cassinho Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I though i posted this but seems like i didnt hit ''Post New Topic''Well here we go, i finally got my hookah after dealing with a very bad public postal service, but it's here w/o a scratch!I tested it our with some Al Waha Vanilla and Quick Light SOEX charcoals and it smoked great, not very thick smoke tho, since this was my first time setting a hookah up i got some questionsI used about 5g of shisha, is that enough?Only used 1 coal, should i use more than that or perhaps breaking it into parts?I guess i used a little less water than it was needed, how does this affect the smoking experience?PS: Yes i have a DBZ poster in my room, it reminds me when i was a kid, also i have my lawyer medal from graduating last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfaltous Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 The amount of shisha you use depends on the bowl, but 5g seems like its a bit too little... Generally I use 15-40g depending on the bowl I use. Also, if you're trying to get better smoke its a good chance your problem lies in not enough heat.. easiest way to find out is next time throw on another half-coal and see how it turns out.. if the smoke gets harsh, you know that its too much Congrats on the new hookah!

Snoopy1966 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 From what I can see in the pic, 5 grams would be way to little for that bowl. Fill'er up man. For water, make sure you have about at least 1 inch of the stem into the water. It looks like the down stem goes pretty far down. Test it out, with no bowl on it and make sure the water level does not come up to much while you take a pull. You don't want the water coming up the hose. For QL's, definitely break them in half if they are 33mm and 4 pieces for a 40mm. For a Phunnel bowl I can take a 40mm and just break it in half and place at opposite sides of the bowl, same placement for any bowl really.

Seanij Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 that bowl would take around 25-40g of shisha man.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassinho Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 i see, i just tried to pack it so the shisha does not go above the top, since i've been reading those tangiers packing threads, i though it shouldnt look like that since that was overpacking hehe, ill put a little more next time...Any other advise? 1 coal and a half next time then?

Seanij Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Isnt tangiers meant to be right the top, but not overpacked? >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 try 2 coals, taking one off when necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 QUOTE (Seanij @ Jan 22 2008, 10:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>that bowl would take around 25-40g of shisha man..No way this thing packs over 25grams. 40grams is REALLY strectching it. The bowl does not look deep enough.I will say 25g and less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassinho Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Thx for the advices, i just tested it with a coal and a half and it went a alot more, it had a lot more flavor, i dont know if it's cuz this roses shisha has a lot of flavor or something but it was a lot more smoke definitlyAlso i put a little more than last time it lasted for a good amount of timeActually, now i have a new question, when do you know you should stop smoking? does the flavor run out, does it get harsh or when the coal turns off?

PhishPhood Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I usually go through 3 or 4 rounds of coals per bowl (usually 1.5 at a time). They go for around a 1.5 to 2 hours.You will know its beat when it starts to taste burned and smoke starts to thin out a lot. Flavor comes and goes sometimes throughout the smoke, depending on your heat.Just pull the foil up and check things out after 45 mins to an hour. You will start to get a good idea of how long you can go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
