Why is my hookah tray loose?
A loose hookah tray is not necessarily abnormal so don't worry just yet. Many traditional hookahs, like those from Khalil Mamoon, feature trays that will move slightly from side to side however many modern hookahs feature more exact tray measurements that will not be loose. As a general rule, as long as your hookah tray is firmly supported from underneath and does not tilt when something like tongs or coals are placed on it, then it should be acceptable to use and will not affect your hookah's performance.
