The structure of the Hookah
During construction, the shisha is in accordance with a chemical wash bottle. It consists of at least four parts: a vessel, a column for the smoke, a pot and a hose. The vessel is called a bowl or vase. Often there is also decorated glass, metal or acrylic. On top of the Bowl, the column of smoke should be well screwed on. In general, the column for the smoke can also be decorated from metal, what with chrome or brass-coating. Also, there are columns for smoke from wood, although they look nice, but after a while, through the retention of moisture, begin to smell. In the column for smoke is a small container called the pot or the head. This vessel consists of clay or metal which has holes at the bottom. At the smoke column is at least a smoke connector for the hose, but there are also columns for smoke with multiple connections. In modern shishas are simple pressure valves at the column for smoke. The hose for a shisha is usually made of leather, rubber or plastic. There are many different versions: dismountable smoke columns, storage pads, different materials and much more. The size of a shisha is varied. Full assembled they are 60 to 90 centimeters high. shishas at a height of 40 entimeters are limited to only regular tobacco consumption. The smoke is usually perceived as too strong.
