Dear readers, Bellow is the description for the diffuser that has come with the Hookahs direct from the factory: " This is the new product of our factory, its aim is to reduce the health hazard of using Narjeela and to protect the health of smokers. Its profits include: 1) The filter works through small holes on its surface to divide the smoke, in contact with water, into smaller portions which results in a better wash of the smoke, thus reducing nicotine levels. 2) The filter reduces the smoke temperature by dividing large bubbles into smaller ones resulting of larger number of bubbles getting incontact with water. 3) The filter prevents smoke condensing in the glass. 4) The filter maintains the aroma of tobacco throughout smoking operation, and keeps the smoke white and thick. 5) The filter prevents itchy throat, and provides easier inhaling action. 6) The filter works on reducing gargling noises within the glass, and provides a stunning view of bubble storm 7) The smoke rejuvenates with each inhaling, and stays sparkling white in the glass " I hope this clears up a few of the questions regarding the Al Fakher Hookah for our readers. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.

I have a feeling that if I don't use it I'm going to suck water through the hose since the downstem isn't very long and the water will be high. Gonna give it another try in a while and I'll give my second thoughts. Hrm what does the diffuser do? and how does it work... never seen or heard of one... looks wierd...
