How to Install Charcoal Trays on Most Chinese Hookahs

  A big misconception in the hookah smoking community isthat all charcoal trays are snap-on style trays likeEgyptian hookahs or Khalil Mamoons. Egyptian style hookahs do not have removable bowl adapters so naturally the tray will just pop on over the bowl adapter and snap on to the stem. Most Chinese style hookahs, like Vapor Hookahs or Mya Hookah, will have removable bowl adapters that unscrew. This adapter needs to be unscrewed to attach the tray because the center hole is drilled smaller. So after unscrewing the bowl adapter, place the tray over the threaded stem, and then re-attach the bowl adapter. It's that easy! Yet we seem to get so many support tickets for hookahs with trays that have holesthat are too small. So next time you find yourself in this predicament, try unscrewing the bowl adapter. They do this to help provide the uniform machined look. This clean, smooth, and precise look is what attracts the new generation of smokers to the community. Being able to unscrew the bowl adapter also offers unlimited possibilities when it comes to changing trays or even keeping up with the ever-changing hookah bowl scene! New bowl designs are constantly hitting the market and they sometimes require different grommets or adapters.
