ShellyBird87 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Just went to a hookah bar last night for the first time. Liked it, bought a small hookah. The owner gave us a new hose, said the one the hookah came with was sucky. He taught us how to pack a bowl, ( let us keep the one he packed). We got it home, set it up and started to smoke. There is NO flavor from our shisha. Please tell me what I am doing wrong. I read and read and read about how to properly pack it(not that thats the issue right now since he packed this one), about heat distribution, and about how much water needs to touch the stem. So what am I doing wrong??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joytron Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Too much heat perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyBird87 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 I am using one coal, brand exotica. That I rotated every ten minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Either heat management isn't right or you didn't pack the bowl properly (i.e. not full enough or not dense enough). Check my hookah vids link and look at my how to pack an egyptian bowl vid. Might help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShellyBird87 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Well for the last two nights, I have been the one to fill the base, light the coals, pack the bowls, and rotate the coals..... and low and behold we have had two very successful nights of hookah. Guess if I wanted it done, I should have just done it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushrat Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 when you say 1 exotica coal rotated, do you mean a segment of one or the whole stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeDave Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Lol we can ALL only hope the former. OP, glad to see you take things into your own hands. Sometimes, that's all you can do but stop the presses and say "ALRIGHT BITCHES. THIS AINT GONNA WORK. ...It's my turn to do shit." Read the quote above in Dave Chapelle's voice for the full effect of what I'm getting at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
