Steps

  1. 1
    Prepare your materials. Prepare your hookah, the tobacco, a sheet of tin foil, a pin, and have access to water.

  2. 2
    Place the tobacco into the head of the hookah. Grab a small handful of tobacco and begin to place it into the head. Repeat until Head is filled.
  3. 3
    Tightly wrap the foil around the head. Completely wrap the top part of the head with the tin foil. Make sure it's tight and won't easily come off.
  4. 4
    Use the pin, or toothpick, to poke small holes around the head. Although patterns are not vital, symmetry is. You want an even distribution of holes over the total area of the wrap.
  5. 5
    Fill the base of the hookah up with water. Regular tap water or bottled water will do. After doing so, put the center piece of the hookah inside the base and lock it in.
  6. 6
    Place the head on top of the center piece. The bottom of the head should be lined with a small rubber material. This allows you to squeeze the center piece tightly into the head.
  7. 7
    Place the hose into the center piece. There will be a small section sticking out near the bottom of the center piece. Similar to how you inserted the center piece into the head, use the same method to insert the hose into the center piece.
  8. 8
    Your hookah is now prepared! Simply light a designated charcoal, place it on top of the head, and begin inhaling through the hose.
