What Are The Most Common Simple Questions?

[EvansLight]

I had a project I had started a while back, during one of my random active periods, and I wanted to go ahead and kick it back off. Put simply its a troubleshooting guide for new smokers. It can be a way for people to figure out there own problems, not because we don't like helping, just because I know I love the feeling of figuring it out myself

So here is my question, what are to you, the most common simple questions? And what are the answers you would give? I want this guide to be fairly robust. I don't want to go over every single possible problem, as that would be war and peace sized i think. But just the basic most common problems.

Now I don't mean "What tobacco/coals/hookah should I get?" but common problems that are constantly asked and usually have simple answers, like "I have little to no smoke" or "There is no flavor".

So, what are the most common simple questions?

"How do I get more smoke/flavor?"
"My tobacco burns to easily!"

Token answer from me is always "more tobacco in your bowl". Most new people usually under-pack their bowls, afraid of the tobacco being too close to the foil. I was the same way for a long time. Edited April 29, 2011 by Epoch

I want to get the guide fairly non specific. I know its a common question, but I don't want to get into individual brands for it. Just basic hookah problems. Thanks though

Both of those are more just a general guide, then troubleshooting, and are already covered for the most part, thanks though

Why isn't my hookah bubbling?
i cant purge my hookah?
How much water do i put in the base?

[r1v3th3ad]

shiny side up or down lol


whats the difference between natural coals and quicklights aside from how they light


what are the benefits of a phunnel bowl/what is the difference in using these bowls compared to a standard or vortex bowl


what the fuck is a flip and why hasn't someone smacked the guy for making it yet
why does the flip look like it is something that Edward Enigma would have for a hookah


whats the difference with ice in the vase - ice hose - ice catcher tray/ is it worth it


flavored bases in vases useful?


I love hookah hookah and epic smoke, but is the flavor supposed to last 15 minutes? this could get pricey
