Hookah Flasks - How Are They Different And How To Choose The Right Hookah Flask?

The main function of a hookah flask is to filter and cool the smoke with liquid - the hookah flask and its differences?

In addition to aesthetic appeal, the following criteria should be considered when choosing a hookah flask:

Flask height

A small flask with a volume of less than 250 ml will be less able to cool the smoke and the draft will be heavier. Always measure the hook of the hook before choosing a flask, as sometimes the shaft may rest on the bottom of the flask.

• Medium flask (Craft shape) is the best choice, the most important thing is to make sure that the shaft will be immersed in 1.5-2 cm of water it is also important that the shaft does not reach the bottom of the flask.
• High flask - looks most aesthetically pleasing with hookahs longer than 70 cm, but the flask must also be wider so as not to lose stability.

There is more air in the large flask above the liquid, which means the blowing will be very easy, which is not to the liking of all hookah fans.

Flask shape

The shape does not affect the smoking process, only the stability and hookah flasks for cleaning convenience. The most popular hookah flask is a conical (Craft shape) with a broad base.

Flask material - glass, metal, plastic
Glass hookah flasks are the most common on the market due to their affordability, practicality and convenience. When buying a glass hookah flask, it is important to pay attention to the absence of cracks, air bubbles, as well as the thickness of the walls. The thin walls of the hookah flask may crack due to the effects of temperature. Glass hookah flasks come in a variety of colors and finishes, opaque and transparent. For starters, it is better to choose a clear flask, it is easier to monitor the water level in it and control it.

• Crystal flasks - pleasing to the eye, shines in the light, but is more expensive than glass and is more brittle.
• Bohemian glass flasks - considered stronger than usual, looks more elegant, but the price is also higher.
• Metal flasks - Hookah industry experts do not recommend metal flasks. Despite their stylish appearance, such flasks heat up, retain odors and oxidize, and over time they can rust, all of which negatively affects the taste of smoking.
• Plastic flasks The most durable of all of the above is not expensive, but looks less beautiful as well as they absorb odor.

Attachment of the flask to the shaft and their types

• Screw flask - The main advantage of such an additive is the reliability and the ability to wear a hookah while holding the shaft. However, such flasks are usually sold complete with a shaft, and if the thread breaks or the flask breaks, it can be difficult to find a similar model for a hookah flask.
• Attaching the hook to the hook with an intermediate connection - In this case, universal components are used, the most important thing is to check the tightness of the connection so that the shaft fits snugly to the neck of the flask.
