Cerritus Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm not sure if anyone else has tried this, but after reading about scalli's newest idea this is what I came up with.If you make a ring of foil and put it in your bowl with the shisha you get better smoke. The heat gets transferred to all the shisha more evenly, so it heats throughout. I'm smoking a from a standard egyptian bowl and getting thicker clouds with more flavor that from any phunnel bowl I've ever smoked.Try it and let me know how it works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trivial Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 cool idea... but wow u packed the shit out of the bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugeneofsmokerings Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 What if you did 2 rings? Lined the outside of the bowl is foil and then did a ring in the middle. I would think more heat distribution could only increase the amount of smoke you produce. Someone give it a try, I'm waiting on my new hookah right now.

jschoenith Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 i'll try the two ring idea tomorrow when i smoke and i'll post how it goes. I've tried the ring idea where you put the ring on the inside of the bowl but i was a small bowl pack but it worked pretty well. I was impressed with it but i will need to try the two ring idea out.

Eugeneofsmokerings Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It won't let me edit my post, but just to clarify, I was thinking of lining the INSIDE of the bowl with foil(outside of the shisha), as well as having the ring as pictured by the original poster. Sorry if that was confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerritus Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Lining the inside doesn't do much. The clay bowl already holds heat pretty well. [But you can always make it into a fake phunnel with foil in the bottom. I'd like to see how the two work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhanzair Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 My hookah's bowl is bronze, and I always cover the inside with foil - not to distribute heat evenly or something, just to help cleaning (yeah, I like my hookah nice and tidy). I also perforate the inside covering as I do with the top covering. As I said, I didn't do this to make any special smoke effect, just because it was how I thought you were supposed to do it.Anyhoo, I always wondered why my hookah produced much more (and better tasting) smoke than the really good ones I smoke from at bars and an egyptian (no idea what brand it is, it was actually bought in egypt I think) a friend of mine has - now I'm wondering if this "technique" of mine doesn't have any influence. I mean, it must distribute heat more evenly, and the holes in the bottom layer probably distribute the heated air more evenly throughout the shisha. Anyone wanna give this a try and compare with the normal amount of smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronvb24 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 well jhanzair I do exactly as you do it. For the same keeping it cleaner reason and easy removal factor. I am going to try that inner ring idea. Sounds like a good idea question on that tho. Do you leave a gap so that the smoke from the outer side can go in it or punch holes through the wall... Any special technique.. For thick smoke I usually put ice cubes in the base with the water.. Works everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blagage Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 i am in the process of trying this out. Nak Mizo Orange flavor. It has been going for 2 hours Three rounds of coals Lots of smoke and good flavor. I say it works, but it may just be the Nak. i will try this again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I don't understand how this works. Foil is a poor heat conductor...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benikou Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) my opinion it acts like a wind screen inside the bowl.. it will let give you more heat with less oxygen inside and that will burn the tobacco but without less oxygen the tobacco wont burn as hot ice in the base gives just makes the smoke less harsh.
