Intensifying The Shisha Flavor.


Recommended Posts

I've noticed, with Starbuzz at least, that I get more flavor out of a standard Tangiers bowl then I do with the bowl that came with my Mya. It's probably due to the tobacco being spread thinner so there is more surface area exposed to the coals. The drawback is that it takes a lot of tobacco to fill the bowl.

It may be that, but with the funnel bowl keeps the juices stay in the bowl, instead of dripping down the stem with a regular bowl. This helps keep the flavor inside the bowl, and therefore helps hold the flavor. Edited by Bryantos

I'm referring to the regular Tangiers bowl, not the funnel kind. It's made like a standard bowl, just wider and shallower.

another thing i find tht really affects the smoke is how clean ur hookah pipe is. i tend to wash my pipe every smoke and i vaccuum my KM hose every 2 or 3 smokes.


I just bought it a month ago. I've cleaned it about as many times as i've smoked it. Also why whould you vacuum your hose?

Get all the Crud out. I also use a hairdryer after a session to help dry it out.

1. Don't own a vacuum, 2 i put my stem and base infront of a fan and let it dry completely for a couple of hours. I cleaned my hose once and i don't smoke 7 times a week. Only smoked it about 10 times.

well okie i smoke abt twice a week, i try and vacuum it every time. i like to maintain my leather hoses cause they rust so easily. but man after u go thick leather hoses u dun go back man, the pull is just awesome. friend got me a obscure brand from saudi arabia, better than any KM hose IMO.

10 smokes, sounds like its ready for a vacuum man. the thing is tht there will be particles in the hose.

But how does that make the shisha's flavor better? I understand that if you don't clean your shit it will fuck over the flavors. But honestly i don't have enough money to buy a vacuum cleaner.

basically thts the idea man, cleaner hose better smoke. i use to keep a leather hose just for guava and after awhile it really intensified the guava taste.
i think JD users a hair dryer. if u can find something tht sucks or pushes air in a forceful way, tht cld work as well
