Darkside Intro Hookah – Blue, 41.5 cm Classic Draw

Darkside Intro Hookah — 41.5 cm classic draw with magnetic hose

What it is, why it helps, how it works, why you want it: This is Darkside’s compact, modern hookah designed to feel “classic” on the pull. At 41.5 cm, it’s easy to set up at home or pack for a session elsewhere. The hose attaches magnetically, so connects fast and stays put; the purge vents vertically around the base for a clean clear-out. It comes with the original Darkside glass base, so you’re ready to build a complete pipe from the box.

We import the genuine Darkside Accessories direct from Darkside. INTRO (Blue) is a compact, modern hookah built for a smooth, classic draw, a clean vertical purge around the base, and a magnetic hose connector that clicks in securely. The original Darkside glass base is supplied in the box for a complete setup.

Session feel

INTRO delivers that familiar DS balance: open and responsive with a neat vertical purge. The magnetic hose connector and click-fit base keep everything stable while you focus on flavour.

Setup & tips

• Fill the base so the downstem sits about 2–3 cm under water for a balanced draw.
• Pair with an HMD and coconut charcoal for steady, clean heat.
• Diffuser: not included — enjoy the classic draw as designed.

Craft & performance

• Stable base lock: click system secures the glass base to the shaft for confident handling.
• Consistent airway response: classic, flavour-forward draw with an easy pull.
• Minimalist purge behaviour: even ring around the base clears quickly and looks tidy on-table.

Care & upkeep

• Rinse the glass after each session; allow parts to dry fully before storage.
• Avoid abrasive pads on coated parts; mild dish soap and warm water are enough.
• Check seals periodically; lightly grease silicone gaskets if they feel dry.

Quick fixes

• Harsh taste: Ease heat; crack HMD lid for 10–15 s; rotate coals.
• Thin clouds: Fully light coals; add a third 26 mm cube after 5–7 min; check all seals.
• Tight draw: Lower water level so the downstem sits ~2 cm under.
