shisha Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 i think $94 for all that is a good deal, but you have only had that one for one week so maybe do some more experimenting and u might get it..i dont think they would charge that much for a hookah that doesnt smoke very well.

GordonMac Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Is there such thing as a "too advanced hookah" relative to the smoker? And Can hookahs even be returned after being used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) yes, there is such a thing as "too advanced hookah" for some users, but im sure you can find some tips and tricks here that will help you with about any set-up. as for returning, probably not after use since there would be no way for the retailer to ensure it was used for the correct substance.

GordonMac Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Alright I'll keep on trying my baby 3 hoser. Cafesden... you are a wiseman and i will take your word for smoking hookahs cheap stuff. I guess if its that cheap there is a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 There is no reason why you shouldn't get a GREAT smoke out of the hookah you own. Hookahs are very, very uncomplicated machines. Even crappy hookahs (like the Pumpkin everyone freaks out about) can be made to smoke well. No offense, but 99% of the time it's operator error. And I mean no offense, because I've been where you are bud. Keep trying and I'm sure you will get some good results eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahir Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Looks like you need more tobacco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 yeah, pack it up so the foil just barely touches the top of the shisha but doesnt press it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allia22 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Bleh, try foil XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahuwood Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 yeah, i agree with the more tobacco and use foil comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioannisds Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 More tobacco. Dump the screen, and go with foil. And those Diamante quicklights... Their finger coals are good, but I've heard those quicklights SUCK. Also, you mention that your flavor is dull. Please realize that smoking a hookah does not have the same flavor experience as, say, eating a Starburst. Your expectations may be too high. Those lovely pictures of ripe red fruit on the boxes of the tobacco are not really representative of the quantity of fruity (or other) taste you will get. Some tobacco brands have a more pronounced flavor to them, but most of the time it can be quite subtle, and it's never a super fruity candy taste like some people expect. Maybe you are doing everything right, and just don't really like hookah as much as you thought you might... Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonMac Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Perhaps... When i smoked hookah with my friends in the summer however, it tasted better and seemed more enjoyable. You say the quickcoal sucks, how do natural coals work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say the quickcoal sucks, how do natural coals work?All hookah and hookah related things are always better in good company.. but pack that bowl better... and the screen is fine but foil is good too. its preference and i use the diamente quick lites as well... break it into 3 peices.. spread em on the edges of the bowl. put a little milk or juice in the water. and dont expect wonders right away. let it heat up for 1 - 2 min then do fast puffs to get it smoldering then go to town on it. but one coal deal on like that dosnt work. keep up the effort! post more pics... the more pics you post in action the more we can help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are excellent quicklights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 as everyone else said, add more shisha to the bowl, make sure your water lvl isnt too high, that can make smokeing difficult. what brand of tobbaco do you have? because your friend might have had a different brand that tasted better if you are compairing 2 of the same flavours.
