Tip # 3 Bowl

There are two major types of bowls, ceramic and clay. each with it's disadvantages and advantages.


Ceramic bowl: 

The standard Bowl that usually comes when you buy the hookah.

Advantages: 

+  less breakable
+ easy to clean
+ different colors
+ different sizes and shapes


Disadvantages:
- heat up quickly
- more taste side effects


Clay:
more difficult to find in a normal shop.


Advantages:
+ does not heat up quicly
+ you feel the taste better
+ normally comes in two sizes : small and large (about average size)


Disadvantages:
- less durable against falling
- 98% of most clay bowls comes in one color
- one standard shape.


In conclusion, if you smoke a lot use the clay, otherwise the ceramic is good too.
My personal preference is the clay.

Tip # 1 Scion

The scion is an integral hookah accessory, with the scion we can clean the hookah and get to those places we can't while cleaning. there are two types: 

hookah scion - metal rod with plastic hairs (spikes), we need to push & pull it through the hookah's body (barrel). 

It's recommended to use it at least once a month, or every two weeks for those who smoke a lot. 

You can and you should wash the hookah and wash the scion after use.  

Vase Scion - thicker than the hookah's scion and it has longer fibers. It's recommended to use it when the Vase is dirty, very important against all the bacteria that stuck to the vase. 

After checking with my doc it's the most dangerous prospect of smoking hookah, a good and recommended move is to change the water in the vase every day. 

also applies to Bongs. 

step # 6 Accessories

So you chose the hookah and checked it from A to Z, Excellent! Now get to know what other cool accessories you could add to your new hookah .

Windshield / coal cover

Windshield is recommended and necessary accessory for your hookah, windshield allows us basically to guard the coal from the wind. You do not need to be a genius in chemistry, just like you do BBQ, the same principle works here.

Wind »coal ignited quickly» Tobacco "burned" quickly »more coal" flavour "» not fun

Fairy hookah / Pacifiers

Sharing your hookah among smokers may result an infection diseases: herpes lips, tuberculosis, Dlkthsimfonot (bronchitis) and oral mono, and eczema and various skin diseases by hand. You can protect yourself from the contagion through by using disposable mouths. Recommended when we share our hookah with others, or when we visit a friend and his hookah smokers buddies.

Perforate

for those "lazy" people that want to do all the holes at one time, I think you can without it, full of holes might make you holes faster, but most of the the times you "push" the foil and attach it to the head, causing the hookah to be compressed more, and smoke burn more quickly, also it perforated holes of different sizes, I do not recommend.

Perforated foil

There are foils that come with holes, as a rule I do not recommend, except one brand, most of the others have holes that are too big, and most of the foil types are too thin.

jar cover

If you break the jars quickly, it won't help you, although it prevents sliding over a smooth surface, but be aware that if the jar falls from a height of two feet or more is no good, a little excessive in my opinion.

double / triple / quad heads

it's nice to prepare few heads every time, but note, the heads are usually smaller in diameter, and the coal burning tobacco will be faster. For those of you who want to turn every head at the same time, expect that it's really not healthy, it's pretty similar to smoking with two coals at ones. I do not use these heads but I'm also not opposed.

iccy head

Suitable for warm places, such as Eilat (my city) in the afternoon, a "cold" smoke is nicer, but it only lasts about 25 minutes . It seems like too much effort, but I will not stop you.

Hookah filters

Ineffective, difficult for smoking, accumulate water is not recommended.

Syringe

For those of you who like small holes at the top, go for it. Can be found in pharmacies.

cion

Many advantages for cleaning your hookah , smoking less dangerous, more pleasant, taste more "natural". Highly recommended

Natural coal + coal facility

Less dangerous, less aftertaste, and more fun, those of you who are not lazy and hurry up smoking is highly recommended, but consider it takes longer to ignite, but they also hold for longer. There are facilities that allow you to shake up the coal and turn it so it ignites faster, is recommended.

There are plenty of inventions that come quickly, think about all the disadvantages and advantages of buying a new gadget, I trust your decision
