natsfan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was wondering if I could get some suggestions to a problem I am having. I bought a 10" mini hookah and some small but very cheap coals. I have tried three different flavors of tobacco and the result has been the same: I get lots of flavorless smoke. What do you think might be happening? Thanks in advance!

I've done that.2. Not sure of the brand name of the coals, all I know is that they are pretty small and very cheap.3. The shisha is Al-Fakher grape, plum, and cappuccino. All three flavors have produced the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambuletzd2h Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) i would go with its probably the coals then, are they natural or quicklights? Edited January 16, 2009 by ambuletzd2h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modisess Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 yep, switch the coals. if you're coals light fairly quickly, or if you just can just use a lighter to get them started then you are using quicklight charcoals. go with natural coals instead.

natsfan Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Thanks for the help everyone! Yes my coals are quick light. I will switch to natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inino Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 also, make sure the coal is fully lit before you put it on, if its even a little black, it could throw some un wanted flavor in the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natsfan Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I switched to silver-coated Starlight coals and it made a big difference. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
