melt, which a small little coal cannot acheive.
aluminum foil is rumored to be linked with alzheimers, these foils are not made from the same material and are much safer, if you compare them to aluminum foil they may seem alot alike but they do not have the same key elements, such as aluminum... if you want to take the risk go buy some aluminum foil and smoke away, but I'm gonna stay on the safe side, it's like a dollar people, be safe
most kitchen aluminium foil is coated in stearin on one side so it doesn't oxidize and that is why there is a shiny side and a dull side
The value of this product lies solely in its thickness (or rather, lack thereof) and its convenience. I believe it is false advertising and misinforming to state anything else without firm proof. I've heard all the rumors regarding the shiny side and dull side of aluminum foil and I'm not convinced that there is any perceivable difference between using different sides. In regards to the reviewer that stated that you shouldn't settle for foils with 'binding agents,' I'd like to know where you got such information. Aluminum foil is produced by repeated casting and cold rolling of aluminum ingots. In other words, blocks of aluminum are forced between two metal rollers into progressively thinner sheets. The reason there's a shiny side and dull side has nothing to do with other chemicals added to the foil or sprayed on. In fact, the reason is that the last roll is preformed with 2 sheets stacked through one roller. This results in the outside faces of each sheet being shiny and the inside faces being dull. Any difference between using one side or the other could only be perceived with precice equipment. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminum_foil#Properties
So, what is the difference between kitchen aluminum and this aluminum. I understand smoking from aluminum is linked to alzheimers. This shouldn't be any better from one aluminum to another.
I thought this was just foil until I used it. I used the screen that I got free. I thought it was great but because I was doing a hookah party with more than one hookah, I bought the foil. I was amazed at the difference. The smoke was thick and I didn't have to drag long before it produced deep thick smoke. What a difference! The screen is good, but now I am a believer of this thin and quite amazing foil. I will use the foil until I run out!
I'm in the army and my day starts at 5:30am and ends at 6pm.... so its a long day. after a 12 hour day i get really lazy so these are perfect. open package take out foil. super easy.
I prefer round hookah foil sheets because to me they seem to seal better than square foil sheets. With this said, round or square hookah foil beats kitchen foil hands down as far as not having a lot of crap other than aluminum in it like kitchen foil.
