Just check for leaks if your having problem with no thick smoke or packing technique. Dont use milk you'll mess your hose up.


I'm not really having any problems I just was wondering if there was a way to make my smoke its thickest without doing anything I'd regret

Well what kind of shisha are you smoking? What kind of bowl do you have? What kind of pipe do you have? Do you have good hose? These are all factors in smoke density, be a little more specific because what works with one setup wont generally work for every setup. I will say that proper bowl packing and heat management are essential for huge clouds.

We should sticky this for folks asking for advice on smoke density! Is it me or does this always have to be asked? I'm glad to help any new members but come on folks, give us some details here!

By "proper" bowl packing for huge smoke I'd recommend Denser, and good heat...


But, heres some simplistic advice:

Fusion / Starbuzz: sprinkle in, lightly pack it to or slightly below the rim

AF: Same as above

Tangiers lucid: pack dense to the rim

Tangiers OG: Pack dense until it "sponges" back up to slightly ABOVE the rim (prevailing wisdom of 2 american quarter width's above, like 1/2 or less of a Millimeter)

Use heat accordingly, you should be fine.

I don't smoke SB or Fusion anymore, but with AF I always get monster clouds and great flavor..same for the tangiers.

Water level and leaks will also effect the clouds (if your sucking in due to a leak Oxygen / air vs the smoke, that'll thin it out of course...).

I prefer the most amount of water possible, helped by a diffuser to prevent back-wash (or whatever) into the house...I'm typically 1" below water level with the stem.

Good luck!

(stickies aren't available for this because I believe more traffic is derived in new threads (ergo content) of people asking these things biggrin.gif)
