gunsNhookah Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I've watched Codename's vids thousands of times, but I can never get that amount of smoke. My choice of weapons are small phunnel, solid brass hookah from egypt (it's 15 years old!!!), tangiers, cocos and CH natural coals, and nammor hose.I've tried over packing with tangiers with numerous amounts of holes, under packing, using 1 row of holes, etc. I can get thick smoke, but still the standard sized basketball amount of smoke.Could it be that I need a bigger bowl to hold more shisha thus having more air to go through it? The air to shisha ratio could be impossible for me to attain with a small phunnel, but I've seen Codename use small phunnels and still obtain smoke grenade sized clouds.Any knowledge or wisdom would be appreciated.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalsmoker Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) If you dont care about taste and just wanna get huge clouds drench your tobacco in vegtable glycerin...BTW, It seems like you have a legit setup, you should be getting pretty big clouds.

Tyler Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Are you taking big enough hits to equal the amount of smoke you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evlpengwyn Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If you aren't already, try poking holes through the foil all the way through the shisha to the bottom of the bowl. Try using a lot of holes, not just one row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdx88 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 the key to clouds is learn how to pack a bowl right and proper heat management. Adding glycerin and a ton of coals will give you clouds but will result in harsh tasteless smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding coals for me increases thickness of clouds, not the amount of clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjacksm Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Once you start packing the phunnel correctly you will get these godly clouds. I still pack my phunnel wrong and I get bad clouds time to time. Also a good hose Narbish or Nammor would make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the smoke is thick and the volume is small the problem is the amount of air your pulling through the pipe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBY Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I hate phunnels, could be because I couldn't get them to work.. or just because they were harder to change shisha after each session. I prefer the good ol normal bowl.IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) Didn't mean to start anything. Just wondering how it can be easier to change out, with the holes and whatnot... I definitely won't be saying anything ban-worthy. Back on topic... Edited October 2, 2009 by INCUBUSRATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using a lot of holes, not just one row.So I went ahead and tried this. Indeed this allows for better airflow. But the best part was I put two cocos side by side, instead of across from each other, and got super uber clouds without harsh penalty. Flavor was down a bit, but I could still make out the horchata.I mean, I thought the clouds would never end. Can't wait to try more packing methods.
