My first shisha - this is what you have to pay attention to!

Introduction

Shishas, also known as water pipes, have long since found their way into the Western world and are particularly popular with teenagers and young adults. If you are also interested in smoking shisha and want to try your first shisha, then you have come to the right place! This blog will provide you with all the important information you should know before buying and enjoying your first shisha.

1. Set the budget

The first step in choosing your first hookah is determining your budget. Shishas come in different price ranges and the value for money can vary greatly. Consider how much you're willing to spend to find a hookah that meets your needs and preferences.

2. Choose the right shisha

Now the question arises as to which type of shisha is best for you. There are different types, each offering different benefits:

2.1 Travel/Outdoor Shisha

If you would like to take your shisha outside, travel or outdoor shishas are ideal. They are compact and easy to transport, often equipped with a carrying bag. The short smoking distance ensures an intense taste and a pleasant smoking experience.

2.2 Small & compact shisha

Small and compact shishas are suitable for use at home or on the desk. Models like the Dschinni Junior or the Dschinni Blowoff are approx. 50 cm high and still offer good stability.

2.3 Large & robust shisha

If you prefer something big and impressive, shishas like the Aztec Shisha or the Mio 2.0 are just right for you. These models are known for their robustness and stand stable on the ground.

2.4 Single-hose shisha

If you are a leisurely smoker and want to enjoy the full aroma of tobacco, then a single-hose shisha is perfect for you. They offer an intense smoke volume and are easy to use. Recommended models are the Dschinni Roxx or Dschinni Foxx.

2.5 Multi-hose shisha

A multi-hose shisha is recommended for sharing with friends. So you can smoke together and share the fun. Models with two or four hoses, such as the Dschinni Mio 2.0 and Dschinni Aztec, are perfect for this.

3. Functions of the shisha

When choosing your first shisha, the functions also play an important role. Here are some features you should consider:

3.1 Closed chamber system

Shishas with a closed chamber system enable a special smoking experience. All smoke is blown out of the bowl to allow fresh smoke to flow in. This gives you a full taste experience without a scratchy throat.

3.2 Blow-off system

The blow-off system makes blowing out the smoke fun. There are different variants, such as the outlet on the plate, and in combination with the closed chamber system, fresh smoke always remains in the bowl.

3.3 Purge System

The purge system allows stale smoke to be blown out without removing the balls on the end hose section. This keeps your shisha fresh and ready for use.

4. Proper cleaning and care

In order to keep your shisha in top condition for a long time and to ensure an optimal taste experience, regular cleaning and care is important. You can find step-by-step instructions in another blog post that shows you how to properly clean your shisha.

Conclusion

With this information you are now well prepared to buy and enjoy your first shisha. Choose the right hookah according to your budget, smoking habits and preferences, and don't forget to clean and maintain it regularly to keep it in top condition.
