Getting To Know Your Shhmokwear

Where are the pieces of the pipe hidden?



the cap and point of attachment/detachment the “bowl” piece the “pipe” decorated with beads and hemp the mouthpiece the self-containing “smell proof” end bead

This guy in the Youtube video below does a pretty good job at explaining where the pieces are. (Skip to minute :44 for the good stuff!)

I don’t get it… How do I use it?



Unscrew the cap from the bowl, slide the knot on the mouthpiece bead to the side, slide the bead from the mouthpiece, and enjoy! There’s also a chill video on Youtube that shows how it works, you can catch it here.

the mouthpiece and “smell proof” bead system on Shhmokewear how to slide the knot (indicated by arrows) on top of the “smell proof” bead to the side the “smell proof” bead safely slid to the side to expose the mouthpiece

Do NOT attempt to uncover the mouthpiece while in position 1! This could damage your Shhmokewear.

Won’t this stink after I use it?

The cap has hemp plugging the hole in the top, and the mouthpiece has a small bead which slips over it when not in use. Through extensive product testing here at Shhmokewear Industries, we have found that the “smell proof” bead design shown by Exhibit B (shown in the question above) “locks” the odor inside the bracelet leaving little or no odor to be noticed by the wearer – regardless of the potency of tobacco used prior. Even fully loaded with tobacco, the smell is not noticeable if not at close range.

How much herb can the Wrist Hookah hold total?

We would say you can pack the bowl enough for a couple personal shhmoking sessions.

What are the hemp wicks used for?

The organic hemp wick, which you can purchase at our store, is used to light your tobacco, saving your lungs from inhaling harmful butane or other lighter fluids, and saving your tobacco from that “butane” taste. It’s an idea taken from cigar smoking, where they will light a piece of cedar and use that to light the cigar, keeping a more natural flavor to the tobacco. (You know, you could even pretend that you’re an authentic cigar shhmoker with our Shhigar Pipes…)

How do I use the organic hemp wick?

You wrap the organic hemp wick around your lighter, light the wick, and use that to light your tobacco. We found this detailed instruction video over on Youtube that will give you a better idea on how to use your hemp. (Skip to minute 1:27 to see what we mean.)

Is the only way to detach the bracelet involve opening the bowl?

You can also unscrew the bowl directly from the bracelet, which makes it seem like just a threaded bead. This is one of the main reasons to always keep your Shhmokewear clean, as tar can build up in that spot without regular maintenance. Definitely check out the Cleaning Kit that we have in our online store to avoid any tar build up.

Using Your Shhmokewear

Do I need to use screens for the glass pipes?

You don’t need a screen at all if you don’t grind your tobacco or herbals down before shhmoking. If you do grind them down, you may have problems with ash in your mouth. If you are using screens, we recommend using a honeycomb glass screen or any other glass screen with the Wrist Hookah. We have an awesome glass honeycomb screen currently in the online store.

How do I put the screens in the bowl if they are too big?

To answer your question, just try cutting the screen down with scissors, that might help.

How well do these work as tobacco pipes?

In our experience, they work beautifully as tobacco pipes. They have a good, clean draw with a smooth flow.

Can you shhmoke shisha with these like a regular water hookah?

Although many of our customers have used the Wrist Hookah to smoke shisha with good result, the Wrist Hookah is not quite like a conventional water hookah and is best used to smoke tobacco or other dried herbal blends.

I thought hookahs have a water filtration…?

We gave it the name “Wrist Hookah” because they initially doubled as hookah hoses (and some still do, depending on thread size), but there is no water filtration other than the screen.

Cleaning & Caring For Your Piece

What’s the best way to clean the Wrist Hookah?

We have a Cleaning Kit in the online store that will fulfill all your cleaning needs! The best way to clean your Wrist Hookah is with the solvent and pipe cleaners. Never use metal to clean the bowl of your Glass Wrist Hookah. We would recommend using toothpicks if you need to scrape and pipe cleaners for the pipe itself. The easiest way is to use pipe cleaners, q-tips and a rubbing alcohol-based solution. Put a small amount of alcohol into the tube (very small amount), run the pipe cleaner through, and use the qtips to clean the bowl and cap. We are currently working on a cleaning video and we will be sure to post here when we are done.

What is the best way to clean the bowl?

The easiest way we’ve found is to take a paper clip or pushpin, insert into the threads, and carefully twist while scraping. Start at the top and twist down to the screen, 2 or three times. The Cleaning Kit has everything that you would need to clean the bowl (plus more!).

Can I wear the Wrist Hookah in the water?

We don’t recommend the bracelets be worn in water, as the wooden beads will swell and possibly crack.

What should I do and not do with my Shhmokewear?

Do store your Shhmokewear in the open position when not in use to retain flexibility, especially reversible models.

store your Shhmokewear in the open position when not in use to retain flexibility, especially reversible models. Don’t immerse your Shhmokewear in water – don’t swim in your Shhmokewear, don’t shower in your Shhmokewear, and don’t put your Shhmokewear in the washing machine. The hemp on your Shhmokewear can be gently cleaned with a small brush, a small amount of warm water, and a mild detergent if necessary.

The hemp on your Shhmokewear can be gently cleaned with a small brush, a small amount of warm water, and a mild detergent if necessary. Do clean the parts of your Shhmokewear regularly using our Cleaning Kit. In addition to reducing odor, clean bowl and cap grooves make it easier to open and close your Shhmokewear. Of course, be sure that all cleaning solution is rinsed out before using your Shhmokewear.

Shhmokewear Products & Pieces

What is my Shhmokewear made out of?

Our Original Wrist Hookahs have metals parts: brass or nickel-plated aluminum. Nearly all of our beads are painted wood; however, beads on the Super Stealth model are powder coated plastic (to avoid rust). Our Glass Wrist Hookahs have bowl and mouthpiece of laboratory-grade borosilicate glass. The interior tubing is FDA-approved food-grade vinyl tubing. And of course, we use only the best beeswax-coated hemp for all Shhmokewear.

What exactly are the pipes under the hemp made from?

We use FDA approved food grade vinyl tubing in the Wrist Hookah. The Wrist Hookah is designed to be a utility or personal pipe and is not meant for constant or extended use. Under normal conditions, the tubing in the Wrist Hookah will never touch a flame from your lighter and will only fail if misused or under abnormal conditions. O-rings have also been added to the Wrist Hookah design to further stop heat conductivity from the bowl piece to the rest of the unit, also our products get the best testing before they get commercialized, using the top product testing companies as testerheld which specialize in this.

Wouldn’t the interior vinyl tubing melt with heat?

The tube is made of a custom laboratory grade vinyl made specifically for our product. It’s been heat tested for up to 450 degrees, and our tests showed the heat entering the tube hits a max of 325 degrees. We use multiple rubber rings to minimize heat transfer between the parts, and have a small buffer zone between the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the tubing itself. Unless you are using a direct butane (or hotter) flame in a completely empty bowl, the risk is minimal. We recommend hemp wick to light your tobacco, not just because butane’s fumes are harmful (and not very tasty), but also because it keeps the temperatures down for a more comfortable smoking experience.

How does the ninja bowl work?

The Ninja Bowl is the newest and best upgrade to stealth technology. The o-rings around the bowl stop the heat conductivity so you can smoke out of your Wrist Hookah and then handle the bowl with your bare hands.

Can the ninja chamber come with the glass Wrist Hookah?

To answer your question, the Ninja Upgrades are not compatible with the Glass Wrist Hookahs. We are currently working on stealthier glass models. However, the Glass Wrist Hookah is new and improved with the addition of the elastic shock cord to the design and is now better than ever.

What is the difference between a metal hookah and a glass hookah?

The Original Wrist Hookahs are made with nickle-plated brass parts and the Glass Wrist Hookahs have Borosilicate glass bowls.

Is the necklace you guys sell the same as the bowl?

Yep, it is the same except it is longer and a very cool necklace, as opposed to a bracelet. There’s a cool fan-made video over on Youtube that shows how it works.

Do you sell any vaporizers?

Yep, we do. We have compact Puff-It Stealth Vaporizers that you can buy in our online store. It is small and discreet, looking like a medical inhaler. Another convenient to use your tobacco and herbals.
