The Sahara Vortex smoking system keeps the juices from the shisha in the bowl instead of dripping into the water thus resulting in a more flavorful and smoother smoke. The Vortex allows the hot airflow from the charcoal to be redirected over the entire bowl to maximize coverage.  And the spire on the Sahara Vortex smoking system keeps the charcoal distanced from your shisha to prevent scorching.
