lucky13 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 ok once again i need some tips, i tried cutting my coco's in half, i think my heating issue was that i wasnt rotating the coals enough.. so cutting them in half only decreased my smoke sessions time period. I dont need tips on heating right now, but i do need tips on smoke. I've been smoking hookah for probably 7 months now and i am yet to get those big thick flavor full clouds that i've seen pictures of or seen in videos of. anyone wanna push me some tips or help me out, id really like to be able to get this down, im goin nuts, i know im still learning and all but all my friends wanna smoke hookah with me and i dont wanna smoke with them until i get my shit straight. (p.s) anyone know where i can find the thread on how to pack a phunel bowl? i had trouble with mine the last time i used it.

ryno Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 One thing I've noticed that effects cloud size is how you inhale. I know some people inhale like they do cigs, meaning after you are done hitting the hookah you suck in more air. That will kill clouds. Its all about how you blow out the cloud, the slower, the bigger it will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smoke with my friends and there is a huge difference between the clouds that we get and the only difference is the way I inhale/exhale. As far as packing a funnel goes I like the tight pack myself with everything anymore. I tend to only smoke moist tobacco out of my funnel bowls and use an Egyptian for things like Nakhla. The whole point of the funnel design is to prevent the juices from wet tobaccos from dripping down your stem and with the juices staying in the head it lends itself to a more flavorful along with a more lengthy smoke. The only possible downside with the tight pack is that after smoking for a while you need to replenish the top half of the bowl from time to time or just change flavors period. The bottom half never really smokes that well but if you are smoking Tangiers the top half of the bowl is going to last you quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSU Smoker Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 id agree with ryno as well...from experience I can get monster clouds like that then off the next puff suck in a little extra air afterwards or not completely close my lips around the hose and get weak ass clouds. To blow it out [i]slowly[/i] [i]exhale[/i] mostly letting the smoke ball up in your mouth and push it out from there, also realize pushing the smoke out to slow will lead to small clouds...thick, but small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
