triggaman Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Hello guys, I recently smoked hookah at my friends house, which he got from overseas. All I can say is wow... It smokes so amazing. We had Hookah Hookah tobacco (Pina Colada, Pineapple, and Lemonade) and let me tell you it was amazing. The smoke was like mist, it was very thick yet it was cool smoke, not harsh at all, like when you would breathe it out it was cool on your face, it was really nice. Also when you inhale the smoke you could taste the sweetness going in, it was the best hookah experience I have ever had. I believe the type of hookah he had (from the looks of it) was a syrian hookah. But wow, it was amazing, there was just water in the base as well, no ice. So my question is, was it the actual tobacco that caused it to be like that or was it the hookah? I have a Mya Acrylic and though it smokes well, it was nothing compared to that.

Pieces Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Different hookahs smoke differently. There are a lot of factors ranging from small things like packing the bowl and coal management, to the quality of the pipe and tobacco, to how much water is in the base. You could use the same hookah twice and get different smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggaman Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 The thing is all we did was put a foil on and a three kings coal. I have smoked several times out of his hookah and it is always like that, its so much nicer because the smoke is smooth and its cooling, and full flavor.

emmpeethree Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 there are so many factors that lead to good/bad experience. i personally dont think the hookah itself will make much of a difference so long as its got a propre seal. basically its just a big hose that runs through some water. yes, some have better flow that others, but that doesnt nessesarily equate to better smoke. i would definately say that your tabacco and how you position it is more important than the hookah itself. i've been slowly learning that when it comes to tabacco, less is more. you are less liklely to burn the tabacco and more of it is used than if you pack it and the top is singed and the bottom is untouched.

triggaman Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yeah... You are so right. Everytime I have packed a bowl all the way to the top, I always get that nasty coal aftertaste... I learned when packing it less, you get so much more flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAHkoo Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 QUOTE (triggaman)Yeah... You are so right. Everytime I have packed a bowl all the way to the top, I always get that nasty coal aftertaste... I learned when packing it less, you get so much more flavor. well. you can still pack a lot, but what i have noticed is that if you pack just enough so the foil doesn't touch the tobacco, you get a much more flavorful and thick smoke session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 See, here's the catch. You have to experiment and play around with it. Different people pack bowls and tend coals completely differently, it might work for some, but not for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauldavis Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 i have found that taller hookahs can smoke better longer i owe this to owning a QT and a 30" MYA and the big one will stay nicer longer...the QT's stem gets too hot and i feel like that affects the smoke...

Sayishere Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 The mya acrylic is nice, think its not that hookah itself, probably other factors (heat mangement) packing bowl etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
