Shisha Shop - Where to Find My Shisha Supplies?

By John McCree


These days, you can see quite a few hookah bars and hookah shops in the U.S. primarily because of the popularity of hookahs. There is an ever increasing demand of hookahs and shisha in the market. Just like any other product in the modern times, most of the shisha sales take place on the Internet. It does not imply that a local shisha shop does not have any sales. It has a lot of sales. You can easily find shisha shops in areas where there are a lot of hookah bars; places such as populated towns and college towns.

What Do They Sell at Hookah Shops?

Generally, any item associated with smoking shisha is found at a store. This includes all the parts of the smoking device, commonly referred to as the "hookah", as well as maintenance equipment, and the shisha tobacco itself. Popular store items consist of:

1. Tobacco - This is the flavorful tobacco, which is burned to create the smoke. A few of the common brands include Starbuzz, Al Fakher, Romman, Fumari, Al Tawareg, Fantasia, and Nakhla.

2. Hookah Pipes - It is the smoking device that is used to purify and inhale shisha smoke. Hookah pipes come in a wide variety of sizes, designs, and price ranges. Your decision depends upon how you want to use your hookah. If you want your hookah to double as a decoration piece, you should buy a classy hookah pipe. If you want to take your hookah with you while traveling, a smaller hookah pipe would be considerably better for you.

3. Charcoal - Without fire, hookahs would be impossible to smoke. You can find a selection of charcoals at almost every shisha shop. All the charcoals are not the same and charcoals can have considerably different characteristics. Some charcoals are "self-lighting", allowing the smoker to light one portion of the charcoal, and the rest will ignite itself. Other charcoals have to be heated up in a fire or with a special charcoal heater. Most point out that self lighting charcoals burn out quickly and that the temperature of the charcoal isn't optimal causing chemical taste in a hookah session.

4. Hookah Accessories - Everything that you can use to improve your hookah experience is known as hookah accessory. Hookah accessories can include rotating stands, multiple heads, covers, screens, mouth tips and much more. Two of the most common accessories are steel charcoal screen and hookah grommets. A charcoal screen is used instead of aluminum foil and a grommet is used to airtight the hookah at the connecting parts.

Modern Day Shisha Stores

Like anything, shisha-related products can be bought online often more easily than walking or driving to the local shop. Although, there are 3 disadvantages of buying your products online:

1. You will have to wait a few days for the product to arrive

2. Can't physically check the products before buying

3. No merchant to ask questions to

Online buying is ideal when the purchaser is more experienced and knows what flavor he or she wants, which brands he trusts, and is willing to wait a few days for the purchase to arrive.

If this is a route you are ready to take, a quick Google search can lead you to some fantastic resources to facilitate an order.
