Accessories make or break a shisha session. Here they are organised by function, not by brand: what holds the tobacco, what manages the heat, what carries the smoke, what keeps it clean and what protects it when you move it. Each group has its own page because each one is shopped for differently.
Which accessories you really need
Shisha accessories fall into two groups: the ones you need to set it up and the ones that help you maintain it. The first group includes the bowl, the hose, the base, the tongs and the heat management device or foil. The second includes cleaning brushes, spare grommets and seals and carry cases.
The rule of thumb is simple: the parts in contact with heat and water need replacing every so often, while the body of the shisha lasts for years. That is why it is worth always having grommets, a spare hose and brushes to hand.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I change the hose?
A silicone hose lasts for years if you wash it; a leather or fabric one is best replaced every season because it holds on to flavours.
Which accessories are universal?
Bowls and hoses usually are, because the grommet does the fitting. Trays, purge valves and seals depend on the model: check before ordering or email us at info@bakkalistore.es.
How often should grommets be changed?
When they no longer seal and you notice a loss of pressure when you block the draw. They are the cheapest part and the one that makes the biggest difference.
What is essential on day one?
Bowl, hose, tongs, charcoal and foil or a heat management device. We sum it up in what you need to make a shisha.
