everydayshisha Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Pistachio... there is no way you can get it wrong. What ever you do, it will smoke like a dream. For the rest try a bit more heat but not a whole coal. if you have a windcover put it on. If no get a piece of alum. foil (about 12-14" long and make a hollow cylinder that would fit around your bowl with 1/2 inch gap. Again if you mentioned type of coals it would be better. Nakhla is a solid smoke you just need to get the heat right, a bit more than normal but not too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynemagri Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 so that's all? ...heat managment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayshisha Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 With makhla, yes, Just use a fair amount of heat and make sure you move the coal around the bowl every 10 mins or so. Just dont let it sit there for the whole session. Also, look in thereview section for Nakhla to see which are the favourite flavours of the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much or too little heat can both hurt your sessions success. Try adding another coal, breaking it in half, moving them around. Takin them off, ETC. Experiment with it, you'll get it. Most flavors from makhla, or anyone, are going to smoke pretty much the same, you'll learn eventually learn what flavors react in what ways.

waynemagri Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I see ..but my charcoal is a quicklight and i almost covers the whole bowl..i dont understand the heat problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erufiku Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 What worked for me is that crazy "foil with tiny holes + foil ring + foil with big holes" method. Got Nakhla to smoke like a dream that time. But it takes like a quarter of an hour to set up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 if your coal almost covers the entire bowl then you have too much heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Make sure the air is flowing smoothly through your pipe/hose. Packing the bowl tight usually makes it hard to pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
