- Hose Port - This is where the hose will go and smoke will exit here.
- Release Valve - Used as a channel to release harsh, stagnant smoke by blowing into it.
- Downstem - An extension to the shaft, this part is partially submerged into water.

Steps to setting up a hookah:
1
Fill the bowl with your Eternal Smoke shisha. For help with packing your bowl read our guide here.
2
Place the shorter end of the hose into the hose port. This will be what transports the smoke from the hookah to you.
3
Fill the glass base with water and ice cubes. Ice provides thicker clouds and a more enjoyable smoke session. The down stem must be submerged about an inch (38mm) under water.
4
Place the shisha packed bowl on the hookah. Make sure it is securely placed on there.
5
Add foil paper to the bowl and create small holes. Use a push pin for the perfect size hole.
6
Using tongs, light a corner of the coal. Set the coal on the foil paper and let it heat for 5 minutes. Grab the hose and enjoy!
