Sin on Sunday Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I have smoked many times over the last 2 years or so, but until now the hookah was never mine. I either smoked at a lounge or used my roommates. I picked up a Mya Petite on hookah-shisha after reading MANY positive reviews of it on this site, and the price tag didn't hurt either Took about 6 days to arrive, and I was disappointed that shipping cost so much ($12). I should have ordered more shisha and a funnel bowl with it, as you can maybe see in the pics the bowl is small and pretty shallow. unfortunately, my local shop doesnt carry phunnel bowls smoking it right now, it is pretty nice. getting a decent amount of smoke though its not as thick as i expected. the romman shisha is nice, haven't had it before. i'm smoking the sweet start. its flavorful and i got a decent buzz already. now for the picsall set upwith the accessories (2x golden coals, 2x50g romman flavor, wire brush, tongs, bag of female and male tips)shisha and coalstaken apartbaby bowlso far im pretty satisfied, it bubbles really well and the smoke is decent considering the bowl is so small. once i get a phunnel it should be better.

Sin on Sunday Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 been through a bowl now and i must say i am under-impressed... the bowl lasted maybe 30 minutes. obviously this has something to do with the shallowness of the bowl. so i am using a deeper clay bowl now and i packed it pretty lightly to let air flow through, used 2 coals, and got really weak smoke. so i took off a coal and same thing... very little smoke. some thoughts on the design of the hookah... the stem is pretty short, i have to put in a lot of water to submerge the bottom of them stem by 3/4 inch or so... so there is not much room in the base for smoke it seems. also, my problem MAY be that the screen i got has tabs on the side to attach it to the bowl, but on this bigger bowl the screen is not quite big enough, and the screen is slightly raised from the top of the bowl cause of the tabs. any thoughts?

rhineholt Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 How about instead of using that screen, you use foil? Start off with one coal and a half of another. As for the smoke problem, the bowl is a large factor in that. However, heat management is what it's all about. So just do what I suggested up there.

Universal Magnetic Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) get rid of the screen and use foil. with such a small hookah with a small bowl you shouldnt need more than 1 coal (more than 1 coal i can almost assure you it will be too harsh in this case)give that a try. also just double check to make sure there are no leaks.

rhineholt Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Here.http://www.hookahforum.com/?showtopic=33979Refer to Zinite's way of filling the base with water. He gets the petite to smoke really well, so try to copy his every move. There's a picture at the end of his first post that has the hookah filled with water. Compare with yours.

He doesn't use that adapter anymore because he wanted to use a bigger hose.But that shouldn't be any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The amount of air left in the vase after being filled with water won't change how well it smokes. You're not getting good smoke because you are using a screen. Try the foil out and get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectrum055 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Really people are only getting 30min. sessions out of these little cuties? I've had mine for about a weeks worth of time now....I've only had one bad bowl out of about 10 and all my bowls last about an hour ..with the screen and using two coals ...and I get a nice thick smoke with plenty of flavor and not to hot but not like smoking out of my KM.... Kind of makes me feel special that the Petite is being so good to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectrum055 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well it's about ready for my third coal rotation but I might just skip it and call it good time is 8:21 for when I'm calling time on it... I was doing a solo smoke ... and well about an hour and a half I'd call it around there ...but yah if you got more people then just me I'd cut the time in half or so.....IDK ....EDIT:Oh ya I used AF Coco's two at a time for both coal rotations .... Ziniteyah but for my petite tonight I used the bowl it came with ... I usually get two to three hours with my medium bowl on my KM .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
