Worldcup020 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey guys I'm new to the forums and this is my first post. I've owned a pretty small hookah for the last few weeks and have been smoking it pretty regularly. It has been a wonderful experience but I can never quite figure out how many coals I need to use. Usually i just set two on the top across from each other and after about 15 minutes I ash them and then move them each 90 degrees around the center of the foil. The smoke is sometimes thick, sometimes not so much. I'm just curious as to wheter my bowl is too small to need two coals or not. Its the smallest size hookah you can buy I'm pretty sure. Thanks!

racemyghost Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 it all depends on how big your bowl is.But a little hint about nakhla, it requires a bit more heat then other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 are you using quicklights? is so, break them in half before lighting, and use 3-4 halves on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldcup020 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah I am using quicklights.Do i set the halves on the outside of the bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Its always better to have the coals on the outer edge of your bowl. Nakhla does require more heat, and it will take a bowl or two to figure out the best way to manage that heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldcup020 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Do you guys suggest making a donut shape with the shisha in the bowl? As in, have a little hole in the middle of the tobacco. I read somewhere that thats a good idea for even burning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Make a tower, 3-5 coals tall. Situate the tower directly in the center of the bowl.-QM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-jay Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 if you are gonna use magic coal then good luck with that but if you are gonna use normal coal, i would put three around the top and a small one right in the middle only because i want more smoke. the pieces have to be big in the beginning but once you feel like you need more coal, put four small ones around the top and enjoyjust my two cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDA88 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 get rid of those gay quick lights and use something you can burn on a stove. Size of the hookah doesn't matter, it's the bowl and shisha. I use 3 japs and place them around 3 corners of the bowl. Well, i really use exoticas and movin to coconara's, which burn A LOT hotter so watch out cause they'l get ya!!Serously though, buy a small electic stove and buy some sultan japs just to start off with. they're the easiest to learn from before you get to the bigger and harder coals to deal with. also, if the shisha is really juicy, which is a good thing, it's harder to burn.
