In recent years, an old oriental tradition - hookah smoking - has come into fashion in Russia. It is believed that hookah is relaxing and conducive to more emotional communication. Hookah is usually ordered in restaurants and cafes, but you can just as well smoke it at home. However, it should be borne in mind that refueling the hookah and assembling it greatly affects the quality of smoking. The aroma of its smoke and, accordingly, the amount of pleasure for smokers directly depends on the correct assembly and filling of the hookah. This instruction will help you in assembling and refueling any hookah.

Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, you should pay special attention to the assembly of the hookah. Before assembly, water or other liquid is poured into the hookah vessel. After that, a shaft is installed on the vessel (flask). The lower end of the hookah shaft should be immersed in water by 1 - 3 centimeters. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the connection is as tight as possible.
Step 2
After installing the shaft, a hose is attached to the flask through which smoking is carried out. Then the shaft must be connected to the bowl in which the tobacco will have to be. All connections must be extremely tight to avoid air, water and smoke leaks.
Step 3
The hookah is assembled. Now you need to check the build quality. A well-assembled hookah, as a rule, is as tight as possible. To check the tightness, the hole in the bowl must be closed by hand or with a special plug, and then breathe in air through the hose. If properly assembled, no air should enter the hose. If air still comes in, check all existing connections.
Step 4
Let's start filling the hookah. The first step is to put the tobacco in the bowl. This is done by hand, or with the help of special forceps. The tobacco in the bowl should not lie too densely and not too "fluffy", air should pass through it easily, and its top layer should not come into contact with the foil.
Step 5
The next point is the shielding of tobacco with a protective screen made of metal, or with foil, in which many holes are made. Also, for smoking, you should ignite (if it is a quick-burning coal), or warm it up on a gas stove or with a special lighter.
Step 6
After completing all the above steps, and putting coal on the thicket, the hookah must be "smoked". This is done with several deep puffs, during which the coal reaches the optimum temperature and the tobacco warms up. One portion of tobacco is usually enough for 35 - 60 minutes of smoking.
