king_lunchb0x Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 so i just got my free acrylic mini mya http://www.hookah-shisha.com/p-2330-mini-mya-clearance-hookah.html and well i just frustrated with it, i should have spent the money on a better 2 hoser. I really could use some help with it, the smoke i am getting is super harsh and burns the back of my throat badd. I tried some lucid tang and some AL Waha in my mini alien phunnel and both burned like hell. is the smoke always ganna be this harsh from this pipe, i was considering getting a new base but unsure which will fit a mini mya stem any help would be greatful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 It's not your hookah, brotha. Tell us what you're doing heat management and packing-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I had one smoked like a champ I thought...I got a small green egyptain base that might fit its yours if you want let me see if I can find out what size it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 The base is a small I got it years ago from hookah shisha actually ,on the nile egyptian hookah...the paint is pretty much all worn off, but with a good cleaning would be better then the acrilic if its the right size....8.5 inches tall ......and a 1 and 3/8 inch opening...been collecting dust for years be nice to see it put to use...

king_lunchb0x Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) alrighty so i am doing my normal bowl packing on my mini alien, which i get great smooth and big smoke when i use my KM, I was only using 2 CH NAt-coals and it was still burning even when i dropped to one coal, i filled up with water and 3- super small cubes of ice up to about the second rib line. could it be that not enough water for the smoke to filter through? Also Twoapples a friend gave me a Egyptian bell base that seems to be a bit bigger then yours but i think will fit if i can find a good grommet. thanks though Edited June 26, 2010 by king_lunchb0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 This is gonna sound funny but try on yer alien,,,to poke 5-6 toothpick size holes only directly over the center hole around the outside of it, not dead center..no holes over the tobacco,....I tried this last night and it was the best smoke I ever had from a phunnel...super clean taste great clouds very very smooth....

twoapplesplease Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm actually doing a second round on that bowl right now.....I mixed some tangiers with the last bit of turkish moassel I had left (it takes simialer heat) first round I used 4 coco cubes (I overpack the alien to about 30g super dense) second round 3 of the old shape coco's windcover right from the start.......Great thing with this method the smoke is super clean less of a coal taste ash never gets in the tobacco...smokes awsome...I highly recomend a go with that hole pattern.... I'll snap a pic and load too show what it looks like right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoapplesplease Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I think the next time I'll drop the one dead center hole maybee add one to the outer rim of the spire with the others......anyway I love how it smokes IMO beats out the standard phunnel hole pattern in how it smokes.............Not sure if you can tell from the photo but the bowl is mounded a bit..there is a good bit of densly packed tobacco in there.....I use what I call the table press method on tang to get it super super tight only way it seems to smoke good for me....

weddit Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 My brother just got the same free hookah from H-S, and I'm smoking out of it right now. It took a few tries to get a good smoke out of it, but I'm smoking out of this very moment and it's all-around a very nice, simple hookah. I'm using the bowl that came with it, along with some tangiers, and I'm having very minimal issues with burning. What you may want to try is using one regular coal and another one cut in half. This may not be enough heat for the alien bowl, but it works great for the setup I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
