What is hookah aluminum foil?
Hookah aluminum foil, also called shisha foil, is a kind of aluminum foil used for hookah. It is a necessary accessory for hookah. It is used to cover the hookah bowl and put hookah charcoal on it.
There are several holes in the hookah foil to allow air to flow through. The hookah bowl, hookah foil and hookah charcoal work together to ensure that the hookah receives even heat while smoking.

FAQ
How to use hookah foil
Place the hookah foil over the hookah bowl, making sure it is tight and secure. If you are using non-perforated hookah foil, then use a hookah poke or use a needle to poke a few small holes in the hookah foil to allow enough air to flow through while keeping the heat evenly distributed. Finally, hot charcoal is placed on the shisha foil and the shisha is allowed to heat up.
Can household aluminum foil replace hookah foil?
First off, household aluminum foil and hookah foil share many similarities, but they also have some important differences. Hookah foil is thicker than household aluminum foil. This also determines that thinner household aluminum foil, exposed to burning shisha charcoal, cannot be maintained for a long time.
On the other hand, the size of the hookah foil is designed according to the size of the hookah bowl, and usually needs to be punched, which also determines that the hookah foil is more efficient and convenient to use than household aluminum foil.
So while kitchen foil can be a good substitute in a pinch, household foil is generally not recommended for prolonged hookah use.
What can i use instead of aluminum foil for hookah?
As a last resort, household aluminum foil may be a good choice
But what you need to know is that household aluminum foil is usually much thinner than hookah foil. If you use household aluminum foil instead of hookah foil, you can use several more sheets of household aluminum foil and stack them together.
Can you smoke hookah without aluminum foil
There are two popular ways to smoke hookah without foil. The first is using charcoal on top of your tobacco, and the second one is using a Lotus HMD.
Hookah aluminum foil shiny side up or down
Simply put, it doesn't matter.
Aluminum foil has a shiny side and a matte side, which are formed by the production and processing technology of aluminum foil. The shiny side is the side that is in direct contact with the rolling mill. It is difficult to avoid without special needs.
But whether they are shiny or matte, they are essentially aluminum foil, so it really doesn’t matter which side is facing up or down.
