E-shisha Explained


An e-shisha is also known as a shisha pen, shisha stick or can even be called an e-hookah.  It offers a practical option to those smokers who are trying to cut down on their tobacco smoking habits. Yet, at the same time the shisha pen is also starting to become a popular product among non-smokers as well or by those who occasionally enjoy the experience of a smoke or shisha in a shisha bar.

·         How to use a shisha pen?
Using a shisha pen is a bit different from using an analogue cigarette and is also more pleasant and safer. To start off, there is no smoke involved when using it, just vapour which is quite safe to inhale in such quantities. This allows users to take in deeper and longer drags with a shisha pen when compared to a cigarette or a traditional shisha.  This is where the enjoyment factor plays in; from the quality of exhales and the flavor that the shisha pen has to offer.
                                                                         
·         Smoking a shisha pen versus a traditional cigarette
There is a huge list of advantages that one might get from smoking a shisha pen rather than smoking a real cigarette
o   There is no harmful smoke that needs to be inhaled
o   No chance of ashes floating around making the surroundings dirty with no smoky smell in the surrounding area
o   No more chemicals to inhale that can lead to life threatening diseases for the users such as respiratory complications, heart diseases or lung cancer
o   They are more cost effective; for example a quality shisha pen would provide its users with approximately 500 to 600 puffs which is equal to 40 to 50 cigarettes.
o   The choice of available flavours is astounding with everything ranging from chocolate, mocha, and cappuccino to an assortment of fruity and sweet flavors, with new ones coming out frequently enough
o   Users also have the option to create their own desired flavors by simply mixing up the liquids right at home.
o   As there is no harmful smoke or any passive smoking risks, shisha pens can be used anywhere the user desires without creating a disturbance for others around him.

·         What type of shishas pens are there?
There are three main types of shisha pen that are available at the moment. The first one is the disposable shisha pen where the device can only be used once and are mostly sold in a multipack of 5 to 6 different flavors. Another option to consider is the rechargeable / refillable shisha pen which has the option to be reused as they can be refilled by using bottles of flavored liquid of the user’s choice.

The big battery tank shisha pens looks nothing like a cigarette as they are bigger in size than traditional cigarettes or standard shisha pens. They require less charging than other types and are able to carry much more liquid. They mostly have a button installed on the device which needs to be pressed while inhaling. The button also helps in preventing any kind of leakage when not in use. The rechargeableshisha pen may need recharging depending on its model; some can be used for 5 to 6 refills while there are other that can be used much more.

·         Are shisha pens safe?
Generally, shisha pens are much safer when compared to traditional shishas and cigarettes, but as they are labeled in the category of tobacco products, one needs to be above 18 years of age to use them. Pregnant women, people with allergies, lung or heart problems should also avoid smoking a shisha pen.
