Wandering Jew Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I had no problem in the summer but lately I just can't get it to smoke well. I do 3 rings of holes and a bigger hole over the phunnel. I use 3 coco naras. I have no problem getting my standard clay bowl going, doing random holes and 2 coconaras. Any tips? What am i doing wrong? I'm smoking out of a 35 inch egyptian hookah with a nammor hose. Note. It's a small phunnel bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RingsMaster Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 could be that you dont have enough holes try doing a ton of very little ones even over the actual phunnel. this is what i do and i blow billows. mess around with it and make sure your putting enough tobacco in it.

If you need to, make a little stick out of foil and put it across the hole like a bridge, then put the foil on. Its easier than making a scalli for it.

fineout Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 shisha touching foil is totally ok, this needs to be told to people more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indian_villager Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Make a smaller hole over the phunnel or just leave it out all together....I only use the center hole for tangiers and naklah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 i'm starting to think that it's better WHEN the tobacco touches the foil. that means that it's almost in direct contact with the coals which means better head conductivity. the air pocket between the foil and the tobacco probably kills the heat distribution...

Codename067 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Something is wrong with the way you are packing, if I had to guess. Pack a bit more tobacco than usual, and see i that works for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
