deejmemixx Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hello all, I recently started my adventure into the world of shisha. I have picked up a hookah and some flavors of shisha and have a question about one of the flavors. I have some hydroponics Peach...which is fantastic, burns great, taste great etc. Also have some Acid Starbuzz Orange, also fantastic But I just bought some Starbuzz Queen of Sex and no matter what I do this stuff is harsh as harsh can be. Anyone else have this problem with this flavor or starbuzz shisha in general? It is not touching the foil, not being hit like crazy. If you have any suggestions please let me know, other wise its going to hit the trash. Thanks and I look forward to getting into the community.

Epoch Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 1 - Use a bit less coal if you can 2 - Make sure the bowl is packed fluffy and full (don't worry about tobacco touching the foil screen) 3 - Place the coals on the outer edge of the bowl Just a few ideas. Trial and error will get you a great smoke soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epoch Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Different tobaccos sometimes like different amounts of heat, or different packing. Every brand has its own personality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(null) [/quote]WellI am pretty sure it is a mod hookah bowl, and the coals are Starbuzz instant light. which I am sure is what I will be told to do diff. as well, but I have no way of lighting a natural coal atm.

MichaelLCP Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Some flavors can be more sensitive than others. Also yes, switch to a natural coal as soon as you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3cretz Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My .02 Take a clump of baccy and throw it in the bowl. Once its in the bowl dont fuck with it. If your unhappy with the way it looks (it should look fluffy) dump it out and try again (Do not ever fuck with it in the bowl unless its tangiers). Cover foil poke holes. Apply heat in regards to heat. Best practice (for me!) with ql is to break it into 4 quarters and put the quarters on the edge of the bowl. REMEMBER always wait until your ql is ashed over before putting it on the bowl. If it gets hars take the coals off pruge and put them back on If its still horrible take the bowl off and try again You will eventually get it right.
