Johnny_D Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 What Tobacco & coals are you planning on using?Different tobacco's sometimes like different setup's.I'd also look into getting a washable hose and maybe a funnel bowl.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofrendo Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 My advice would have been to not order that hookah... always start with a single hose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of 3 king quick lites and i bought some slow lighting romman coals. The hookah is coming with 2 50g packs of romman shisha and i bought some al amir shisha to try it out (never heard of the brand before and the price wasnt bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 And you'll get golden coals with your shisha order as well. Those romman coals are a little hard to use. You have to break them into pieces cause they come in random shaped pieces. If you've smoked before oyu don't need a one hosed hookah. Frankly i don't even use mine, my Mya with 3 hose stakes up all the stardom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulonfire11 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 with the romman coals, what would be the best way to start them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You have to use a stove or propane torch. Lighters don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenSilk Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I use tinfoil. Make a thick square shaped layer and put them right on there. Poke holes in it so the flame can touch the coal itself. They should light in 5-10 minutes. I think i use QL coals more though. More Convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinamon Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 i smoked with starbuzz natural coals again last night and noticed it gave me a weird bite in my throat. i took that coal off and used 3kings instead and it was fine.so i just threw half a box of the starbuzz coals in my fireplace. lol.

bkag Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 This is a funnel bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You shouldn't worry about phunnels until you can pack a mean bowl in a standard one. Once you get that pat down, then that's when you are ready for the awesome power of a phunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulonfire11 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 does a funnel bowl just allow more smoke to accumulate and prevent the shisha from falling into the pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Not necessarily the smoke thing but it prevents juices from flowing down the stem so it assists in cleanliness along with keeping the juices in and allows the tobacco to bake in its juicy goodness and allows for shisha to be smoke for HOURS on end with no flavor loss. It is also necessary in a most optimal experience with Tangiers (although not needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulonfire11 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 oh alright that makes complete sense, it even sounds smarter. ill have to buy one of these and try out this method (or make my friends buy it for me since they will be mooching off my kickass hookah)also ive seen chillers to put ice in and such, are these good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Chillers are pretty useless. The most effective way to ice up the hookah is to put ice directly into the base (recommended) or to put your pipe in a bucket and fill the bucket with ice. The latter method has the cool effect last a little bit longer because ice in the base tends to melt quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
