Thanks, will remember that.  lol Just gotta get back into it all.  Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone for refreshing my poor old memory, and I was looking I have been a member here since I started smoking way back in 2008, wow.

Ok, yeah so it had the right amount of water in the beginning and I took some out, a mistake.  Yes an Egyptian bowl, and I probably made the made the mistake of mashing it in the bowl.  I was smoking Fantasia.  I think I have gotten a pretty good picture of my mistakes, such newb mistakes, lol, oh well.  I am going to try it again later with my mind refreshed on what the heck I need to be doing.  I actually have quite a stash to smoke, stuff brand new sealed in boxes.

I don't have pics, but I had the holes in the foil in a circular pattern all the way to the one in the middle, lol remembered that.. I just have the bowl that came with my KM.  I think the way I packed it may have been the issue.  Its supposed to kind of make noise at first when you put the coal on it right (using coco naras).  I also had an issue deciding if I had put too much in the base, I know the stem needs to be covered by about half an inch right?  I cant remember if it is supposed to bubble when you pull on the hose.  I hope this helps sorry I don't have pics.  I hope I can get an idea of what I got wrong so I can smoke later, loll.   Thanks everyone!

So I can finally use my Hookah and was all excited getting it set up and stuff, and I feel like a newb again.  I did something wrong and I am not sure what.  At first I though I had too much water in the base, then I though I had over packed the bowl, but its supposed to be packed tight and up to the foil right?  I started to smoke it and it had almost no pull.  I used to be able to do this with my eyes closed, ugg.  So what did I do wrong?  Geez I embarrassed, that I even have to ask for help.  But it has been 2+ years. So help a girl out.
