Packing The Bowl and Best Coals

[Ratman12304]

Hey Guys, as you can see by my multiple posts, I'm kind of new. I've been smoking at hookah bars for awhile and am finally ready to get my own set up.  So if you could spare a few extra seconds, I would appriciate any advise on packing a bowl, the best kinds of shisha(the best brand), and the best kinds of bowls.  I appriciate the help guys.

Clay bowls seem to be the prefered type here, metal bowls tend to get the bowl too hot and make heat managment difficult.

For packing a bowl, there are different ways people do it, but most
will agree that you shouldn't pack a bowl too tight. Try to sprinkle
the tobacco in, not pack it in too tight, and leave a few millimeters
from the tobacco to the foil.

Some favorite brands are Romann, Al Fahker, and Al Amir.

These are just a few things to remember. You will get the hang of it
with practice, and remember that there isn't one perfect way to set up
a hookah. You will find little tips and tricks that work well for you.

Good luck!

do a search. A guy named Cyprus made a video a while back about the
best way to set up his hookah. You will have to vary it a little
because every hookah is different, but it should get you on the right
track.

hookah technique varies a lot between people.  what works for me
might not be the best technique for your hookah.  as such,
experiment with ideas that people give you or that you come up with
until you find what works right for you.
