Hookah Bases
Hookah Bases
Essential for any hookah setup, the hookah base holds the liquid—whether it's water, milk, juice, or even alcohol—that cools, humidifies, and filters the smoke during your session. The process of smoke passing through the liquid plays a pivotal role in reducing irritation to the airways, stripping away harmful impurities, and cooling the smoke to a pleasant temperature.
Modern manufacturers offer a diverse selection of hookah bases in different shapes and materials. The choice of liquid can significantly influence the smoking experience, with water being the most common choice, but milk, juice, or soda also popular for adding unique flavors.
Considerations for Choosing a Hookah Base
When selecting a hookah base, it's crucial to consider the appearance, shape, and size. Bases can be pyramid-shaped, teardrop, or round. Ensure that the neck diameter matches the hookah stem for a snug fit that prevents shaking or slipping. A larger base increases stability and safety.
The shape of the base doesn’t impact the smoking process, but the size must allow the stem to stand without hitting the bottom. Fill the liquid just 1.5-2 cm above the end of the stem to avoid excessive inhalation effort. Transparent bases are recommended for easily monitoring water levels.
Materials Used for Hookah Bases
- Plastic: Rarely used and prone to absorbing odors and stains, plastic bases aren't very aesthetic or easy to clean, but they're affordable for temporary use.
- Glass: The most popular option for its aesthetic appeal, practical nature, and absence of harmful impurities. Glass bases, including those made from crystal or Bohemian glass, need careful handling due to their fragility. Opt for a design with a stable shape and thick walls for durability.
Types of Attachment for Hookah Bases
The attachment mechanism affects the unit's airtightness and overall functionality, so choose wisely based on your needs.
