The V2Pro Series 3x is possible the best vape pen you can buy. Everything about it is excellent from the performance to its design. It has exceptional features like variable airflow and voltage that allow you to get the most from the vape juice.

It doesn’t pack the same amount of power as the Halo Tracer Twist which makes this an ideal selection for beginners.

JUUL Vape Pen

Our rating: 4.2 out of 5                    Cost: $$

JUUL is not like the vape pen on this list simply because it doesn’t offer much customization. It is smaller than the average pen and not refillable. Which is why it is lower down on the list.

The Best Selling Social Smoke for your Hookah Pipe

The Best Selling Social Smoke for your Hookah Pipe

When it comes to flavor, everybody has their own personal preference. It’s impossible to find one single flavor that will draw the same amount of satisfaction for each and every smoker out there. Or is it?

The number of flavors out there has rapidly increased in the last couple of years, mainly due to the hookah pipe’s increasing popularity and less punishing social stigma that exists around it. Today, it’s going to be impossible to identify which flavor suits every person best, but based on the history of sales of certain flavors, we can determine which flavors sell best. This article is going to focus on the 8 best selling flavors out there.

Al Fakher Shisha Flavors – Watermelon and Mint

Al Fakher Shisha Flavors is arguably the most unique and amazing shisha brick producers out there. This UAE-based company ships their original and remarkable flavors to countries all over the world. Their best selling item, Watermelon and Mint, is a high-grade shisha with the perfect blend of cool and sweet summer watermelon. The cool throat hit that extinguishes the heat of the sun, mixed with the refreshing agua fresca taste has made this shisha a must-try flavor for people in all regions.

The shisha is packed in a 250 gram can, enough for around 20 hookah bowls. The smooth, light, and fruity taste of the blend is a unique experience that people need to try at least once. The lingering aroma is pure awesomeness, but we wish that the throat hit was just a little stronger.

Social Smoke – Absolute Zero

The second best social smoke for your hookah pipe has to be Social Smoke’s Absolute Zero. This item also comes with the wintry, cool taste of menthol and peppermint. On a side note, some of the best selling hookah bricks are laced with mint or menthol for that refreshing feel down the throat and into the lungs.

Social Smoke produces some delicious mixes without use of artificial coloring, reducing the amount of additives we put into our bodies (a plus in our book). This US-based manufacturer makes their Absolute Zero with high-quality tobacco leaves straight from Germany. The company specializes in making strong, minty flavors.

If you want to try Absolute Zero, you need to act quickly since this product sells out in a blink of the eye.

Al Fakher Shisha Flavors – Double Apple

You know what’s better than one? Two. Al Fakher makes another chart-topping flavor known as Double Apple. This flavor is a blend of licorice, red delicious and granny smith, so you’re getting the best of all worlds. Not sure if you prefer tart over sweet? Try this tobacco brick and find out.

Some users even recommend first-time hookah smokers to smoke this blend since it delivers great flavor, smoothness in the throat, without the kickback that licorice-spiked tobacco tends to have.

Starbuzz – Sex on the Beach

This shisha brick is the same flavor as the cocktail it takes its name from. Numerous shisha producers have attempted the impossible and tried to incorporate an alcoholic-taste to their bricks, but they’ve always fallen short. This isn’t true for Starbuzz, and their alcohol-free alcohol-tasting blend is one to try.

Just like the drink, Sex on the Beach is a blend of fruits, including pineapple, orange, pomegranate, and cranberry. This is definitely a refreshing change of pace if you’re a mint-exclusive kind of smoker.

Starbuzz – Flower Power

Starbuzz makes another appearance on our list with their game-changing Flower Power can of shisha. Imagine inhaling the sweet taste of Skittles. That’s exactly what this shisha tastes like. This is definitely much different to the classic rose or jasmine shisha we see flooding the market.

This blend has a medium sweetness, full-body flavor, and produces a heck ton of smoke. If you’re looking for both smoke density and flavor, Flower Power is definitely the way to go.

Hookah Tobacco

Ugly Hookah Tobacco – Orange Keef

Don’t be put-off by the name of the company. Ugly Hookah Tobacco produces some of the best flavors available on the market. We especially like this company for their consistency in making high-quality, throat-grabbing, drive-us-crazy flavors. One of our favorites (and the world’s favorite, based on the sales data) is the Orange Keef.

As the name suggests, Orange Keef is a citrus-spiked shisha which adds a much-needed tang to their full-bodied tobacco taste. Not that we hate the tobacco taste, but the sweet and sour hint of orange makes this flavor one of the minty flavored shishas out there, especially when the mint begins to roll over your tongue and into your throats, giving it a minuscule tickle.

Pure Tobacco – Citrus Ice

As we mentioned before, wintry mint flavorings are a popular choice. Not just because they cool you down in the heat, but because they’re smooth in the throat and light in the lungs. Pure Tobacco makes some pretty awesome flavors, our personal favorite being Citrus Ice.

The company is famous for mixing both mint and peppermint into their shisha, but the citrus goodness really cuts through the double-cooling action. This flavor is a blend of an assortment of citrus fruits including grapefruit, lime, and orange. It’s a bit tangier than the Orange Keef by Ugly Hookah Tobacco, but in a good way.

Nakhla Shisha – Peach

One flavor that e-liquid and shisha makers tend to neglect is sweet peach. Nakhla Shisha has been experimenting with a wide assortment of flavors, but their Peach shisha sets this brand apart from the others. The now uses peppermint to spike their shisha with a refreshing breeze, appealing to the large cold-shisha-loving market out there.

There’s nothing that needs to be said about this flavor, in our opinion. Peach is a truly unique flavor that you don’t run into that often. We would have liked for the peach flavoring to be a little bit stronger, but we can forgive them for giving the nectarine more publicity in the smoke industry. We love almost all of Nakhla Shisha’s products, but the world seems to be in love with their peach flavored tobacco bricks most of all.

How to Blow a Heart Ring

Whether you smoke shisha or love to vape, chances are you are well aware of the variety of cool ways to blow the smoke. Learning cool ways to blow smoke only impresses friends but also keeps you entertained while you smoke. It is slightly easier to blow smoke in different ways with shisha a vape because the smoke is slightly heavier than that of a cigarette. However, without proper technique and a little practice, you won’t be able to get much done.

Our tips of blowing a heart ring, will not only impress your friends but also can be a romantic gesture for your other half. The following steps should help you achieve it:

  1. You want to start by inhaling as much smoke as you possibly can. A trick to taking in more smoke is, slightly lowering your jaw. This allows your mouth to take in more smoke. The more smoke you have, the more hearts you can make.
  2. After inhaling the smoke, open your mouth in the shape of an “O.” Keeping the smoke in, you can make a coughing gesture. Nothing too intense, just a small cough from your throat. The coughing motion shouldn’t be audible, that is how low intensity it needs to be.
  3. When you cough, it will push a ring of smoke out of your mouth.
  4. Once you have the ring down, you can try blowing out hearts.
  5. Follow the steps you did for the ring, as soon as the ring comes out of your mouth, you need to snap your fingers at the top of the ring. The process of snapping your finger on top of the ring will generate an air current that will alter the top and bend it. Make sure when you snap, it isn’t too strong. Otherwise, it will completely break the top of the ring off.

Once you have it down, you can easily blow more than one ring or alternate between a ring and heart. To ensure you have the right environment to perform this task, you need to make sure that there is no external air current in the room. So make sure all the doors and windows are closed. It may take some time to get the process down but don’t give up. Remember, you need to be gentle with the coughing motion when blowing the smoke out of your mouth and also when snapping your finger. You should be able to perfect the procedure after a little effort. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and try it.

Impress Your Friends With a Vape Tornado

These may look hard, but with a little practice and technique, you can easily perfect these tricks. So if you are ready to be cooler, we will teach you how to blow a vape tornado.

In order to perform a vape tornado, you will need a paper towel roll besides your vape or hookah. This will initially require a lot of practice, it isn’t easy as it requires concentration and a bit more than just blowing the smoke out a certain way. Here are the steps to blowing a vape tornado.

  1. You want to ensure you are in a room with zero air current. So shut all the windows and doors and make sure you are in a nice and quiet room. You will also need a flat, clean surface for you to blow the smoke on, so make sure that is present in the room.
  2. Get the paper towel roll ready, it’s easier if you get a roll that has no paper towel on it, makes it much easier to manage. You can even use a toilet roll if you like.
  3. Once you have your vape or hookah going, you start by inhaling as much smoke as you can. The more smoke you can manage, the better it the tornado.
  4. With the smoke inhaled, grab the paper towel roll and blow smoke through it, in a diagonal manner towards the surface.
  5. As you blow the smoke, you want to swipe it with your hand, upwards. The impact of the swipe upwards will form tornados.

The impact of your hand’s movement upward creates a split in the smoke and introduces air to the area which helps form the tornado. It may not be easy to do it on your first try, so you need to keep at it until you get it right. This is not the hardest of tricks but does require some practice. Once you master it, you can show off to your friends at parties.

When you perform a vape tornado, you want to make sure of the following:

  • The table surface should be cool. Smoke generally disappears faster on a hot surface, it sort of sticks to cooler ones so keeping it cool will help the smoke last a little longer.
  • You can experiment with the movement of your hand. This will allow you the perfect the tornado. The movement doesn’t have to be straight upward, so try different angles of moving your hand.
  • You need to blow gently through the paper towel roll otherwise the smoke will just go everywhere.

Smoke tricks are an easy way to impress your friends. So try this one out. Not only will you be the talk of the party but you will have your friends asking you to teach them.

Imperial Hookah Pen Reviews

With so many alternatives to cigarette replacement products we are sometimes spoilt for choice when looking for something that is suitable to our likes and needs. I look at different options that included e-cigarettes, vaporizers, chewing gum and other items. I visited a shop that specialized in sales of these items specifically and decided to get hold of an imperial hookah pen. To my amazement I was quite impressed with my first experience with this little smoking wonder. I always noticed the colorful disposable e cigs while buying my weekly stash of cigarettes and felt keen to try it. I have wanted to quit smoking for the last year and knew that I would need a replacement product so that I could still experience the habit without all the harm. Here are my thoughts on the imperial hookah pen. Read more about the benefits of quitting smoking.

Packaging and appearance

First of all I have learnt that this is a popular item and that many people enjoyed smoking hookah pens. I wanted to know what all the hype was about. When I first encountered the product I fell in love with the colorful packaging and suddenly realized that it was disposable. This made it a cost efficient and enjoyable item. It actually looked like a pen which I found to be quite compact and easy to keep on me at all times. I have many friends that are hookah experts and that enjoy smoking it occasionally and they advised me to try the imperial hookah pen first which I did. The pen was easy to unwrap which turned out to be a bonus considering how hard it is to unwrap just about anything these days. I liked the feel of the item as it was light and convenient to smoke and really represented an easy habit to adapt to.

E-cigarette or not?

After using the pen for the first time I was impressed that it looked like a disposable with a bit of class. It was easy to start up and I could conveniently inhale and enjoy the experience. I opted to go for the minimal nicotine, no tar option. I love just about anything strawberry so all in all this will be my chosen flavor for my first vaporizing experience. It was awesome! It didn’t cost an arm and a leg and it provided me with a great first smoke. The best thing about it was that it was disposable and didn’t make me cough or feel lightheaded at all. There was obviously no head-rush to deal with this time around. The taste was awesome and the experience even better. Click here to learn more about how to smoke a hookah pen. This pen boasts of only 6mg nicotine and no tar or any other dangerous chemicals.

Is it worth it?

Yes absolutely, as the advert for these e-cigs would boast I was actually able to get 600 puffs out of my imperial hookah pen. That is a lot of puffs for very little money and what really impressed me was that there was no difference in flavor from the first time that I used it. It stayed remarkably fresh and kept on tasting, looking and feeling like a real cigarette even though it was a completely different experience for me.  Read more about the benefits of smoking e-cigs.

Conclusion

The imperial hookah pen is a great product for those that enjoy smoking hookah and more especially for those that are looking for a bang for the buck e-cigarette experience. If you are one of the many that enjoy smoking hookah occasionally but don’t enjoy visiting a hookah lounge for example this is a great product that you can enjoy anywhere and best of all in the comfort of your own home. With up to 600 puffs you will enjoy the freedom and diversity that this product offers you. As previously mentioned it also looks great and actually feels and tastes like a real cigarette but will never cost you as much as real cigarettes would so make sure you get hold of one of these pens to enjoy a different way of smoking. It is amazing to see how much money one can save by giving up smoking and the best part is you can still enjoy an inhalation experience that won’t release half the chemicals that you normally are exposed to with normal cigarettes. Before lighting up you should considering plugging in.

I would say that with so many products in the market that have been specifically manufactured to replace cigarettes I have a respect for hookah and would lean toward this option the most because it has been around for over 700 years and have been smoked by Middle Easterners for centuries. The benefit of starting hookah instead of smoking cigarettes is that it has a great social following and that there are many lounges that cater just for people that enjoy hookah so it obviously is something that can be enjoyed with friends or on your own in the comfort of your own home. There is a reason why people from ancient times chose to smoke hookah and why there weren’t as many cases of lung cancer or asthma back then. It must have been a healthier choice that was only done on occasion and generally something that brought people together. I have now become part of the hookah community and with many other enthusiasts we are trying and trading different flavors while also enjoying the odd disposable pen now and then. I don’t think I will ever go back to smoking actual cigarettes again as it made me feel a lot unhealthier and it really cost me a lot more.

Is Hookah Addictive?

There are lots of traditions around the world and one of the most popular has become one of the favorite options to replace cigarettes. Hookah is a new way to enjoy the habit of smoking without any nicotine. Smoking cigarettes is most probably one of the hardest habits to kick and there are thousands who are willing to try any method to stop.

It is however incredibly hard to quit smoking once you have started and with the growing hookah industry smokers believe that it has become much easier for them to get rid of the nasty habit. Vendors claim that there is little to no nicotine in the products that are used which gives smokers the opportunity to become used to a habit that is far less addictive. But is it really?

When wondering and asking is hookah addictive we should investigate all the different products that are available on the market to help you quit smoking cigarettes. There are so many to choose from where in the olden days gum that contained nicotine was the most popular choice. It is no secret that the popularity of hookah has gone up quite a bit. Hookah is a water pipe that can be used to smoke an herbal mixture or perhaps tobacco depending on your preference. The pipe has a long tube through which smoke is inhaled. This form of smoking has been around for many years and originates from the Middle East. It is a form of social smoking and offers many different kinds of mixtures to use. Today you can find fruity and candy flavored options that are quite enjoyable. Click here to read more about the history of hookah.  This form of smoking has an interesting tale to tell involving ancient times and cultures that include the Persians which was an ancient race.

It is a fact that most mixtures that are used for hookah contain less chemicals and nicotine than cigarettes. There are even hookah lounges around the world that cater for the ever growing market of smokers. According to a survey hookah is actually more popular with men between 18 and 24. According to the same survey that has been conducted they have found that 17% of high school students actually smoke hookah.

Most people that smoke hookah are convinced that it is not addictive where in fact it has been proven that it is not as addictive as cigarettes.  It is said by specialists that as with any habit you need to curb how much you smoke though as it would completely defeat the purpose of trying to cut down on cigarettes and then attending a hookah session that lasts up to several hours. Experts say that it also largely depends on which mixtures you smoke while enjoying hookah. Some of the mixtures contain a large amount of nicotine which means smoking it would cause the equivalent of smoking up to 10 cigarettes per day. When going to a hookah lounge make sure to spend only a few sessions inside as you will be exposed to a lot of smoke. Take a look here at other ways to enjoy hookah at home. It is true that hookah is a great social tool and can make a party so much better but try and refrain from smoking any mixtures that has a high nicotine volume in order to really benefit from hookah.

Hookah smoking is an old tradition that has been around for over 700 years which means it deserves some respect as an option to replace cigarette smoking and with some incentive you won’t end up spending a fortune on it as you would on regular cigarettes. This once again proves that to make it worth your while to dump the cigarettes and to start hookah you should perhaps start slow and try all the different herbal mixes that are available. Find time to enjoy it and make sure that you don’t smoke too often because as with everything in life too much of a good thing really isn’t good. Young people are lured to hookah because of the social atmosphere and the fun of it and yes it would seem like a better alternative to smoking. As a smoker I remember that I started smoking for social reasons and that in the beginning it really was a social thing until I found myself unable to wake up in the morning without having a cigarette or two. I have found that smoking hookah has helped me to get rid of the cigarettes as I personally smoke much less hookah then cigarettes. I also enjoy trying out different mixtures and finding what I like the most. I personally enjoy the fruity mixtures as it really tastes and smells great and honestly I don’t feel like I have to have it as often as I used to have cigarettes on a daily basis.

The general consensus is that you can get addicted to hookah if you smoke brands that contain a lot of nicotine or chemicals and that you might also be addicted to the social environment that goes hand in hand with hookah. The best thing after all is to not smoke anything at all and to keep yourself occupied with healthier and better habits. Many smokers swear by hookah and say that they were able to stop smoking cigarettes thanks to this ancient smoking tradition. Everything is so readily available today that it is sometimes hard not to try something for the first time. It is better to find good and wholesome hobbies rather than to get lost inside a hookah den while looking for new mixtures to explore.

Hookah Tricks – How to French Inhale

Today, places for vaping (vape shops) are as common as normal bars, basically a steam shop is a bar that can vary by design, but all are similar in the services they offer. In a vape shop, people are primarily directed to socialization by taking e-fluids or e-cigarettes, even some end up engaging in activities such as those that end up blowing the biggest steam.

A good round smoke can be a stationary show while smoking. Smoke tricks show sophistication and smoke control that many people do not. So we have developed smoke tips to inhale O French so you can succeed at your next meeting.

Also known as the Irish Waterfall, the French inhalation is a shisha smoking trick that can prove to your audience that you are a real shisha smoker. You can do this trick with a Hookah Coal. In this trick, it creates a large cloud of smoke that comes out in circle. As long as you feel comfortable smoking with pipe hookah, you can easily pull this tip.

A good trick takes a few strokes to understand, but as soon as you do, you’ll do it every time you smoke. The most important step to achieve this tricks is to control your smoke consumption and know how much you can handle. There is nothing worse than trying to make a good round and coughing up your lungs then everybody makes fun of you. Once you have breathed a good amount of smoke, follow these steps to get a perfect O’s.

  • Inhale the hose, but keep the smoke in your mouth, but out of your lungs. You can do it using the smoke to move around your cheek. You can also put your tongue in your mouth. You should inhale as much smoke as you can without being submerged.
  • Exhale your smoke to the point where it becomes a perfect O-material. Once you have light smoke from your lungs, create the “O” shape with your mouth as you hold the smoke in your lungs.
  • While your mouth has an “O” shape, place your tongue in the middle of your mouth.
  • Exhale the thick smoke in short pauses, almost as if you were coughing so easily. This should create a chronic O to blind everyone. If you are unsuccessful, try again.

French inhaling, trick, steps in summar

  • Take a long trail of shisha without inhaling
  • Slowly open your mouth
  • Slide the lower lip
  • Push the smoke with the tongue

Effects of Hookah Smoking

Doing a French inhale might be fun, but I thought it would give you some light on some of the effects of hookah through smoking so it would not be a habit that would harm your health.

Mood fluctuations influence the central nervous system

Many believe that Hookah smoking is much better than smoking cigarettes, because tobacco like the one you smoked from a water pipe is mixed with water. For this reason, the effect for water pipes would be less. It is a myth. The truth is that the water hose brings more side effects to your body.
Nicotine is usually very good for the taste of smokers, so people will find it so hard to stop smoking. Nicotine reaches the brain in seconds and makes you feel more energetic for a while. But as this effect diminishes, you feel tired and hurt more. That is why you want to feel how you feel when you have smoked hookah so you start smoking more often to feel good, unknowing that you are becoming a shisha addict and you cannot stop because the withdrawal symptoms are more difficult, especially if one cannot afford to seek professional help.

Cancer

Irritation which is caused by use of tobacco or juices from tobacco will increases your chances getting oral cancer. Hookah smoking will have more effects than cigar burners or those using water pipes. Tobacco and smoke tubes contain many toxic substances known to cause lung cancer, bladder cancer and oral cancer. A typical 1-hour session of the smoke line makes the user consume as much as a hundred to two hundred times the volume of smoke from a single cigarette

Conclusion

You can have fun by doing French inhalation, but do not forget that this should not be a habit as the health risks are higher.

Effects of Hookah Smoking

Shisha is usually taken a group, whereby a single mouthpiece is passed from one person to the other. Water pipes are used to prepare specially designed tobacco, which is usually seasoned. They are also called a number of different names, including hookah, argileh, shisha, Hubble bubble and Goza. Tobacco is no less toxic in a water pipe like a cigarette, and the water in the water pipe does not filter the toxic ingredients in the tobacco smoke. Water pipe smoking can actually inhale more smoke than cigarette smokers due to the large smoke that breathe in the smoke session which can last as long as 60 minutes. So forget the myth that hookah is less harmful than cigarettes, the best thing for your health is to stay away from both Hookah and cigarettes.

Here are some of the side effects caused by the water pipe –

Nausea and cough

Inhalation can cause excessive coughing or spit, and coughing can also occur if someone is blowing smoke on the face. The World Health Organization said that smokers tend to smoke until they meet their needs and know when they have to stop in order to avoid nausea. Water pipe has more nicotine,  this can cause a person to smoke and does not know when to stop as it turns addictive. This can lead to abdominal pain or nausea.

Cancer

Irritation caused by exposure to tobacco juice increases the risk of developing oral cancer. It is likely that shisha will get more effects than cigar smokers or those that use water pipe. Coal, which is used to heat tobacco in water pipes, increases health risks. Even after passing through water containing smoke produced by a water pipe, high levels of toxic compounds, including carbon monoxide, heavy metals and carcinogenic chemicals. Tobacco and smoke pipe contains many toxic substances, which are known to cause lung, bladder, and oral cancer. A typical one hour session of smoking water pipe makes the user 100 to 200 times the volume of smoke from a single cigarette

Dizziness and dehydration (headache)

Potential dizziness can occur during an experience of smoking water pipe, or may occur after the smoking, just as the person stops smoking from the water pipe and stands up one might experience some effect of lightheadedness or slight headache. Dehydration briefly kicks in if the person is not drinking enough water before smoking the water pipe. Dizziness happens because smoking water pipe can be a pleasant experience, and those who first attempt to try the water pipe, can end up taking in too much of the vapor and this will eventually cause dehydration.

Nicotine affects blood flow to the genital areas

Smoking can reduce the levels of sex hormones in men and women. This can cause a decrease in sexual desire. For women, it can lead to sexual dissatisfaction which is as a result of reduced lubrication and achieving the ability to reach orgasm becomes impossible, this is hell to actually go through this if you are a woman why subject yourself to such form of torture that you can just easily avoid by ensuring you are not using Hookah. While in men, this can reduce sexual performance, which then again brings another problem to a man. With low performance you will lose confidence and can lead to break ups among couples.

Mood swings as it affects the central nervous system (addiction)

Many believe that smoking a water pipe is much better than smoking because tobacco as the one smoked via water pipe is mixed with water. For this reason, the effect would be less for water pipe. This is a myth the truth is that the water pipe brings more side effects on your body.

Nicotine is usually very good in taste for smokers, so people find it so hard to quit smoking. Nicotine reaches the brain in seconds and makes you feel more energetic for a while. But since this effect decreases, you feel tired and hurt more. Therefore you will desire to feel the way you felt when you smoked Hookah so you will start smoking more often as to be able to maintain the feeling, without you knowing you are an addict of shisha and you cannot stop since withdrawal symptoms will prove more challenging especially if you will not have the means to seek professional help.

The development of insulin resistance

This will lead to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and its complications, which tend to grow faster than in people who do not smoke. I f you smoke your body will develop insulin resistance mechanism this will then increase your chances of having diabetes.

Affects skin, hair and nails

Your hands and feet are not immune to the effects of smoking. Smoking increases the risk of nail fungus infections. The obvious signs of smoking are the changes in a person skin. The substances contained in tobacco smoke actually change the structure of the skin. A recent study has shown that smoking significantly increases the risk of squamous cell this cell called squamous cell carcinoma is the one that cause skin cancer. This is a serious health issue as you cannot cut off your skin or ask for a transplant to stop the cancer from spreading.

Serious infections

The exchange of water pipes can result in the transmission of serious infections, such as tuberculosis and hepatitis. People who smoke Hookah do share a single pipe this is too risky as there is exchange of saliva from different people and some might have cracked lips which is common among smokers since smoking causes dehydration. The cracked lips make it easy for one to get infected or even affect others if he/she has a communicable disease.

Risks for the newborn

Water pipe smoking mothers are more likely to bare children with low birth weight than women who give birth without a history of smoking. On the other hand, these children that are underweight are more likely prone to developing lung problems at their tender age.

What is a Hookah Pen?

A Hookah pen is a device similar to an electronic cigarette. It uses a heating element to vaporize a liquid flavoring that is then inhaled. The Hookah pen has the same basic components as an electronic cigarette which consist of a cartridge, an atomizer (heating element), and a battery. The cartridge holds the liquid flavoring (e-liquid) and is also the mouthpiece where the vapor is inhaled from. When the battery is turned on (usually a lithium ion battery) it turns on the heating element which heats up the liquid, turning it into vapor.

The Hookah pen is commonly referred to as a Shisha pen, or E Shisha (electronic Shisha). As well as the components it shares with an electronic cigarette, the Hookah pen is equipped with an LED light function that indicates when the Hookah pen is on and when a puff is taken. A microprocessor is in control of the LED indicator and the heating element.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people hear the words Hookah or Shisha pen and associate it with the popularized Hookah pipe. A hookah pipe is a uniquely designed water pipe that is used to smoke various blends of tobacco. This is done by the combustion of dry, hookah tobacco. There is no combustion with a Hookah/Shisha pen because the liquid flavoring is being only being heated, there is no substances being burned like there are when you smoke Hookah.

Types of Hookah Pens

●Disposable Hookah/Shisha pens are designed for easy use without having to take the pen apart. The pens are portable and can be used anywhere that smoking is allowed. Prepackaged with different flavors, disposable Hookah pens typically offer between 250 and 500 puffs. The number of puffs can increase depending on the brand. A puff is measured by a one second drag from the hookah pen. Once the portable Hookah is used up, it can be disposed of without any problem.

●Rechargeable and refillable Hookah pens are made to come apart so that the cartridge can be refilled with the e-liquid when there is no more. The heating coil inside of the atomizer can be replaced too, as they do not tend to last very long. Rechargeable and refillable Hookah/Shisha pens can last for a long time with the proper care. Charging your Hookah pen can vary depending on the brand of your device. There will be instructions with your purchase to describe how to properly take it apart and how to charge it.

●Starter kits are made for your convenience when it comes to just learning to smoke Hookah or for maintaining your Hookah/Shisha pen.

Various brands will include less or more of the different materials needed for a Hookah pen.

Are Hookah Pens Bad for You?

When it comes to smoking Hookahs, Hookah pens are less harmful than smoking cigarettes which involves burning and combustion. However, this does not mean that it is overall a healthy choice. Some Hookah pens or flavoring liquids can contain nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive substance that is known to contain thousands of harmful toxins and chemicals. The liquid flavorings that do in fact contain nicotine offer various amounts of it ranging from 6 mg to 18 mg. If you are looking for an alternative to smoking cigarettes, smoking Hookah/Shisha pens that contain nicotine is not going to help you stop quitting if that is the goal when smoking Hookah.

As well as possibly containing nicotine, flavoring liquid has other compounds in it. Propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, distilled water, and flavoring (the flavoring is mostly made from dry herbs).

Propylene glycol is a common ingredient in many products and has been certified as safe by the FDA, it has a very low toxicity level. The only issue is that it can be an irritant to some people.

Vegetable glycerin is also a common ingredient in many products from food to cosmetics. It is also verified safe by the FDA and the only downfall is if you happen to have an allergy to it.

Overall, the long term effects of smoking Hookah are not known. As mentioned above, it is safer than smoking cigarettes. However, there are always risks of obtaining a viral respiratory infection as there is with any substance that is being inhaled.
