southernhookin Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hello-- I am trying to get my technique down. One issue I have all the time is that around maybe 30 min into smoke session I sense problems....taste not as good, something wrong..and so when I peel back the foil to check if maybe the tobacco is all used up I see that there is burnt black tobacco on the inside of foil. So, I have tried picking it off the foil, not easy to do and messes up my holes, and just replacing the foil. I m using quick lites. usually the bowl I have is just the regular looking one...sorry can't do better on name of bowl. I have tried all variations of holes, amount of heat, distribution of coals on foil, keeping the foil as clean of ashes as I can.... never used anything but quicklites. Any suggestions would really make my ....evening! lol. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 well maybe try using half a quicklight or cut it in half and put it on opposite sides? it sounds like too much heat possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBlue Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I think it's pretty regular that the shisha sticks to the foil. I've had the problem with bad taste after about 30 min in as well. Last week switched to natural coals. SO much better! QL dont cut it any more. Naturals last longer and always taste good. And instead of flavour getting bad, it simply starts getting weaker and weaker as the bowls dies down. Try naturals, maybe that'll help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernhookin Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 OK! Just sat down with .... coco's.... 2 pieces on each end, kinda way off to the ends....so far ok. Just going to monitor the heat better. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah, tobacco sticking is normal. It's just your heat. Sounds like you got it now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Shisha all over the foil is a good thing in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawhee Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 also with qls you gotta be careful. They pump out quite a bit of heat, with regular sized qls try 3/4 in a radiocativity sign shape maybe or two halves on opposite ends, at least 2cm apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
