Johnny_D Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 QUOTE (rootdown)less heat gets to the tobacco so it doesnt BURN BUT... I find that it does not get enough heat with double Foil. Single layer of foil is all i've used and it's all i've ever needed. Good Luck! JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpimpitox Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 i double foil depending on the foil itself. if its thinner foil then id double up. if i use heavy duty then i dont. works out perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumare Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thats right, thin foil = doubled and heavy duty foil just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pboyle Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 i've tried doubling up doesn't make it any better. just keeps the heat out. reynolds wrap is where its at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookah Man Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 with baccos like tangiers which need less heat, i would try double foil. also if your a newbie in the smoking field 2 layers will be easier because your taking in more oxygen, and it also burns less tobbaco. it does make the bowl last a long time, but its doubtful ur gonna be smoking too many coals or else you would know alot more about hookah shit. my friends do double, even tripple tin foil to make it easier. i only use double for tangiers so it gets less heat, but nethign else ill just use 1 coal. hope u have a good smoke man.

Hookah Master Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 IMO Double wrapping is pretty useless.... 1) it makes it MUCH harder to pull through 2) most of time doesnt get the shisha enough heat causing in small smoke clouds 3) takes longer to heat up I use warp my bowl with single layer everytime. hope this helps.

Macho555 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well...I don't know about harder to pull through, but... Yeah, I tried it once, and even with tangiers, its just unessacary. If its heat your worried about, that I'd just go ahead and use less coal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPR234 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I use double foil all the time. The reason I do it is because I use whole quicklights at a time, which is usually too much heat. I cant break a coal into separate pieces and still have anything usefull to save my life. The double layer of foil works really well for correcting my problem of using way too much heat.
