Frequently asked questions
What will you find in our guides?
Our guides cover shisha setup, bowls, charcoal, care and shisha tobacco as well as pod systems, draw styles and liquids. The articles are sorted by topic. Content about tobacco and vaping is intended for adults only.
Which shisha bowl suits me?
That depends mainly on the tobacco and the heat management. A phunnel has a raised centre hole and the tobacco sits in a ring around it. A multi-hole bowl has several holes and the hot air is drawn through the tobacco.
What is the difference between MTL and DL?
MTL stands for mouth to lung: the vapour is first drawn into the mouth and the draw is tight. DL stands for direct lung: the vapour is inhaled directly and the draw is open. The guide “MTL or DTL” explains which devices and liquids fit.
How we know this
We are the Hookain Onlineshop from Cologne and have been developing our own hookah heads and accessories since late 2019. We test every series ourselves and maintain the product data in the shop. Where we don't have reliable information, we say so – better honest than made up.
