Having Trouble Getting King Moassel To Smoke Thick

[rez]

i read the reviews and everyone said they got thick smoke with this shisha.

current setup:
20" hookah
ice + water
2 layers of foil
20 holes with tookpick in random order
1.5 3kings coals

any suggestions

dont put ice and heavy coating on the hooka (foil) put LESS WATER but leave the rest of the setup as regular as you can... one coal and one foil with rendom but very very small hole's that sholud do the job... "O" ya put a good amount of tobbaco...really fill the head..

I'd personally go with more holes and more coals. More holes mean more airflow, which helps get that tobacco heated up. Also in the same boat, more coals get the tobacco going faster. Just put a lot of evenly spaced holes, and try using 1.5x 3kings coals. Just break them up into smaller sections and place those evenly around the perimeter of the bowl.

A lot of the time putting the coals in the center of the bowl will cut your session if half. I always start with my coals on the outside, and then as the session starts to wind down, I rotate them inwards until they are all in the center of the bowl, concentrating all my remaining heat on whats left of the tobacco..

This is just what works for me. When I'm not getting a lot of smoke, these are the things I play with.

Yeah thats really all there is to smoking hookah. If you aren't getting a lot of smoke, add more heat. If your bowl is burning and is too harsh, take some heat off. After a bit of practice, you'll be able to switch between brands of tobacco without ever having any problems with your heat managment.

i think that you sohold play with the coal and move it around from the outside to the center... i still think that you need only one coal and small hole's...the secrest is puting a good amount of tobbaco combind with shuffeld heat... it works for me.. if you still having problems maybe your hooka has a "air leak"

i agree with yashman, def add more coal, and probably a few more holes.

Ice shouldn't keep the smoke from getting thick, just try messing with the actual tobacco in the bowl sometimes it can be finiky or however you spell it,
but the shisha isn't burning up before you get the smoke, right?

btw, how far up the stem is your water? Edited March 6, 2007 by kornkitten42

Never really got massively thick smoke off of King Moassel.

Just make sure to stir it very well because the juice gravitates toward the bottom of the shisha jar.

i got the tobacco from the bottom of the jar

also after my session when i took off the foil all the tobacco was burnt, but it was never harsh during my session.

thats actually a good thing. i consider it a really successful bowl if when i go to clean it, all the shisha is burned dry and stuck together so i can just knock it off the screen into the trash.
