squidget Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I was at a hookah bar last week and before settings coals upon, they gave me the bowl for a whiff and I noticed the bowl itself was warm. The second thing I noticed was after they placed bowl on the hookah and the coals on the bowl, I had insta-clouds on the first draw. Any ideas how this was achieved? Microwave before foil? Special bowl keep warm device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) Hot kitchen area? how warm was the bowl? Some people have mentioned putting the bowl in the oven while setting everything else up. Seems like a lot of trouble to me. That's cool about letting you smell the bowl, kind of like smlling the cork from a bottle of wine. Seema like a classy lounge.

I could hold it in my hand for awhile but eventually I would need to put this down to prevent pain. Yeah, probably my 2nd best lounge experience. They used natural (wood) coals and the guy was on top of coal replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Probably the bowls are lined up next to the burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gramps Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I routinely preheat glass jars before pouring wax in them. I turn the oven temp to its lowest setting and once that temp is reached, I turn the oven off and put the jars in. They come out just shy of being too hot to touch, maybe 140 degress or so. When I get home this weekend I may try it with one of my hookah bowls and let y'all know how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 they could have had the coals on the hookah before they brough it out yet warming it out i know some lounges do that or pre smoke the bowl for you see if it tastes right and smokes ok i always do a couple draws before i get the hookah out at the lounge make sure it works right and smokes good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antouwan Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 maybe somebody else was using it previously and they cleaned/repacked while it was still pretty warm (?) i know at home when i do back-to-back sessions and i clean the bowl out quickly it retains quite a bit of heat.

I will only heat tobacco if I left my tobacco in the car during the winter. If its hard to mix and tobaccco not at room temp, then I throw my jar in the microwave for a few seconds to get it to room temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Could just be that they just used that bowl, cleaned it, and repacked it. My bowls retain the heat for a while, they warm but not overly hot, makes the warm up process much faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
