The shaft should be medium in size, made of stainless steel. During smoking, moisture accumulates in the mine, which leads to corrosion, so the use of high-quality metal is extremely important.

Therefore, the use of an average mine height will be convenient for a beginner and for frequent smokers.

If the foil comes in contact with the gas station during smoking, it may start to burn. Then the hookah will become bitter, and smoking it will be unpleasant.
Coal
