Which shisha head is the best?

Before we dive into the details, we should clarify what actually makes a good shisha head. The answer may surprise you: There is no such thing as THE best shisha head. To have a really pleasant smoking experience, the shisha head, the head attachment and the head construction must fit together. In another article, we show you how to create optimal setups for your heads. Below we offer you an overview of different types of shisha heads that we can recommend from our own experience.

Head types in comparison

Good multi-hole heads – our top 3

The multi-hole bowl is one of the most common types of shisha bowl and is available in various materials such as clay, stone, silicone and even glass. Usually a multi-hole bowl is smoked with aluminum foil or a chimney attachment. Multiple holes in the bowl allow for a solid draft, but there is a chance that the holes will become clogged if the tobacco is pressed in too tightly. A tobacco sieve can help with this.

Good Phunnel Heads – Our Top 3

The phunnel head is very popular. In the middle of this head there is a larger hole around which the tobacco is distributed. This allows for an intensive draft, which can be reduced depending on the attachment. A phunnel head harmonizes particularly well with a suitable smoke box.

Our favorite Vortex head

The Vortex head is an interesting alternative to the Phunnel head. It combines the properties of a multi-hole and a Phunnel head. In the middle there is a raised area with smaller holes so that the tobacco does not lie directly on the holes. However, the advantages can vary depending on your experience.

The different head attachments

Aluminium foil

A traditional method of covering the head is to use aluminum foil. This is laid on top of each other several times and stretched over the multi-hole head. By poking holes in the aluminum foil, a draft can be allowed through. There is now a special shisha aluminum foil that is very suitable.

Chimney attachment

The chimney cap is a cost-effective alternative to aluminum foil. It consists of a grate that is placed over the head and regulates the heat in the head. This cap can be used in combination with a finer grate and coal for optimal heat management.

Smokebox HMD

Our preferred choice for a head attachment is the smokebox or the Heat Management Device (HMD). A smokebox allows you to regulate the heat optimally. The head construction can be challenging, but the investment is worth it. The material and shape of the smokeboxes vary depending on the model.

Finally, we would like to emphasize that the choice of shisha head depends on personal preference and experience. Try different types of heads and attachments to find out which one suits you best.

We personally at Dschinni have further developed all the heads and also offer them in glass, not just any glass, but the best glass on the market: high borosilicate glass. The advantage of this material over clay and stone is that the glass is completely neutral and does not absorb molasses. The problem that everyone knows about, with leaky heads, is a thing of the past. In addition, less heat is required because the head heats up relatively quickly, and cleaning is the easiest thing ever. With glass, you always get the perfect taste, without any unpleasant aftertastes.

Our high borosilicate glass is not only resistant to temperature fluctuations, but also taste-neutral, which takes your shisha experience to a new level. No more worries about excess molasses or unwanted taste changes. The high thermal conductivity of the glass ensures that the tobacco is heated evenly without burning. This means you always achieve the best possible taste result.

Cleaning the high borosilicate glass is effortless. You won't notice any residue or discoloration, and the glass stays crystal clear even after many smoking sessions. So you can concentrate on enjoying the best of your shisha without having to worry about time-consuming cleaning processes.

Overall, the high borosilicate glass offers a durable and high-quality option for shisha heads that not only impresses in terms of taste and heat management, but also stands for easy handling and care. If you are looking for the ultimate shisha experience, glass is definitely the right choice for you. Try it out and experience the difference for yourself!
