SaintPendulous Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 its probubly the same effect as those fancy japanese grills where their always hittin the grill with their spatulas, no actual purpose but it looks and sounds fuckin cool!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agunn1231 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 when i worked at the lounge my crazy boss told me in his broken english "Hit eet to make ze smoke better" i think he meant hit the bowl to shake up the shisha inside. but i have noticed no effect between doing that and not doing that. however blowing the bowl out between coal rounds has had a noticable effect for me.

antouwan Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 do they hold the coals in the tongs while they do it? i do that somewhat frequently to get extra ash off of my coals because i don't want to blow it all over my living room floor....that's all that comes to mind though.

tjmitch Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 Sorry I've been out of town for the last few days but no he doesn't hold the coals while he is doing it. I guess I could just ask him next time I'm in there. His name is magic and he's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Uh, I always make my shisha touch my foil. On purpose(ish). I'm gonna have to go with the Bullshit flair move, like the Japanese grills. Just taaaaap it in. Just tap it. Tap tap tapparoo.
