Hookah Tongs – Essential for Safety and Convenience

A hookah tongis one of the most important accessories in your shisha set. Without good tongs, you risk burns when handling glowing coals. At ShishaSmaak, we have a wide collection of hookah tongs, in various sizes, brands, and colors, so you can find exactly the right tongs for your style and safety needs.

Why do you need good tongs?

  • Safety– move glowing coals without burning your hands. Official hookah manuals always recommend using tongs to move coals.
  • Heat control– with tongs, you can precisely place coals on the tobacco bowl, move them, or remove them if they get too hot.
  • Durability– high-quality metal tongs (such as stainless steel) last a long time and do not deform easily.
  • Hygiene– you only touch coals with the tongs, not with your hands, which reduces grease residue and makes it easier to clean other parts such as the bowl and coal burner.

With us, you'll find tongs from top brands and our own house brands. For example:

  • Amy Deluxe tongs– long reach, sturdy steel, sleek design.

Whether you're looking for “Amy Deluxe coal tongs,” “DUM shisha tongs,” or sturdy tongs to safely move your coals to the tobacco bowl – at ShishaSmaakwe have them.

Types and sizes

The tongs vary in shape and ease of use:

  • Short size– for use close to the coal burner or coal basket, handy for precision work.
  • Long size– provides more distance from the heat source, good for safety and comfort.
  • With grip / ridges– prevents slipping on damp or slippery coal surfaces.
  • Coated or colored tongs– for style, to match your shisha set and accessories.

Usage & tips

With the right tongs, you use your shisha more safely and efficiently:

  1. Light your coals with a coal lighteror gas burners.
  2. Let coals glow completely before picking them up – avoid black spots and unpleasant odors.
  3. Use the tongs to remove coals from the burner or basket, and carefully place them on the tobacco bowl.
  4. For displacement/transport: use the tongs to place coals in a closed container to reduce spills or fire hazards.

Safety & material

Pay attention to the following when choosing tongs:

  • Type of metal– stainless steel is recommended; it does not deform and remains sturdy.
  • Length– longer tongs provide more distance from the heat source, which is safer for hands.
  • Heat resistance– good materials do not bend or burn at high temperatures.
  • Secure grip– ridges or an anti-slip coating prevent slipping.

Frequently asked questions

1. Why not just use kitchen tongs?

Kitchen tongs are often not heat-resistant enough or too short. Shisha coals can get very hot (~450°C or more), making special shisha tongs safer.

2. How often should I clean the tongs?

After each session, rinse with warm water; remove coal residue; dry well to prevent rust or deformation.

3. Is an Amy Deluxe tong better than a house brand?

That depends on the material and finish. Brands like Amy Deluxe often offer extra length, better grip, and durability. A good house brand can be very functional if it is made of sturdy metal.

4. How long do coal tongs last?

With proper use and maintenance, many years – especially a robust metal tong that you don't burn or bend.

Combine with accessories

Coal tongs are just one part of your complete shisha experience. Combine the tongs with coal burners, coal holders, water accessories, and safe storage. Especially with natural coals or larger sessions, good tongs plus a coal holder are a must.
