Tips And Tricks

This is for all the newbies for a quick reference. I hope this helps you guys to have a great smoke session.

A good trick for getting a cooler smoke is to place your dry hookah Hose inside of the freezer 20 to 45 minutes before you smoke that way it's nice and cool when you smoke.

For a sweeter and perhaps more flavorful smoke, you can add some wine to the top two inches of the water in the base of your hookah. It's a happier smoke, and you can really taste the wine.

Mixing and matching flavors is a very fun thing to experiment when trying to create the ultimate flavor. Mixing "mint" with other flavors provides for a cool refreshing taste. If you think you have the best flavor then post it here so we can share it with the rest.

After you're done poking your holes in the foil, blow through the bottom of the bowl. This prevents any shisha from getting stuck in the small holes found on the bottom of your bowl and makes your hookah pull better. Also A toothpick is the best choice.

Try putting coke instead of water and use the "cola flavored" shisha tobacco. It really enhances the cola taste.

Try mixing lemon juice, orange juice, or some other flavor into the water in your glass base to have that juicy taste of fruits.

Try putting ice in the glass base of your hookah and get the water ice cold before smoking. This makes for a smoother more enjoyable smoking experience.

When you first start smoking your hookah, try placing the charcoal on the outside of the bowl and working it around the edges of the bowl. The center of the bowl should be the last place your charcoal is placed.

Because of it's consistency, shisha tends to clump up. Before you pack the bowl, crumble it up in your fingers to spread it out throughout the bowl.

Once you get the bowl packed, take a square of aluminum foil from one of our hookah foil packs. Wrap the foil over the top so that the surface is tight. Use a toothpick or something else very small to poke a bunch of tiny holes in the foil. Place the charcoal on the foil once its lit. It will still heat the shisha, but it keeps any charcoal taste out.

When you place the foil tightly over the hookah bowl, make sure the shiny side is facing down so it will retain more heat from the charcoal.

It's good to always blow out the smoke that collects in the glass base every once in a while so the smoke does not become stale. This gets rid of some of the harsh flavor from the stale smoke, and is said to help remove a layer of carbon monoxide that is said to collect just above the water.

Smoking Tip: Take a piece of charcoal and split it into 2 pieces or 4 pieces and put them on the corners of your bowl to get a nice even burn. The more coals you use the more smoke you will get and the less coals you use the less smoke you will get. (note: don't use too much coal though because you start to get a harsh taste).

When packing your hookah bowl line the inside of the bowl with foil and then punch through the holes on the inside of the bowl. The foil lining prevents flavor from soaking into the clay bowl (not necessary for metal or glazed bowls).

If the smoke gets too "ashy or harsh" then possible take off some coal. If you're not getting enough smoke then add some coal.

Break up your shisha and lightly place it in your bowl to ensure proper air flow through the bowl. This is the most common mistake when people first start smoking, it does not heat the shisha properly and makes it difficult to draw through your hookah.

All of this tips and trick can help you guys for a great session. Peace keep smoking shisha

about carbonated drinks in the base... make sure they go flat first. I've heard (but not tried) that the co2 will give you a headacke.

Lime juice is good with any citrus or tart fruit flavor

It filters the smoke better, I read somewhere?

Same with milk, but make sure to only put a little bit

They keep it from being harsh.

IF BOTH ENDS HAVE THE AUTO SEAL, THAN PERZN HAS A POINT. YOU CAN "BLOW".

YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE ONE OF THE BEARINGS OUT, CREATING A "MASTER VALVE" SO TO SPEAK. THIS WAY THE PERSON WHO IS ON THAT VALVE CAN BLOW INTO IT TO PURGE THE SMOKE OUT OF THE CHAMBER.

SORRY FOR CAPS, WORK PC

Still, at least you never have to repeatedly say "COVER YOUR HOLE" again if you're smoking with a newbie.
