How to set up a shisha pipe in ten simple steps

1.    The first thing you should do is fill the base of your Shisha Pipe with water (add some ice if you want a really cool experience).

2.    Now connect your pipe to the base, making sure the bottom of the pipe is submerged.

3.    Next, connect your shisha hose, or if applicable, hoses to to your pipe.

4.    Take your bowl and pack it with flavouring, be it tobacco style or steam stone

5.    Once the bowl has been filled apply some aluminum foil across the top of the bowl tightly (like a ‘drum’), then evenly pierce some holes in the foil with a needle or toothpick.

6.    Ensure the ashtray is connected to the top of the main shisha pipe.

7.    Screw or push your prepared bowl into place at the top of the main pipe column.

8.    Place 2-3 coals on the top of the foil covering the bowl.

9.    Now light the coals and wait 2-5 minutes for the coals to get the shisha started.

10.  Sit back, relax and enjoy your first (of many) shisha experiences.
