natgnat Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 So I FINALLY got around to smoking my new hookah today, and it was first time ever setting up.The specs:MZ Sirius Hookah from socialsmokeMedium socialsmoke bowlLayalina RaspberryBasic Washable hose from socialsmoke (notice a pattern here?)Belgian quicklites charcol from socialsmokeA hell of a lot of prayer that I wouldn't screw up too badlyAll I can say is I'm glad this forum exists. Ha ha.I did decently I guess...those charcols gave me hell-and-a-half because they took forever to light (quicklites my ASS; though I should probably mention I had to resort to my Zippo and several matches to get the things going as I was without a stove). And I did manage to burn the shisha towards the end. But overall I got some great clouds, good flavor, and my friend that I dragged along to provide emotional support said it was a decent smoke. I think I've gotten most of the experimental workings out of the way, and (if I'm lucky), it can only go uphill from here. Now I just need to UPGRADE (and maybe not drool over my computer at a Nammor hose and just buy the thing).Just for the fun of it, I'm wondering if anyone remembers thier first time setting up, and how well it went.

Bulldog_916 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Best 9 dollars you will ever spend will be on a coil stove at Walgreens. Get it! N-O-W! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eVasKo* Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just keep making bowls, and you'll get used to your hookah and have plenty of good sessions. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Enjoy every session, and always make it countsmoke up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy1966 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 My first sessions were very good because I had someone here where I live show me the tricks of the trade to smoke Nahkla. Then I moved on to Tangiers about a year and half later and that is all I smoke now. You will get good sessions and bad ones starting out. Just remember what you did for the good ones Coil burner from Walgreens will help you out. Thats what I use to light Coconaras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natgnat Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hmm, the coil stove may not be a half-bad idea...though I should be ok when I move into my new apartment in a few weeks. I'll certainly look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookah hippie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Welcome to the forum you will definitley get better with practice. I personally love the nammor hose and use one with all my hookahs as for the coil burner make sure you get one with an exposed coil the others will suck and you will regret it. Also you might want to consider yourself a funnel bowl. Good Luck and happy smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 another option for lighting quicklites is those mini blow torches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Welcome to the forum. Don't worry figuring out how to pack tobacco for each style of bowl will soon make sense. and everything else hookah related. Light up and enjoy. Don't be afraid to ask questions!
