All About Electronic Shisha
As the name suggests E-Shisha is the electronic form of Shisha and closely resembles an electronic cigarette, although they aren’t the same thing. They were designed to be an electronic version of smoking Shisha, which is also known as Hookah. The traditional smoking of Shisha is in the form of a pipe but Electronic Shisha (E-Shisha) Pens are more closely related to the shape of a cigarette or small tube and is becoming a very trendy smoking alternative, with far less dangerous chemicals or side effects.
What is Shisha (Hookah)?
Shisha can be used to describe flavoured tobacco that is commonly smoked using a vaporizer and pipe in traditional countries like India. The tobacco goes through a bowl of water that is believed to purify the tobacco and since this water bubbles it was given the nickname Hookah. The smoking of Shisha used to be confined to Middle Eastern countries but now it is popular all over the world and many prefer to smoke Shisha over traditional cigarettes.
What is Electronic Shisha?
The main difference between Shisha and E-Shisha is that the electronic version is designed to be portable and much easier to use as a consequence. They can be referred to as an E-Shisha Pen or E-Shisha Stick and as their names show they resembles pens or small tubes, which makes them very easy to carry around anywhere, just like a real cigarette. Electronic Shisha Sticks can come in a variety of flavours and although they don’t contain any tobacco like normal Shisha, they do have a chemical known as propylene glycol and liquid nicotine. The propylene is used to simulate real smoke and is found in many food products with no health risk at all.
What are E-Shisha Pens and E-Shisha Sticks?
They are basically the same thing but with a slightly different name, which can often depend on where they are bought. They both have similar shapes and work the same way so there isn’t any notable difference between E-Shisha Pens and E-Shisha Sticks. They use an atomizer that heats up cartridges and this gives the user a smoke flavour and water vapour, which imitates real smoke. They can be refillable or disposable and the only difference between those is that one just needs new cartridges to be reused, whereas disposable is thrown away when finished. The refillable is the preferred option for regular E-Shisha users, but the disposable is a great place for new users to try an Electronic Shisha Pen or Stick without obligation. An Electronic Shisha Stick will typically be more sophisticated than a regular e cigarette and the smoke (vapour) released tends to be more realistic, sometimes with the aid of extra chemicals or a charcoal substance, although these can vary depending on brand. Some argue that Electronic Shisha Pens last longer than e cigs and the smoke is thicker, which is preferred by many who are looking for an alternative to real tobacco smoke.
The History of Shisha (Hookah)
It’s believed that Shisha (Hookah) originated in Pakistan and the devices were much more primitive than they are today. The Shisha devices soon grew in popularity and spread further west and by the 19th century when tobacco had become more mainstream the Shisha devices were growing in complexity, with increasingly creative designs and methods of inhalation. It soon became more common to use with tobacco and as a result the Shisha Pen Flavours we see today are a reflection of how popular the global Shisha market is.
