goon Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 ok so i got 3 hookah, all airtight, all got ball bearings, all clean from the inside to the out.the bowl is in perfect condition.the newest shisha i got i al fakher cherry. i got it because its meant to be the best flavour..welll it werent.infact none of my shisha have an ovewhelming flavour.the only hookah i use is my 25'' one, and dat seemed to work when i got it.now i hardly get any flavour from my the dripping wet al fakher cherry, thoghu i meant to,yeh the heat management is right, im using 2 quiklites (swift), and that gives me good smoke, no flavour,well maybe a hint of cherry, but nothin special. i use a foil, with a circle pattern all around the edge going inwards.whats happningg!!

Anxiety Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) your getting good smoke but not flavor...is the smoke harsh? you should probaly tone it down a notch .w the heat, try using one quick lite cut it in half and put each half on the side of the bowl. Also with quicklites make sure to let it get hot before putting it on or else you will get a chemical taste Edited May 4, 2008 by Anxiety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkyfisherman Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yea try just using one QL. What about your bowl what kind is it? If it can try and make it into a fake phunnel. IMO I've found that phunnels give you the best flavor and other shallow bowls like a mod bowl give you better smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Use one ql, broken into quarters, placed around the bowl. Ther isn't a tobacco alive that can do anything but burn with 2 whole ql's hotspotting through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majid Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 So it's not leaking? Hmm to me, flavour is most effected by airflow in the bowl. Tried packing it loosely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikemyusername Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 well, you do realize that smoking a fruit is not like eating a fruit, are you tasting anything? does it taste good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechAnt Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 AF Cherry in my experience doesnt have the strongest of flavors. Their Mint, Double Apple, and some others have much stronger flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 id say try using better flavors. My experience with AL fahkner isn't that exceptional. I'd say try fusion, fumari, starbuzz and layalina, and prob. in that order.m as far as flavor goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaker29902 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 make sure your using coldish water and chilling the base/stem is a good idea to. Sometimes when I take the time to make sure everything is nice and cold it condenses the smoke which usually = more flavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goon Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 cool thanks for the replies, im gonna try the phunnel bowl out.ive seen it done before, just looked complicated.thing is, i AM jus using one coal most of the time, and when i break it in half the hookah seems like it dnt wanna work. but yeh im sure ill figure something out. im really only after strong flavours, so al fakher mint it is!id like a nice chocolate flavour, sum1 told me it was nice, any recommendations so i can buy it off the net.im frm uk, i got the alfakher one off shishashop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjalex Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 What do you mean when you break a coal in half it seems like it doesn't want to work? You need to disperse the heat a little bit like mush said. If you put the entire coal on it, then you will just burn that part and it will ruin it. Try breaking it into quarters like mush said and putting them around the edges. Also, I have had great luck with a coke can windcover for insulating the heat on the bowl. It fits perfectly over my standard bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
