Fans of a non-standard way of smoking, who are not able to part with their habit for a long time, can not worry, since now there is a portable hookah for these purposes. What is such a device and how does it differ from the usual models?
Detailed description
The first to tackle a similar problem was the Chinese company Mitsuba. Established in 1997 in the province of Guangzhou, the company devoted a lot of time to developing different models of hookahs and various accessories for them. In addition to products intended for the mass consumer, the company is engaged in the production of individual and even exclusive products. The latest novelty of the company was portable hookah.
This device consists of the following main parts:
- Flask metal with a cover. She simultaneously plays the role of a mine and a bulb.
- A hose with a mouthpiece mounted on it.
- A tube that sits inside a jar.
- Bowl with seal.
- Two protective caps. One of them is put on the cup, and the other on the flask itself.
- Genuine leather carrying strap.
Such a portable hookah can be safely taken with you on the road. The device is very convenient and practical. It can be easily moved from place to place and smoke even on the go.
Principle of operation
Portable hookah is very easy to use. In order to light it, you must perform the following steps:
- Pour clean cool water into the flask.
- Lower the tube into it so that it is immersed in a liquid for a couple of centimeters.
- To put on a sealant and to establish on it a bowl. The individual parts must fit snugly against each other, leaving no gaps.
- Put tobacco in the bowl and then fix the stand on which the coal will be.
- Cover the structure with a second cap. It will not allow the coals to fall during movement.
- Install cover on top. She will not allow the ash to fly out.
- Insert the hose into the special hole and fasten the mouthpiece on it.
After that, it remains only to fasten the belt and put it on the shoulder. In this position, a hookah can be worn without fear of any negative consequences. Being at the level of the hips, it absolutely does not interfere with walking and helps to feel comfortable in any situation.
Original addition
In recent years, many countries have raised the issue of reducing the level of danger to smokers. Therefore, quite timely, a portable hookah pipe appeared on sale. In principle, this device more closely resembles an additional element for cleaning smoke. Such a device is intended for smoking shredded tobacco and even ordinary cigarettes.
Externally, the device looks like a familiar handset, but some of its components perform slightly different functions. In a collapsible form, such a hookah consists of two parts:
- A transparent plastic container with a lid, into which a tube is inserted that imitates a hose with a mouthpiece. It also has a hole designed to fill the tank with liquid.
- A metal thimble with a thin section that acts as a bowl. It is fixed to the container using a threaded connection.
The metal parts are made of brass and are quite environmentally friendly. In order for the device to start working, it is necessary:
- Pour water into the tank.
- Attach the thimble to the lid.
- Put the tobacco inside and light it.
After that, you can drag on and continue to smoke, choosing a convenient place for yourself. In principle, the device works like a regular tube with only one difference. The smoke that the smoker inhales is further cleaned with water. In addition, instead of tobacco, you can insert a regular cigarette into the thimble.
Miniature device
Manufacturers from China do not leave hookah lovers unattended. So, quite recently a rather interesting mini-hookah appeared on sale. The small portable device is a plastic cylinder with a side hole.
In its upper part there is a recess in which consumables are placed using special forceps. And to isolate them from the environment, a cover is provided. A silicone hose with a mouthpiece tip is inserted into the cylinder bore. The device is very compact. Its height does not exceed 20 centimeters. The length of the hose is about one meter. This allows you to freely hold it in your hand, placing the main structure in a car or on a table. Manufacturers offer different colors for the device so that the owner can feel as comfortable as possible while smoking. The device is outwardly simple, but it allows you to solve one main problem - smoking anywhere and when you want.
Price of pleasure
Now many want to buy a portable hookah. The purchase price will depend on which model the future owner will choose for himself. Indeed, most of the proposed products are made in China, so the manufacturing country in this case does not play a role. The cost of such products also depends on the configuration. Some manufacturers implement only the basic device. The smoker will have to buy the rest on his own. Most expensive, of course, will cost customers a hookah on a belt from the company Mitsuba.
In stores, its minimum price is 2000 rubles. This is understandable, because such a device resembles the original model of a popular device more than others. So, “Mini Shisha” plastic cylinders cost from 20 to 25 dollars. And more simplified models, provided that they are incomplete, can cost as little as $ 2.5. This is very little, given the huge desire of the smoker to become the owner of a hookah.
