Snowdrifter Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've always been weary of using more than one coal since I was always under the impression that it burnt the shisha. Since joining here, I have learned that whether it burns or not has more to do with the packing of the bowl than anything else. Well, the only thing I can say is WOW. I pretty much went from a hazy smoke, to some heavy duty clouds. And the shisha had a more pronounced flavor - like I could actually taste it vs. just smelling it. I also found out that if I put a quicklight on a stove to light it and light it in the same manner as a traditional coal, it doesn't add any taste to it, at least that I could tell. Only downside is I can't smoke for as long. Not sure if it is CO or because I am that not used to nicotine(still get that 'first time head rush' every time lol). Setup is a sahara vortex bowl, some al fakher rose(really yummy by the way), 1 dodo quicklight broken in half and 1 coconara broken in half, and a cheap no-name hookah with the base filled with ice water. This is the best smoke I've had yet My friend, demonstrating for you all [img]http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa378/chance1525/Mobile%20Uploads/WP_001642.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SundayFundaysTV Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah just keep learning, we all started at this point, you just have to find that point of your best smoke, just keep experimenting till you get down that works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendetta_revived Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Glad that you're experimenting with the heat and getting better results. 2 coals is what I use mostly with AF in an egyptian bowl (mix a bit of mint in that rose and I am sure you will love it). Experimentation with packing, heat and what not is a very enjoyable part of hookah smoking for me actually. I also mix and match different flavours all the time and sometimes, I get very good results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The key to great heat management is figuring out how much you can handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
