Make Sure You Have The Right Bowl For Your Hookah


Recommended Posts

Tonight I had a friend over, and I set up my Mya Gyro as best as I could. I have it 'down pat' for a great smoke, I know how to set everything up by myself.

Being that it is two of us, I used another bowl, the bowl that did not come with my hookah, because it was bigger to hold more shisha.

I used the same amount of coals and everything and did not overfill it.

The result was that it tasted burnt, and was not fun.

After a bit, I exchanged this big bowl for the normal Mya bowl that came with the hookah, set it up as I normally did, and lo and behold, a great cool smoke with lots of white smoke.

This may be helpful to someone, so, if you have a setup that works, keep it.

its all about toggling your different things. certain bowls require alot of heat, some not at all. for example, my phunnel requires about 1.5 to 2x the amount of heat my Mya bowl does. i have shallow bowl that takes less than a coal to run.

heat management is a make or break for hookah.

lol then you did something wrong. ive used mya bowls, egyption bowls, funnels with my gyro, all work perfectly.


I don't know what-I tried a small coal first and got almost nothing, then one a little bigger, nothing. It was either very little smoke or too much burnt smoke.

I also used Romman apple and I am getting tired of the stuff. With the Al Fakher mint it was great with the Mya bowl.

Also, I don't know if anyone else experienced this, it was the first time I used my Mya Gyro as a two hoser, and it was useless with two hoses, not enough suction. Went back to one hose and all was well.

QTF.

I would never try to set up two completly different bowls the same.

Ever considered that you could have packed the bowl too much or too little, in the majority of cases when over packing I find the inhale to be hard for me, yet with under packing I find the inhale to not have enough smoke.

Anyways I know experimenting can be a waste of time and good flavour! but it can be the key to a great sheesha.
