• What is the difference between a coupon and a voucher?

• A coupon grants you a discount on your order. A voucher, on the other hand, is considered a monetary substitute, which is determined by the amount stated on the voucher.
• How many vouchers can I redeem for one order?
• Only one voucher can be redeemed per order.
• How long is my gift certificate valid?
• The gift voucher is valid for 3 years and can be redeemed in our shisha shop.
• Why haven't I received my voucher yet?
• The voucher will be sent to you automatically by email. Please remember to check your spam folder. However, if you have ordered other items, you will receive the email including the voucher code only after the items have been shipped.
• Can vouchers be combined with coupons?
• Vouchers and coupons are independent of each other and can both be redeemed in one order. In this case, the voucher acts as a means of payment and the coupon as a discount.
• Can I choose a free item when I buy a gift certificate?
• If you only order a gift voucher and have selected a free gift, we unfortunately have to remove the free gift from the order. Since digital shipping is triggered when you purchase only the gift certificate, but if you have an additional item in your shopping cart it is possible to receive a free gift. In this case, both postal and digital shipping will be triggered. You can email us the order number where you redeemed the voucher code and we will gladly add the gift to the package.
• Can I redeem my voucher more than once if there is a balance left?
• If there is a remaining amount, it can be redeemed with the next order. Regardless of whether you have a customer account or not!
• Why is the voucher not deducted from the invoice amount?

• If your invoice amount is higher than the value of the voucher, our payment provider Mollie sometimes has problems. In this case, please contact us so that we can send you the adjusted invoice: info@aladin-shishashop.de
• A coupon does not work, what should I do?
• Please note that some items are excluded from coupons. These include already discounted items, vapes, vouchers and tobacco products. Furthermore, it is possible that you have not yet reached the minimum order value for the coupon. If either of these points do not apply, please contact us by email: info@aladin-shishashop.de

• Which hookah should you buy?
• You should first think about how much money you want to spend on a hookah and what is most important to you by a hookah. Often, the budget for the first purchase is around 50-100€. In this case, people often focus on a high-quality product with a good price-performance ratio. This is a good approach, as it allows you to get a taste of the subject for the time being. If you decide to buy later, you can always upgrade.
• At what age is it allowed to smoke hookah?
• You must be at least 18 years old to smoke hookah. If you have reached this age but your friends have not, please smoke without them - as unpleasant as it may be. The Youth Protection Act prohibits young people under the age of 18 from consuming tobacco products or other nicotine-containing items, including nicotine-free hookah varieties. Traders are also not allowed to consent to the sale of these products to minors, even online.
• Why should you not smoke hookah during pregnancy?
• With every puff of hookah, you ingest harmful substances and nicotine that are potentially carcinogenic and have an impact on your body and that of your unborn child. In worse cases, ingesting shisha tobacco can even lead to the baby's development being affected and the pregnancy being at risk. Nicotine can be addictive to both you and your unborn baby, tar and benzene both pose health risks, and carbon monoxide is absorbed even more when smoking a hookah than with cigarettes.  It is a risk to smoke even occasionally, as the possible harmful effects cannot be reversed. You and your baby's well-being should always be the top priority. Therefore, it is important to think carefully about whether it is worth taking the risks of hookah smoking during pregnancy. Passive smoking can cause just as much harm to your baby as active smoking. That's why when your friends get together to smoke, you should either not participate or ask them to meet in a place far enough away to avoid exposure to smoke. If you think that smoking hookah after giving birth will not affect your baby, we are sorry to disappoint you. Hookah smoking and breastfeeding are not compatible, just like smoking during pregnancy. The toxic fumes you ingest through hookah can also be passed on to your child through your breast milk. Therefore, it is advisable to refrain from smoking hookah at least until the child is no longer breastfed to ensure optimal protection.
• What is hookah?
• The word hookah has its origins in Persian and basically means the same as the word glass/glass bottle. It has become established in German as a synonym for "water pipe". Interestingly, it is pronounced and used in a similar way in Turkey and Persian. Therefore, it can be said that the hookah bottle paved the way for the name of the popular water pipe.
• How much water should be in the hookah bowl?

• It is important to know that it is not possible to give an exact filling volume in litres, as each bowl has a different filling volume and each dip tube a different length. In view of this, it is not possible to give a general litre volume figure. Follow this simple rule: fill the water in the bowl so that the lower end of the smoke column is submerged by a maximum of two centimetres. Here you can fiddle around and vary the water level to find out how much resistance you feel when you pull on your hookah hose. If you have to pull hard, you will have to take some water out of the bowl. On the other hand, if you feel that you are only pulling air, you need to add water.
• How often does the water in your hookah need to be changed?
• It is imperative to change the hookah water regularly to maintain a good taste and a reasonable level of hygiene. Old water not only leads to deposits that are difficult to remove, but also causes an unpleasant smell and appearance. We recommend that you change your water more frequently to get the best possible taste experience and smoking pleasure. It is recommended that you change the water after each session. If you use your hookah regularly, you should change the water at least every 2-3 days. If you use your hookah less frequently, you should empty the water after the last session and refill it before the next use.

• What is Aladin Shisha?

• Aladin Shisha has existed since 1986 and is one of the pioneers of the shisha cult in Europe. Besides distribution, the company also acted as a wholesaler and manufacturer of hookahs, tobacco, charcoal and accessories. Before the hookah trend started, Aladin was already active. The success of the hookah industry, including hookah shops and bars, allowed us to expand as well.

• What is the draught of a hookah?
• The force required to pull on a hookah is called the draw. The draft depends on the head setup and the hookah. Some hookahs have a light draft and feel like you are breathing when you pull. An example is the Aeon Edition 4 Lounge. On the other hand, there are traditional hookahs (Tradis) that have a much heavier draught. Since the smoking behaviour and the draught are inseparable, they must always be considered together.
• What is a closed chamber system in a hookah?
• The Closed Chamber System is a closed chamber system that is permanently installed in the base of the hookah. Due to the arrangement of the holes, different air flows are generated than with a conventional blow-out system. The Closed Chamber System makes it easier for you to blow out the old smoke in the hookah bowl. You can tell if your hookah has a Closed Chamber System by looking at the base. If the holes in the hookah base are straight,you have a hookah with closed chamber system. In normal chamber systems without a closed chamber, the holes are positioned at an angle. In this case, the smoke is not blown straight downwards as in the closed chamber system, but against the walls of the base. As a result, it takes a lot of effort to blow out the scratchy smoke in hookahs without a closed chamber. Most of the time, however, the breathing force is not sufficient to blow out all the smoke from the bowl.
• What is a hookah blow off system?

• The use of the blow-off system on hookahs is becoming more and more popular. This blow-off system is designed to remove the old smoke from the bowl by blowing into the hose. Depending on the construction of the hookah, the blow-off is located in different places. Due to the increasing popularity of blow-offs on hookahs, the range of variations is also larger. Not only do they make the hookah look pretty, but they also make playing with the smoke a lot of fun.
• Is an aluminium hookah good?
• Aluminium is a cheaper option over stainless steel, making the hookah more affordable. However, it is more prone to oxidation and rusting and does not offer the same aesthetic quality and feel as stainless steel. However, most aluminium hookahs are anodised, which protects the material and improves durability - but it is still not as durable as stainless steel! Ultimately, personal taste as well as budget is decisive.
• What is Aeon Shisha?

• Aeon Shisha is an enthusiastic company that focuses on providing smokers with a unique experience. This is why the Aeon Shisha was developed - a hookah that stands out from the rest with a unique design and features. Thanks to the passion for hookah smoking and the close cooperation with customers, products were developed that convince through exclusivity and innovation. Aeon Shisha offers its customers many possibilities for individualisation under the motto "Made in Germany" and "Made for You". After a strenuous development and testing phase, the products are manufactured in modern factories in Hesse and Baden-Württemberg under the strictest quality controls and highest precision.
• What is Moze Shisha?
• The Moze brand has become a cult, offering unique designs and functionality at an affordable price. The most popular and successful model, the Moze Breeze Two, is one of the top hookahs of our time.  The German manufacturer Moze inspires us with its hookahs, which combine an extraordinary look with first-class functionality. Different materials, including resin, carbon, epoxy resin and special plastics, combine to make each hookah a unique masterpiece. Unique outlet systems and other special features make them a luxurious achievement.
• At what age is it allowed to visit a hookah bar?
• You are not yet an adult and want to go to a hookah bar with your friends? Unfortunately, this is not allowed, because the law protects children and young people from passive smoking. From the age of 18 it is allowed to go to a hookah bar. But there is another possibility so that you can still be there: You can take a hookah with you to the park, the beach, the garden or the balcony. This way, those who are of age can smoke and you can still be there.

• What is Dark Blend hookah tobacco?
• Darkblend is a special tobacco blend of stronger tobaccos that forms the base tobacco. It usually also contains proportions of other tobaccos such as Virginia, Burley and Dark Air Cured or Oriental tobacco. The "blend" in Darkblend stands for a mixture of different base tobaccos. Dark" means dark, because the tobacco is not washed out and is therefore darker and has a higher nicotine content. As Dark Blend tobacco contains more nicotine than ordinary Virginia tobacco (which is used in the common tobaccos), it is basically not intended for beginners. Nevertheless, it is worthwhile for experienced shisha smokers who want to try something new to take the step to Dark Blend tobacco.
• What does the cancellation of the 25g regulation for hookah tobacco mean?

• The abolition of the 25g regulation means that from 1 July 2024, the sale of hookah tobacco in larger packs, such as 200g, will once again be permitted. This change is made possible by the amendment to the Tobacco Tax Ordinance, which previously restricted sales to smaller units. This represents a significant change for hookah smokers as it allows more flexibility and choice when purchasing their favourite tobacco.
  The return to 200g hookah tobacco packs offers numerous benefits:

  • Cost efficiency: larger packs are more cost effective compared to smaller units as they are cheaper to produce and logistics. This results in a lower cost per gram of tobacco, saving hookah smokers money in the long run.
  • Convenience: With 200g packs, you need to replenish your supply less frequently, which is particularly convenient for regular users. This saves time and reduces the hassle of having to repeat online or in-store purchases so often.
  • Less packaging waste: Using larger packs helps to reduce packaging material. This is not only cost-effective, but also better for the environment as less plastic and paper is used.
  • Greater variety and flexibility: The ability to buy larger quantities allows you to stock a wider range of flavours. For those who like to try different flavours, the option of smaller 25g packs remains, so you can test new flavours before deciding on a larger pack.

  Overall, the removal of the 25g regulation and the return to 200g packs allows hookah smokers to enjoy their passion for quality tobacco in a more flexible and affordable way. This is a welcome change in the hookah community that will benefit both consumers and retailers.
• How much will 200g of hookah tobacco cost from 01.07.2024?
• From 1 July 2024, when the sales restrictions on larger hookah tobacco tins are lifted, hookah lovers will once again be able to purchase 200g tins of their favourite tobacco. The prices for these larger tins will mainly depend on the tobacco variety and brand, but in general the cost is expected to be between €20 and €30 per tin. For Virginia tobaccos, which are known for their mild and aromatic quality, the price will be around 25 to 30 euros per 200g tin. Darker, more intense varieties such as Dark Blend could be somewhat more expensive and reach prices of around 30 euros per tin.
  This price range reflects not only the cost of producing and distributing the tobacco, but also the changes in tobacco tax, which has increased since 2022. Despite the higher price, the larger tins offer better value for money compared to the smaller 25g packs, as they generally offer a more favourable price per gram. This represents a significant saving for regular hookah users as they will need to buy tobacco less frequently, while also reducing packaging waste.
  Considering these factors, hookah users can expect to see a noticeable reduction in running costs from July 2024 if they choose to purchase 200g tins. This change is therefore very much welcomed, not only for the convenience but also for the cost savings it will bring.
• When will hookah tobacco 200g be available again?

• From 1 July 2024, 200g packs of hookah tobacco will return to the market. This change follows an amendment to the law that allows hookah tobacco to be sold in larger quantities again. The decision to make this change came after extensive discussion, taking into account the needs of the hookah community and environmental considerations. By returning to the 200g tins, hookah smokers will be able to purchase their favourite tobacco varieties more cheaply and with less packaging material, benefiting both consumers and the environment. For those who want to try different flavours, the smaller 25g packs will remain on offer. This offers flexibility and variety for all hookah enthusiasts.
• What do I have to consider when mixing dry base tobacco?
• When mixing dry base tobacco at home, you should inform yourself about laws and regulations, especially regarding the use and taxation of glycerine. In Germany, the production of hookah tobacco outside of an authorised tax warehouse is illegal and the tobacco you produce yourself must be taxed. The use of glycerine that has not been specifically taxed can also have legal consequences. It is important to strictly adhere to the legal regulations.
• How do you use dry base hookah tobacco?

• To create your ideal smoking experience with dry base tobacco, start by choosing a hookah pipe tobacco variety that suits your flavour preferences. Hookah pipe tobacco can be recognised by the fact that it is sold in larger quantities than 25g and comes in a 200g tin. You then mix the tobacco with glycerine to increase the moisture. Here is the procedure:

  • Prepare the tobacco: Open the tobacco tin from your dry base hookah tobacco
  • Add glycerine: Add glycerine with a purity of at least 95%. The ratio varies depending on the brand and personal preference, but as a rule the total weight after adding the glycerine should be 200g.
  • Mixing: Mix the tobacco thoroughly with the glycerine. Make sure the tobacco is evenly moistened.
  • Resting time: Allow the mixture to rest for between 6 and 48 hours to allow the flavours to fully develop. A minimum of 15 minutes resting time is necessary if you are in a hurry.
• What is dry base tobacco and what role does it play in hookah smoking?
• Dry base tobacco, also known as pipe tobacco, is a special form of raw tobacco that is characterised by its dryness. This tobacco is not moist like traditional hookah tobacco, but comes dry and flavoured. It provides a base on which smokers can create their own hookah tobacco by adding glycerine. This flexibility makes dry base tobacco particularly popular for customised smoking experiences.
• Is pipe tobacco hookah tobacco?
• Although pipe tobacco and hookah tobacco share the basis of their existence - tobacco - they differ significantly in their preparation and use. Traditionally, hookah tobacco is moist, enriched with molasses or glycerine and flavourings to provide an intensely flavoured smoking experience.
  This contrasts with pipe tobacco, which is also known as dry base or 2-component tobacco. It is presented as dry, flavoured raw tobacco, which is offered in generous 200g tins. The speciality of dry base pipe tobacco lies in its versatility and cost-effectiveness. It offers an intense flavour and the possibility of customising its intensity and moisture content by adding moisturisers such as glycerine. It can therefore be used as a cost-effective alternative to conventional hookah tobacco without compromising on quality and flavour.
  To summarise, it can be said that pipe tobacco could certainly be used as hookah tobacco if it were prepared accordingly. It is a flexible and cost-effective alternative that fulfils the individual preferences of smokers.
• How much nicotine does hookah tobacco have?
• The nicotine content of hookah tobacco varies and basically depends on the type of base tobacco. Two of the most common hookah tobacco flavours are Virginia and Darkblend tobacco. Virginia tobacco becomes lighter due to several washing processes and the nicotine content in the tobacco leaves is reduced. This can even be less than 0.05%, so that a 200g tin, for example, would only contain 100 mg of nicotine. If 20 grams of tobacco are processed in a shisha head, the nicotine content in it is 10mg. However, not all of the nicotine content is absorbed by the body.  Darkblend hookah tobacco is a special mixture of selected, strong tobaccos that serve as a base. It usually contains proportions of Virginia, Burley, Dark Air Cured and Oriental tobacco. In this case, 'blend' means that the different base tobaccos are mixed. 'Dark' indicates the colour of the tobacco, because it is not washed out, which makes it dark and gives it a higher nicotine content. The nicotine content varies depending on the base tobaccos used, but is usually around 3-4%. As Dark Blend tobacco has a higher nicotine content than Virginia tobacco normally used in tobaccos, it is not suitable for beginners.
• Why is hookah tobacco so expensive?
• As you probably know, the tobacco tax was increased for the first time after seven years in January 2022. Through this, there is currently an additional fee of 15€ for each kilo of hookah tobacco, which will increase to 19€ in 2023. The Tobacco Tax Modernization Act is currently scheduled to last until 2026, with the additional levy being €26. Furthermore, the 25 gram regulation was put into effect on 01/07/2022. The price of 25g of Virginia tobacco is between 2,90€ and 4,90€ and 25g of Darkblend tobacco is between 3,90€ and 5,90€. This adjustment of the price is due to various reasons, including the increase in taxes and the increased effort of tobacco manufacturers. As a result, there is a short supply of hookah tobacco in the old packaging sizes. Therefore, we recommend you to hoard your favorite hookah tobacco!
• Why is hookah tobacco only available in 25 gram packs?

• Hookah tobacco taxed until 30.06.2022 in the generally accepted packaging units (200g, 1kg) and which is already in circulation may be sold until 30.06.2023. In turn, tobacco produced from 01.07.2022 may be produced and put on the market only in packaging quantities not exceeding 25 grams.

  Prices for 25g of Virginia tobacco range from €2.90 to €4.90, while Darkblend tobacco costs between €3.90 and €5.90. This increase, in addition to the increase in taxes, is due to the increased workload of tobacco manufacturers. This causes tobacco in older packaging sizes to become scarce. Therefore, we strongly advise you to stock up on your favorite varieties!
• What is Loyal hookah tobacco?
• After a long time of developing and improving, the excellent tobacco brand Loyal Tobacco is now available on the German market since March 2022. Aladin would like to thank all loyal customers with the introduction of this hookah tobacco by offering a product that meets the highest quality standards. Loyal Tobacco not only enchants with its finely tuned flavours and sweet blends, but also stands out with its excellent smoking characteristics. This German-made hookah tobacco thus offers everything for a perfect taste experience - and at an unbeatable price! Loyal Tobacco is known for its first-class Virginia tobacco quality. At the beginning of 2022, the brand was able to assert itself on the market with eight flavours and successfully establish KIR #8 and KIMATRA #4 as bestsellers. Of course, the classic Grape Mint and Double Apple can also be found in the manufacturer's range. To meet the demands of hookah smokers, Loyal Tobacco launched three new flavours in mid-2022: LEMMI #9, MAVAMA #10 and GREEN-K #11.
• What does the hookah tobacco African Queen taste like?
• The African Queen tobacco from O's represents one of the most sought-after hookah tobaccos on the market. As you would expect, it is ready to use straight away, without the need to add extra molasses, as is usual with O's. African Queen is a real treat! This blend of 16 different fruits has a delicious taste of wild berries and grapes, with ideal moisture and smoke development, guaranteeing an unforgettable smoking experience. If you are a lover of fruity intense flavours, you will love this flavour! More specific information about the different fruits in the blend is not known, but the thought experiment of many different flavours in one tobacco gets the taste buds excited! African Queen is so popular among hookah smokers because of its irresistible fruitiness that never fails to captivate!
• What is hookah tobacco?
• Hookah tobacco consists of small cut tobacco and molasses, which contain the flavours. These components are mixed and the tobacco absorbs the moisture, which serves as a carrier base. Since the focus is not on burning the tobacco but on vaporising the moisturising agent such as glycerine and molasses, a relatively high moisture content of 30-40% must be present. There are other types of tobacco where the unflavoured tobacco comes into contact with charcoal, but these are more common in the oriental world. Different types of tobacco such as Virginia, Burley and Oriental tobaccos vary not only in appearance but also in taste and nicotine content. Therefore, blends are often made to combine the respective properties. Glycerine and molasses provide a variety of flavours, so that it becomes possible to develop new, even stronger combinations and flavours of hookah tobacco again and again. This is a major plus point, as it constantly offers customers new smoking experiences.
• Why is 200g hookah tobacco so expensive?
• Prices for 200g tins of hookah tobacco have risen from the previous €17.90 to €22.90 to an average of €26.90 for Virginia tobacco. This increase is mainly due to the gradual increase in tobacco tax that the German government has implemented since 2022. The tobacco tax has risen from 15 euros per kilogramme in 2022 to 19 euros in 2023 and will continue to rise to 23 euros per kilogramme by 2026.
  Despite these increases, buying 200g tins of hookah tobacco remains a cost-effective option. Compared to the smaller 25g packs, which can cost up to €200 per kilogram, the larger 200g tins offer better value for money. This is because the manufacturing, packaging and logistics costs per gram are lower for larger packs, which reduces the overall cost per unit. In addition, larger packs minimise packaging waste and the associated environmental impact.
  Although the initial cost may seem higher, 200g cans offer long-term financial savings due to the lower cost per gram and reduced frequency of purchases. This makes them an economically sensible choice for regular hookah users who want to enjoy their favourite flavours without having to buy more too often.

• Why does my hookah taste like coal?
• Beginners often make the mistake of using self-igniting charcoal to light the hookah. Not only does this taste bad, but it is also unhealthy, as the ignition aids contain toxic residues. It also takes a long time until the hookah is finally ready to smoke. It is best to use natural charcoal in the beginning to ensure the best smoking experience. To get the best taste and smoke from your hookah, you need to make sure that the hookah charcoal is fully glowed. This means that the entire coal should be covered with a white layer of ash. You can then place it on the head. If you don't use the right heat management, you can end up with a charred tasting tobacco. So it is better to start from the outside until you find your personal sweet spot. There, the tobacco has an intense flavour and the smoke development is perfect.
• Which hookah charcoal is the best?

• There are many types of hookah charcoal, but the traditional rectangular cubes are natural charcoal, which are characterised by their long burning time and impressive smoke production. As it is naturally produced, it has no flavour and is also less harmful compared to quicklight charcoal. With natural charcoal, sessions can last up to 2 hours and produce more heat and burn more consistently. A fundamental point with natural charcoal is the carbon content, which is usually between 80% and 85%. It gives you an indication of the heat, the ash content and the smell when lighting. The higher the carbon content, the more heat can be generated, but also more odour. The serious disadvantage of natural charcoal is that it is difficult to ignite, which is why you should always have an electric charcoal lighter or gas cooker with you.

  The name quciklight charcoal suggests that it is easy to ignite, as there is an easily flammable substance on it that only requires an ordinary lighter to light. However, the chemical processing of the charcoal has a bad effect on the smoking experience of the hookah, as it affects the taste. In addition, the burning time and the heat emitted is significantly less than with natural charcoal. The area of use of self-igniting charcoal is limited. It is ideal for outdoor activities because you don't need a gas cooker. Or use the self-lighters to light your natural charcoal.
• How can you dispose of your hookah charcoal correctly?
• It is important to be careful with the disposal of the coal residue. You can extinguish the burnt hookah coal with water and then dispose of it in the normal household waste or in the organic waste. However, when the coal is no longer glowing, you can also use it as fertiliser for your own garden.  To make sure that the coal is completely extinguished, it is advisable to extinguish it with water. However, this process can get dirty, so use a separate, fireproof container to dispose of the remains in the organic or residual waste afterwards. Caution: Plastic containers can be damaged by the heat. It is also important to note that hot steam can be produced when extinguishing. For this reason, gloves should always be worn.

• What is a Phunnel Bowl?
• The hallmark of the single-hole bowl, also known as a phunnel, is a single, large hole in the centre of the head, which helps to ensure that the draught is very good and the molasses of the tobacco does not run through the smoke column into the bowl. This phunnel bowl is best suited for use with tinfoil or smokeboxes, but not for use with a chimney top.  It is more complicated to build a phunnel than a multi-hole head, but in return, hookah connoisseurs can look forward to a distinctive taste experience and smoking pleasure.
• What are Oblako hookah bowls?
• Oblako is a global company that specialises in the production of high-quality hookah heads. Each head is uniquely handmade and represents the breathtaking smoking experience and quality that experienced smokers appreciate. Thanks to the simple construction of the head, these heads are also perfect for beginners, as they always deliver great results. Oblako offers a diverse selection of design concepts that can be divided into three categories: Unglazed, Glazed and Mono. The Unglazed tobacco heads form the base line and are untreated. This allows the tobacco to absorb flavour more quickly, but there is also the possibility that the head will "bleed" more easily. Oblako Glazed tobacco heads have a glaze on the top of the head which prevents the molasses from penetrating the head and refines the appearance. Oblako Mono heads are also glazed, but only in one colour and with a black or white glaze in the deposit.  Usually Oblako heads are used in combination with a heat management device, e.g. the Aladin hookah HMD, the AO 912 HMD or the Kaloud Lotus 1+. However, there is also the option to use them with aluminium foil.
• Which Oblako bowl is the best?
• Oblako heads are in high demand due to their superior quality and great smoking experience. One has many variations, both in terms of models, design and colour. The most popular two models are Oblako Phunnel M and Oblako Phunnel L. The difference is the capacity of the deposit.  The Oblako Phunnel M has room for 20-23 grams of tobacco, while you need 25-30 grams for the Oblako Phunnel L. The M is ideal if you smoke alone or have a smoking time of 60-90 minutes, while the L is for when you smoke with friends or aim for a longer session. A second set of coals is worthwhile at 25-30 grams consumption to extend the total duration and to use the tobacco completely. There are other models, such as the Killerbowl ,Stone and Flow.
• What is a hookah clay bowl?
• The Turkish hookah clay bowl is an attractive option especially for beginners. It is made of fired clay and is therefore durable and resilient. Its thermal conductivity allows the tobacco to be heated evenly over a long period of time. Its affordable price and compatibility with most attachments make it an affordable option. Usually, it has five holes on the bottom that allow a good airflow. In sum, the traditional clay bowl is durable and inexpensive. For novices, it is usually not necessary to deal with the disadvantages such as bleeding, but it is still beneficial to opt for a higher quality model. The Mockingbird clay bowl from Aladin is a famous example of a classic hookah clay bowl. Due to its unique chimney top, it replaces the usual aluminum foil. It is made of a special heat-resistant clay and is very convincing.
• How do I build a hookah bowl?

• The hookah bowl, which is often included in starter and complete sets, is attached to the top of the smoking column and filled with tobacco to smoke with the hookah.

  Prepare the hookah tobacco: To distribute the molasses, the tobacco should be stirred in the tin. In addition, all stems and hard parts should be sorted out. To remove excess molasses, the hookah tobacco should also be dabbed before building the head.

  Fill the tobacco into the hookah bowl: The tobacco must be filled into the hookah bowl, but not all the way to the edge, leaving a small gap. It should also not be pressed too tightly so that the air can circulate.

  Attach aluminium foil: A layer of aluminium foil must be attached to the head and several holes must be poked with a toothpick or needle to allow the smoke to circulate. A special hookah chimney attachment or smokebox can also be used to replace the aluminium foil.

  Light the charcoal: Light the coal and wait until it has glowed completely. Then place the charcoal on the aluminium foil or charcoal screen and make sure it is evenly distributed.

  Smoking the hookah: After the charcoal has been placed on the shisha head, you can start a slow and regular smoke through the mouthpiece. Be sure to rotate the charcoal regularly so that the tobacco is heated evenly and the flavour develops evenly.

• What is a hookah diffuser for?
• The hookah diffuser ensures that your hookah bubbles more quietly. Thus, it can be helpful in certain moments when you are bothered by the loud bubbling of the hookah, for example when relaxing Netflix & Chill. The diffuser is either screwed onto the hookah or is already integrated into the dip tube, especially for smaller bowls. The holes of the component reduce the size of the bubbles by slowing down the flow of the water and the formation of air bubbles, which results in the noise level being reduced. So it is entirely up to the user whether to choose to use a hookah with a diffuser.
• What is a hookah smokebox?
• A hookah smoke box is used as a head attachment and belongs to the heat regulating systems (HMD). It allows you to adjust the temperature of the hookah head. If the head gets too hot, the tobacco starts to scratch and tastes burnt. A smokebox is a valuable tool to achieve the right heat control.
• What is a Molasse Catcher?
• Molasses catchers are a great way to catch excess molasses before it can run through the smoke column into the bowl. This way, tedious cleaning work can be avoided.  These impurities can affect the flavour quality. Fortunately, molasses catchers come in a variety of colours and shapes, so they are not only useful but also attractive. When deciding what to buy, look for the cut. This describes how the molasses catcher is attached to your hookah. The most common variant is an 18/8 cut. If you get an unsuitable cut, you can solve the problem thanks to an adapter.
• How often should the hookah hose be changed?
• To keep a hookah hose clean, the simplest method is to rinse it regularly with clear water. By using this method daily, you can ensure that the hose is always perfectly clean.  It goes without saying that the hookah hose should be cleaned regularly. Occasionally, however, replacement is also necessary, as not all deposits can always be completely removed. This ultimately affects the taste and is also a factor in terms of hygiene. The more often you use your hookah, the more often you should also replace the hose. If you only smoke a little hookah, it is sufficient to replace the hose once a year. If you smoke more often, it is recommended to change it every six months. The easier the hose is to clean, the less you need to replace it.
• How does a chimney top work?
• In Germany, the chimney top is currently the most popular head version. The name comes from the long tube shape and the associated physical principle, the so-called chimney effect, caused by the vertically rising warm air, known as natural convection. The self-controlling chimney system simplifies the entire smoking process and ensures a constant temperature in the head. This prevents the tobacco from burning due to overheating and heat accumulation, as the hot air can escape. Thanks to the grid, it is possible to control the heat by pushing the charcoal inwards or outwards. If it is placed in the middle, the head receives more heat. Too high or uncomfortable temperature can be lowered by moving the charcoal to the outside. The mesh size of the grid prevents too much ash from getting through and burning the tobacco faster, heating it more gently instead of burning it directly. To get the best heat production, you have to experiment with the number of holes, the height of the tobacco and the position of the ember when using aluminium foil. However, this is automatically regulated by a chimney.

• Why are disposable vapes so popular?
• With a disposable vape, you get a great vaping experience that you can enjoy anywhere, anytime. Just slip it into your pocket or jacket and you're ready to add some colour to your everyday life.

• Why are liquids so expensive?
• With the introduction of the liquid tax, the prices for liquids have risen significantly. This tax was introduced by the Tobacco Tax Modernisation Act and has been in force since 1 July 2022. It affects all substances that are vaporised in e-cigarettes, including ready-made liquids, flavours, nicotine shots and bases as well as the base materials propylene glycol and glycerine.
  The main reason for the increased prices is the liquid tax itself, which amounts to 20 cents per millilitre. However, this amount is not passed on directly to customers. Manufacturers also have to bear higher procurement costs and additional logistical expenses, which pushes prices up further. In addition, VAT is also levied on the tax portion, which increases the final price even further.
  In future, the liquid tax will be gradually increased further. From 1 January 2025, it will rise to 26 cents per millilitre and from 1 January 2026 to 32 cents per millilitre. VAT will also continue to be levied on these increased tax amounts, which means that prices for vapers will continue to rise.
  These extensive changes due to the liquid tax have a significant impact on both manufacturers and consumers. While manufacturers are struggling with higher costs and logistical efforts, consumers are faced with significantly higher prices and limited availability.
  Despite the general price increases, you will find a selection of affordable liquids in the Aladin Shisha Shop. Take a look and discover high-quality products at fair prices. Benefit from attractive offers and save money when buying your favourite liquids.

• What is a nicotine-free vape?

• A nicotine-free vape, also known as a nicotine-free e-cigarette, is an electronic device specifically designed to vaporise flavoured e-liquids without nicotine. These nicotine-free e-cigarettes are similar in design to traditional vapes, but do not contain nicotine-containing liquids. They offer an alternative for users who want to enjoy vaping without ingesting nicotine.
  The function of nicotine-free vapes is simple: a small battery in the device heats up a vaporiser unit, which converts the e-liquid into vapour. This vapour is then inhaled, similar to a conventional cigarette, but without the combustion of tobacco and the associated harmful by-products.

  Some well-known brands that offer nicotine-free vapes include:

  Elf Bar: Known for their wide range of disposable vapes and the ELFA pod system, Elf Bar also offers nicotine-free options. These are popular for their ease of use and variety of flavours.

  187 Strassenbande: Originally a brand associated with the German rap scene, 187 Strassenbande has also made a name for itself in the vaping industry. They offer special e-hookahs, which are also available in nicotine-free variants, and are particularly known for their intense flavours.

  Nameless: This brand offers a range of vapes that have been specially developed for users who want to vape nicotine-free. Nameless attaches great importance to high-quality ingredients and creative flavours.

  Nicotine-free vapes are an excellent option for people looking for the vape experience without wanting to consume nicotine. They are also useful for those who want to wean themselves off nicotine or simply enjoy the different flavours that the vaping world has to offer.
• Can I quit smoking with a nicotine-free vape?

• A nicotine-free vape can serve as a tool to quit smoking traditional cigarettes, however, it is primarily intended for those who want to distance themselves from the physical and psychological aspect of smoking without relying on nicotine. Vapes mimic the hand-to-mouth action of smoking and can therefore help to kick the habit of smoking without the health risks associated with nicotine.

  • Psychological aspect: Many smokers are not only physically addicted to smoking, but also psychologically. Vaping can mimic the psychological habit of inhaling and exhaling smoke, which can be helpful in easing the transition away from cigarettes.
  • Habit change: Switching to a nicotine-free vape can help smokers change their daily routines by using a less harmful alternative. This can be particularly useful to avoid constantly reaching for a cigarette at habitual smoking moments such as after a meal or during a break.
  • Reduction of withdrawal symptoms: Although a nicotine-free vape does not contain nicotine and therefore does not alleviate physical nicotine withdrawal symptoms, it can help alleviate some of the habitual withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting, such as hand restlessness or the desire to bring something to your lips.
  • Long-term smoking cessation: It's important to emphasise that nicotine-free vapes can act as a step towards complete smoking cessation, but they alone are often not enough to quit smoking completely, especially for those who are heavily dependent on nicotine. In such cases, a gradual reduction in nicotine consumption through the use of lower-dose nicotine-containing vapes or pod systems with proprietary liquids before switching to nicotine-free options may be more effective.

  Overall, a nicotine-free vape can be a useful tool for quitting smoking, especially when used in combination with other support measures and a clear cessation strategy.
• What are the benefits of a vape without nicotine?
• Vaping without nicotine brings a number of benefits that are particularly interesting for people who want to quit smoking or enjoy the vaping experience without the dependence on nicotine. Vaping without nicotine means avoiding the health risks associated with nicotine, such as increased blood pressure and potential heart problems. Nicotine-free vapes also offer a way to simulate the physical ritual of smoking without the harmful effects of nicotine. This helps many smokers replace the daily reach for a cigarette while maintaining the actions they are used to.
  In addition, nicotine-free liquids are available in a wide range of flavours, making vaping an enjoyable experience that offers the sensory pleasures of smoking without the harmful ingredients. A nicotine-free vape can also be useful as an aid to quitting smoking. Whilst it does not satisfy nicotine cravings, it can help to break the habit of smoking by mimicking the manual aspects of smoking. This can be an important first step on the road to smoking cessation.
  Additionally, vaping offers an alternative to smoking in social contexts, especially where smoking is undesirable or prohibited. It allows users to participate in social activities without feeling isolated. With a nicotine-free vape, users also have full control over their ingredients and can ensure that only the desired substances are inhaled. This is not always the case with nicotine-containing products. Using a nicotine-free vape can therefore not only contribute to one's own health, but also replace the smoking habit with a less harmful ritual, while maintaining the social and enjoyable experience of "smoking".
• Is liquid better than cigarettes?
• Many people consider whether vaping e-cigarettes is a better alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes. The truth is complex and depends on various factors.
  E-cigarettes have gained popularity in recent years. The vapour from these devices generally contains fewer carcinogens and harmful substances than the smoke from conventional cigarettes. However, e-liquids are not harmless either.
  Studies suggest that e-cigarettes are less harmful to health than tobacco cigarettes. Vapers are less likely to suffer from respiratory diseases such as COPD or chronic bronchitis than smokers. Nevertheless, these diseases occur more frequently in vapers than in non-smokers. Long-term studies are still lacking, so the long-term effects of vaping are not fully known.
  Some people use e-cigarettes to quit smoking. According to an English study, 18% of smokers who switched to e-cigarettes were able to give up conventional cigarettes after one year. By comparison, only 10% of those who used nicotine patches remained smoke-free.
  E-cigarettes can be a less harmful alternative to smoking, but they are by no means healthy.
• Is liquid cheaper than cigarettes?
• Whether vaping e-liquids is cheaper than smoking cigarettes depends on various factors. In general, the running costs of vaping are lower, especially if refillable systems are used. A bottle of e-liquid costs around €3-7 and lasts for around 50 cigarettes. This results in monthly costs of €10-15 for light smokers and €30-50 for average smokers. Chain smokers come to around €75 per month.
  Pod systems are more practical, but more expensive. If you use 1-2 pods a day, you can expect to pay around €150 a month. Despite the liquid tax, vaping remains cheaper than smoking. A packet of cigarettes costs around €8 and the monthly expenditure of a smoker can be up to €240. Even future tax increases will do little to change this, as both liquids and tobacco will be subject to higher taxes. Overall, vaping remains a cheaper alternative.
• Can Elfbar ELFA Pods be refilled?
• Yes, you can definitely refill the Elfbar ELFA Refillable Pods. These pods are specially designed to be refilled multiple times with e-liquid, giving you a sustainable and cost-saving alternative to disposable vapes.

  For refilling, it is recommended to use ELFLIQ e-liquids, which are perfectly matched to the needs of the ELFA pods. These liquids are available in a variety of flavours, so you can vary according to your mood and preference. Using the ELFLIQ e-liquids specially developed for these pods ensures that you get the best vaping experience, as they harmonise perfectly with the pods' mesh coil technology. These coils are known to heat the liquid evenly, resulting in a more intense flavour and denser vapour.
  By refilling your ELFA pods, you not only help to reduce waste and protect the environment, but also benefit from significant cost savings compared to constantly buying new disposable pods. Refilling is also simple and convenient, so you can personalise your vaping experience quickly and easily.

• How do I choose the right nicotine strength for my liquid?

• Choosing the right nicotine strength for your liquid is crucial for an optimal vaping experience and depends heavily on your previous smoking habits. Different nicotine strengths offer different intensities, which can make the transition from smoking to e-cigarettes easier.
  Liquids are available in several nicotine strengths, ranging from nicotine-free (0 mg/ml) to high concentrations (20 mg/ml). If you have smoked heavily before, a liquid with a higher nicotine content could be useful to satisfy the craving for nicotine. Beginners and occasional smokers, on the other hand, often choose liquids with a low nicotine content to enjoy the vaping experience without needing a high nicotine dose.

  • 0 mg/ml: For vapers who want to do without nicotine. This option is ideal for those who want to enjoy the flavour and vaping experience without consuming nicotine. It is particularly suitable for former smokers who have already overcome nicotine withdrawal but want to continue vaping.
  • 3 mg/ml: Very low nicotine content, ideal for occasional vapers or for those who are just starting to use e-cigarettes and want to reduce their nicotine consumption. This strength offers a light nicotine experience without a strong scratchy throat.
  • 6 mg/ml: Low nicotine content, suitable for light smokers who are switching to e-cigarettes. This strength delivers a moderate amount of nicotine equivalent to a light smoker who consumes about 5-10 cigarettes per day.
  • 12 mg/ml: Medium nicotine content, for average smokers who smoke about half a packet of cigarettes a day. This strength offers a good balance of nicotine delivery and flavour, which is ideal for many former smokers.
  • 18 mg/ml: High nicotine content, for heavy smokers who consume more than one packet of cigarettes per day. This strength is particularly suitable for those who are looking for an intense nicotine kick and want to make the transition from smoking to e-cigarettes as smooth as possible.
  • 20 mg/ml: Very high nicotine content, for very heavy smokers who need a particularly high nicotine intake. This strength is often found in nicotine salt liquids, which offer a gentle throat hit despite the high nicotine content. They are ideal for users of pod systems and MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) devices who are looking for quick and effective nicotine satisfaction.

  The choice of the right nicotine strength is individual and depends on various factors, such as the number of cigarettes smoked daily and the strength of previously consumed tobacco products. Too high a nicotine content can lead to an unpleasant scratchy throat, while too low a nicotine content does not sufficiently satisfy the craving for nicotine. It is therefore advisable to start with a medium strength and then adjust the nicotine dose as required.
  If you are unsure, it is always a good idea to try out different nicotine strengths to find the one that best suits your needs. In the Aladin Shisha Shop, you can discover a wide selection of liquids in different nicotine strengths to find the perfect vaping experience.
• What are liquids and what are they made of?
• Liquids, also known as e-liquids, are special liquids that are used in e-cigarettes to produce the vapour. They are the heart of every e-cigarette and are responsible for the flavour and vapour production. In the Aladin Shisha Shop, you will find a wide selection of liquids that differ in their flavours and ingredients.
  Liquids consist of several main ingredients, each of which has a specific function. Propylene glycol (PG) is a colourless, almost odourless liquid that serves as a carrier for flavours. PG provides the so-called "throat hit", the feeling in the throat when inhaling, which is similar to smoking a conventional cigarette. It is less viscous than glycerine, which means that it is thinner and transports the flavours better. Vegetable glycerine (VG) is a thick, colourless liquid obtained from vegetable oils. VG is responsible for vapour development. A higher proportion of VG in a liquid leads to denser, larger vapour clouds. VG is also sweeter than PG and can slightly influence the flavour of the liquid.
  Another important component of liquids are the flavours that give the liquid its taste. These can be produced either naturally or artificially. The variety of flavours makes it possible to offer a wide range of flavours, from fruity and sweet notes to fresh and spicy variants. In addition to PG, VG and flavours, liquid also contains water, which contributes to consistency and dilution, as well as optional nicotine. Nicotine is a natural alkaloid found in the leaves of the tobacco plant. It can be added in various concentrations to meet the needs of vapers.
  Overall, these carefully selected ingredients ensure that liquids are both flavourful and functionally effective. They offer a healthier alternative to smoking conventional cigarettes, as no harmful combustion products are produced during vaporisation. The combination of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerine, flavourings, water and optional nicotine makes liquids a versatile and individual product that can be perfectly adapted to the personal preferences and needs of every vaper.
• Is Elfliq or Maryliq better?
• The choice between Elfliq and Maryliq depends on your personal preferences and needs as a vaper. Both brands, developed by Elf Bar, offer high-quality nicotine salt liquids that are characterised by intense flavours and smooth vaping. To decide which of the two is better for you, it's worth looking at the differences and strengths of both products.
  Elfliq is known for its wide range of flavours and the excellent quality of the ingredients used. These liquids are available in 10mg and 20mg nicotine salts, which allows for a smooth throat hit and faster nicotine uptake. Elfliq liquids are ideal for vapers looking for a versatile selection of intense flavours and a consistently high-quality vaping experience. The handy 10ml bottles with fine filling tip facilitate drip-free refilling of pods or tanks and contribute to user-friendliness.
  Maryliq, another brand from Elf Bar, also offers nicotine salt liquids with a similar nicotine strength. However, Maryliq stands out due to its special focus on creative and diverse flavours. These liquids are perfect for vapers who like to experiment and are constantly looking for new flavour experiences. Maryliq's 10ml bottles are also designed to be user-friendly and allow for easy and clean refilling.
  A deciding factor when choosing between Elfliq and Maryliq could be the variety of flavours. While Elfliq offers a wide range of classic and popular flavours, Maryliq places particular emphasis on innovative and creative flavours. If you are a vaper who loves to discover new and exciting flavour profiles, Maryliq might be the better choice for you.
  Another difference lies in the brand identity. Elfliq has made a name for itself through its reliability and consistently high quality. Maryliq, on the other hand, aims to impress with innovative flavours and creative flavour combinations. Both brands rely on the use of nicotine salt, which allows for a smoother vaping experience and quick nicotine uptake.
  Ultimately, the decision between Elfliq and Maryliq depends on which aspects of the vaping experience are most important to you. Both brands offer excellent products that are at the highest level in terms of quality and flavour. It's worth trying both to find out which brand best suits your personal preferences.
  To summarise, neither Elfliq nor Maryliq is clearly better - it comes down to your individual preferences. Both brands offer intense flavours, high quality and a pleasant vaping experience.

• What is Maryliq?
• Maryliq is an innovative series of nicotine salt liquids developed by Lost Mary, a renowned brand under the leadership of Elf Bar. These liquids are specially designed for vapers looking for an intense yet smooth vaping experience. Maryliq offers a wide range of flavours and is available in different nicotine strengths to meet the individual needs of users.
  Maryliq liquids are characterised by the use of nicotine salt, which allows for smoother inhalation and faster absorption of nicotine into the bloodstream.

• What is nicotine salt liquid?
• Nicotine salt liquids have been an integral part of the vape scene for several years. They differ chemically from traditional liquids and offer various advantages. Nicotine salt liquids have a lower pH value, which makes them less alkaline. As a result, they cause less throat hit, the scratchy feeling in the throat that many vapers are familiar with. These liquids contain nicotine in bound form, similar to how it occurs naturally in tobacco. This means that the nicotine is absorbed more slowly and over a longer period of time.
  Nicotine salt liquids are particularly suitable for those switching from conventional cigarettes, as they offer a similar nicotine delivery. They are also ideal for users of pod systems, as these devices often have less power and vaporise nicotine salts at lower temperatures.
  The main difference between nicotine salt liquids and traditional liquids lies in the chemical composition and the effect on the body. While traditional liquids contain free nicotine that vaporises at higher temperatures and is absorbed quickly, nicotine salt liquid contains nicotine in a form that works more slowly but lasts longer. This can be helpful for long-time smokers as it reduces the need to vape frequently.
  Another advantage of nicotine salt liquids is the softer throat hit. This can be particularly attractive to new vapers who want to avoid the scratchy feeling when inhaling. In addition, the lower pH values of nicotine salts allow a higher nicotine concentration without the unpleasant scratchy sensation in the throat.
  All in all, nicotine salt liquids offer an interesting alternative to classic liquids, especially for those switching to vaping and users of pod systems.

• Are vapes 18+?
• Yes, the purchase and consumption of vapes in Germany is legally restricted to persons who have reached the age of 18. This age restriction applies to all types of vape products, including e-cigarettes, e-liquids, both with and without nicotine, and vape accessories. This regulation aims to protect young people and children from the potential risks of vaping, regardless of whether the products contain nicotine or not.
  Compliance with these regulations is important to limit access to vape products for young people while ensuring that adults continue to have access to an alternative to traditional smoking if they so wish.

• How does child safety work with disposable vapes?
• The Tobacco Products Act requires that e-cigarettes be designed to be "child-resistant and tamper-evident". In addition, the CLP Regulation requires that liquids containing nicotine must have a child-resistant closure. However, there is no clear definition of what is considered child-resistant and whether children are allowed to smoke an e-cigarette at all. As a result, manufacturers of disposable vapes have incorporated their own safety mechanism to protect children from nicotine-containing vapour. However, many vapers have not noticed these changes and are afraid that their device is broken.  The manufacturers of disposable vapes have developed various methods to equip their devices with a child safety device. With the HQD brand, you have to pull the vape three times in quick succession to activate or deactivate it. When the device is in use, a light on the back lights up. With 187 Strassenbande vapes, it is possible to close the air slot on the back so that you cannot pull on the vape. All the necessary information about the parental control is usually stated on the packaging, so you can vape without worry.
• What are Al Massiva Vapes?

• What are disposable vapes?
• Disposable vapes are a simple, cheaper alternative to cigarettes. Unlike battery packs and pod systems, disposable vapes are one-time use items that are disposed of after use. These vapes vaporise liquid instead of burning tobacco and can be purchased in a variety of flavours.  It's simple! A disposable vape doesn't need e-liquid, a battery or a vaporiser head - all you have to do is open the packaging, remove the foil and rubber stopper, then simply pull to operate it.  The capacity of most vapes is 2ml with a battery that is 400-600mAh strong. This means that the consumption of the e-liquid or battery is highly dependent on individual use. Regular and long draws of 187 Vapes or HQD Vapes, for example, involves about 600 puffs. Of course, strong vapers may finish earlier or weaker users may enjoy the pod longer.
• What is the 187 Strassenbande Vape?

• How many cigarettes are in an ELFA Pod?
• An ELFA pod from Elfbar offers a fascinating alternative to conventional smoking. Each pod contains 2 ml of liquid with 20 mg nicotine per ml. But how can this be converted into cigarettes? It is important to understand that the direct comparison between cigarettes and vaping is not straightforward, as the vaping experience and nicotine uptake are different. However, based on the nicotine content and the number of puffs (up to 600 per pod), an Elf Bar ELFA pod provides a rough equivalent to around 40 cigarettes.
  This estimate will of course vary depending on personal vaping behaviour and individual puffs. What makes the ELFA special is its efficiency and the ability to precisely control nicotine consumption. With an ELFA pod, you not only enjoy the flavour of your choice, but you can also meet your nicotine requirements in a clean and controlled way.
  In short, one ELFA Pod can deliver approximately the nicotine equivalent of 40 cigarettes, depending on your vaping style. This makes the Elf Bar ELFA an attractive option for anyone looking for an alternative to traditional smoking without compromising on enjoyment and quality. Visit the Aladin Shisha Shop to find out more about the ELFA and its wide range of flavours.
• How long does an ELFA Pod last?
• An ELFA pod, designed for the innovative ELFA pod system from Elfbar, is designed to provide an extensive and enjoyable vaping experience. Each pod comes with 2ml of the finest liquid specially designed for use in Elfbar ELFA devices. In terms of duration: a single pod allows up to 600 puffs. This means that the duration of use of an ELFA pod depends heavily on your vaping habits.
  For the average vaper, an Eleven Bar ELFA Pod can therefore be sufficient for several days before a change becomes necessary. This makes ELFA pods not only a practical but also a cost-effective option for vapers.
  In addition to long-lasting pleasure, the ELFA Pods offer a wide range of flavours - from fruity to sweet - so that every vaper can find their favourite flavour. The easy handling and quick change of pods ensure an uncomplicated vaping experience.
• Why are disposable vapes with more than 600 puffs illegal in Germany?
• Disposable vapes with more than 600 puffs are prohibited in Germany due to legal regulations. These regulations are based on the Tobacco Products Act (TabErzG) and the Tobacco Products Ordinance (TabErzV), which set strict limits on the capacity and ingredients of e-liquids in disposable vapes.
  Disposable e-cigarettes that offer more than 600 puffs, such as vapes with 7000 or 10000 puffs, usually contain a larger tank with a volume of up to 20 ml. This significantly exceeds the maximum e-liquid volume of 2 ml per device permitted in Germany. This larger amount of e-liquid increases the risk of nicotine overdose and other health hazards, which is why such devices are not authorised in Germany.
  The strict regulations in Germany not only include restrictions on the amount of e-liquid, but also comprehensive requirements for the labelling, packaging and ingredients of e-cigarettes.
  Another important aspect is compliance with the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). This directive limits the maximum nicotine concentration in e-liquids to 20 mg/ml (2%) and allows a maximum fill volume of 10 ml per e-liquid bottle. Devices that exceed these limits are not permitted in the EU. Disposable vapes that do not fulfil these regulations may not be sold in Germany.
  The sale and possession of disposable vapes is only permitted in Germany from the age of 18. This age limit is based on the Youth Protection Act, which has also applied to nicotine-containing products such as e-cigarettes and e-liquids since 1 April 2016.
• Why does my Elf Bar ELFA taste burnt?

• If you notice that your Elfbar ELFA tastes burnt, this can have various causes. Here we explain the reasons and how you can fix the problem so that you can enjoy your ELFA pod system to the full again.

  • Pod is empty: A common cause of a burnt flavour is that the pod is almost empty. Without enough liquid, the coil in the pod heats up the dry cotton, which leads to this unpleasant flavour. So check the liquid level of your ELFA pods regularly and replace them in good time before they are completely empty.
  • Draw frequency too high: If you draw on your ELFA too quickly in succession, the cotton in the pod does not have enough time to become saturated with liquid again. This can also lead to a burnt flavour. Give your pod some time to recover between puffs.
  • Battery performance: A low battery level can lead to the pod not being heated optimally, resulting in a burnt flavour. Make sure your ELFA battery is charged regularly to ensure consistently high performance.
  • Using non-compatible pods: Using pods that are not specifically designed for the ELFA Pod System by Elf Bar can also cause problems. To get the best flavour, you should always use the intended ELFA pods.

  To avoid burnt flavour, it is important to use and maintain your ELFA Pod System correctly. This includes regularly checking the condition of your pods, keeping the battery charged and giving the pods enough time to re-saturate with liquid after intensive use.
  With its pre-filled pods and efficient pod system, the ELFA from Elf Bar offers a simple and enjoyable vaping experience. Should you ever encounter the problem of a burnt flavour, these tips will certainly help you. Discover the wide range of ELFA products in the Aladin Shisha Shop, where you can buy ELFA pods and many other items from Elf Bar at favourable prices.
• When does the Elf Bar ELFA need to be recharged?
• The ELFA Pod System, an outstanding product from Elf Bar, is characterised by its powerful battery. This allows you to enjoy a long-lasting vaping experience before recharging is necessary. As a general rule, it's time to charge the ELFA if you notice a reduction in vapour production or the device no longer responds to your puffs. Another clear sign is the LED display on the device, which signals the current battery level. As soon as this starts to flash, it is time to charge your ELFA battery.
  Charging your ELFA is very easy and can be done quickly thanks to a USB-C cable. A full charge usually only takes around 30 minutes, so you can get your device up and running again quickly. This emphasises the efficiency and user-friendliness of the ELFA Pod System from Elf Bar.
  In short, recharge your ELFA when you notice a drop in performance or when the LED display indicates this. With the fast and efficient charging system, you can ensure that your ELFA from Elf Bar is always ready for your next vaping experience.

• When is an Elf Bar ELFA Pod empty?

• An ELFA Pod, part of the innovative pod system from Elf Bar, offers you up to 600 puffs per pod. But how do you recognise that it's time to change the pod? Here are a few clear signs:

  • Change in flavour: The first indication that your ELFA pod is running low is often a change in flavour. The intense flavour you're used to is fading or no longer tastes as fresh as before.
  • Reduced vapour production: Another sign is when you notice that the pod is producing less vapour. This means that the liquid in the pod is almost used up.

  It is important to change the pod in time to get the best possible vaping experience and to ensure that the device is working properly.
  Overall, the ease of use of ELFA pods makes them a popular choice among vapers. When you realise it's time to change your pod, you can simply replace it with a new one without having to handle any liquid. This makes the ELFA system particularly user-friendly and clean.
• Which Elf Bar ELFA Pods are the best?

• Elf Bar ELFA pods stand for high quality and an impressive variety of flavours. From fruity compositions to refreshing blends, Elf Bar offers a range that makes every vaper's heart beat faster. But which pods are the best? The answer depends on your personal preferences. However, some of the most popular ELFA pods in the Aladin Shisha Shop include:

  1. Mixed Berries: a hit for those who love the juicy flavours of different berries. This pod combines blueberries, redcurrants and more to create an irresistible mix.
  2. Watermelon: The ultimate summer flavour with the sweet and refreshing aroma of watermelon. Ideal for hot days or whenever you need a refreshment.
  3. Blueberry: For the purists among vapers who appreciate the clear and sweet flavour of blueberries.
  4. Peach Ice: A cool breeze combined with the sweet flavour of peaches. This pod offers a unique vapour experience that perfectly balances freshness and sweetness.
  5. Tropical Fruit: Immerse yourself in an exotic world with flavours of pineapple, mango and passion fruit. This pod is like a short holiday in the tropics.

  It is important to emphasise that the "best" ELFA pods are subjective and depend heavily on your individual taste preferences. We recommend trying different flavours to find your personal favourite.
• How does the Elf Bar Elfa work?

• The Elf Bar ELFA is an innovative pod system that has been specially developed for ease of use and an enjoyable vaping experience. At the heart of the system is the combination of a rechargeable base device and the matching, pre-filled Elf Bar ELFA pods.

  It's that simple:

  1. Insert the pod: Start by selecting an Elf Bar ELFA Pod and inserting it into the base unit. The pods are magnetic and snap into place easily, so you can be sure that everything is properly seated.
  2. Vaping: The Elf Bar ELFA is a draw-activated device, which means there are no buttons to press. Simply pull the pod and the device activates automatically to give you a rich vaping experience with your chosen flavour.
  3. Recharge: When the battery is running low, signalled by the LED indicator, use the supplied USB-C cable to charge the device. A full charge only takes around 30 minutes, so you can vape again quickly.
  4. Changing the pod: As soon as the pod is empty - usually after around 600 puffs - you can simply replace it with a new one. As the pods are pre-filled, there is no need to refill liquid, which makes the system particularly practical and clean.

  The ELFA from Elf Bar is characterised by its user-friendliness and the high-quality, flavourful liquid options. Whether you are an experienced vaper or just starting out, the Elf Bar ELFA offers you a convenient and enjoyable way to vape.
• What is the difference between Elfbar ELFA Prefilled Pods and Elfbar ELFA Refillable Pods?
• Elfbar ELFA offers two types of pods: Prefilled Pods and Refillable Pods. Both variants have specific properties and advantages that make them interesting for different user groups.
  Elfbar ELFA Prefilled Pods are prefilled, disposable pod cartridges. They are ready for immediate use and offer convenient handling as no refilling is necessary. These pods are ideal for vapers who prefer an uncomplicated solution and do not want to bother with refilling liquids. Another advantage is that no leaks can occur during filling. As soon as the pod is empty, it is simply replaced with a new one.
  Elfbar ELFA Refillable Pods, on the other hand, can, as the name suggests, be refilled with e-liquid. They offer the flexibility to choose from a wide range of flavours and nicotine strengths that can be filled with the ELFLIQ liquid or other compatible e-liquids. Refillable pods are a cost-effective and more environmentally friendly option as they can be used multiple times before they need to be replaced.
  To summarise, the main difference between the two pod types is refillability and the flexibility it offers, as well as the long-term cost and environmental impact. Prefilled pods offer convenience and simplicity, while refillable pods offer a customisable, more economical and environmentally friendly vaping experience.
