Good morning,
As I thought about the international section, it came to my mind, that it might be useful having a little dictionary. If we hopefully have some international Users here soon (a german User advertised us @ youtube) it's an advantage knowing several expressions about hookah to get problems solved more easy.
German --> English
Wasserpfeife --> Hookah (thx to mp3 )
Köppi --> Clay Bowl
Ascheteller --> Ash plate
Rauchsäule --> Stem (translation taken from:
http://www.hooka-hookah.com/img/hookah-info.gif)
Ventil --> One way valve
Schlauch --> Hose
Bowl --> (Glass) base (translation taken from: http://www.hooka-hookah.com/img/hookah-info.gif)
Tabak --> Shisha
Kohle --> charcoal
NaturKohle --> natural (char) coals
Selbstzündis --> selflightning charcoal
Alufolie --> aluminium/kitchen foil
Furthermore I think it would be quite useful, if (german) User has a problem, he'd post it here in the international section, because I myself would register in a foreign board, with only a single section, which is - on top of all - almost empty.
--> if the mods do not appreciate this thread you might close it on your own will, but please tell me the reasons for closing via pm thankies.
regards,
--> I'd be thankful for feedback and improvable aspects
