Bushbr Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 gotta love hookah related innuendo.anyway, just kinda wondering what everyone prefers as far in the foil. for those of u that use foili prefer lots of little holes, but very deep in an asterisc formation * <------- one of thosei find holes that are too wide tend to let too much ash in when moving the coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 i use the stuff that you put corn on the cobs on. you know the handle with 2 prongs. thats what i use to poke my holes, so they are a decent size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canon Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 why does everyone insist on making holes deep? ive never made my holes deep and have had no problem smoking shisha.but yeah, if your into that, you can make holes pretty deep with this. plus you dont have to poke as many times cause each poke=2 holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushbr Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 ive found that deeper holes make for a smoother and fuller smoke, and i think ive heard others say the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manic007 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I use the pointy thingy which comes attached to the tongs. I figure Mya must know what the optimal size is, why use anything else?. . . and waiting for froaming at the mouth ranting from the hookah community in 5. . . 4 . . . 3 . . .

antouwan Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 i actually got sewing needles especially for poking the holes in the foil. i use A LOT of holes needle sized...doesn't let that much ash in, but the quantity of holes allows enough air flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Lots of pin sized holes except for Tangiers, in which case you need a lot of bigger deeper holes. I can do shallow small holes as much as I can do bigger deeper holes, just a matter of preference I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman65 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I find it a lot harder to manage heat with big holes, so I do a lot of little holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
