Essentials Foil Poker – 10 cm Stainless Tip

Essentials foil poker — 10 cm stainless tip for clean, repeatable airflow

What it is, why it helps, how it works—simple: This is a compact tool for poking neat, consistent holes in shisha foil. The fine stainless-steel tip pierces cleanly so your bowl breathes evenly, which keeps heat steady and sessions smoother. You hold the moulded handle, press through taut foil, and build a tidy pattern—fast, repeatable, no tearing.

We designed this pocket-size poker for quick, mess-free prep. The sharp stainless tip glides through standard hookah foil, while the ergonomic plastic handle gives sure grip—even with damp hands. At just 10 cm and ~15 g, it lives in your kit without bulk and delivers dialled-in airflow every session.

What sets it apart

• Clean, tear-free perforations because the fine stainless-steel tip makes precise micro-holes.
• Secure control with a moulded plastic handle that stays sure in wet hands.
• Travel-ready form factor at only 10 cm length and ~15 g weight.
• Corrosion-resistant build from a stainless-steel stem you can wipe and go.
• Easy to spot in a busy setup with bright handles in Red, Green, or Yellow.

Fit & compatibility

Universal foil fit. Works with any standard hookah/shisha foil on any bowl shape—this tool simply creates the airflow pattern you choose.

How to dial it in

• Tension first: pull your foil tight across the bowl.
• Pattern: punch an outer ring of holes ~5–7 mm from the rim; add a smaller inner ring over the tobacco-free zone.
• Heat tuning: for hotter coal sets, add a few centre holes; for lighter heat, stick to the outer ring.

Care & upkeep

• Wipe the tip after each use and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid bending the tip; store capped or in a pouch.
• Hand-wipe only to preserve the handle finish.

Quick fixes

• Foil tears while poking → increase foil tension; lighten pressure; use shorter, straight pushes.
• Harsh heat early → reduce centre holes; keep most holes in the outer ring.
