• Q: What is the difference between dry tobacco versus E-liquid?

  E-liquid : E- Liquid is the fluid that fuels the Electronic Cigarette. It is what provides the nicotine solution and the flavoring to your Electronic Cigarette. It is the vapor in which you exhale that mimics the traditional tobacco smoke.

• Q: What is a Hookah and  how do I setup my new Hookah?

  An oriental tobacco pipe with a long, flexible tube that draws the smoke through water contained in a bowl.
   
  Follow these easy steps to enjoy your new Hookah:
  
  1. Place hookah stem into the glass vase. The fitting should be airtight.
   2. Place the metal tray over the top of the hookah stem. 
   3. Insert hose end with hose gasket into hose port on hookah stem.
   4. If your hookah model comes with an air release valve, unscrew it to make sure there is a ball bearing inside. Screw the valve back on. 
   5. Check the air flow on your hookah by putting your hand over the top of the hookah stem and sucking in with the hose. There should be little to no air intake. If your hookah model has a check valve, with your hand still on top of the hookah stem, blow through the hose. You should hear air expelled out through the check valve.
   6. Remove the hookah stem from the vase and fill the vase with water. Put the hookah stem back on vase. The stem should be submerged about an inch into the water.
   7. Break up the shisha tobacco as you gently lay it into the clay bowl. You will want to sprinkle it in so that it is loose enough for air to pass through. The shisha tobacco should be filled to the rim of the bowl, but no higher, as this will cause it to burn quickly.
   8. If you are using a metal screen, place it on top of the bowl. If you are using foil, wrap the foil over the head so that it fits tightly. Make sure to poke holes into the foil so that air can pass through. The holes should not be too large as this too will cause the tobacco to burn quickly.
   9. Place the clay bowl on top of the hookah stem with the bowl gasket in between the hookah stem and the bowl. The clay bowl should fit tightly.
   10. Light your coals. If you have instant lighting coals, you can light them with a lighter or match. Other coals will need a stove or a torch. Wait for the coals to become red hot all over before placing them on top of your clay bowl. Be careful not to add too many coals as your smoke will become harsh.
   11. Inhale on your hose. It may take a minute or two before the hookah is smoking properly.
