rez Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Packed a bowl of AF Strawberry almost to the top of the bowl.Used 3 pieces of thin foilUsed a fork and made the following holes .... ::::: ::::: ....(you get the idea)I used 2 3k coals cut in half. Placed one quarter in each corner of the bowl.After about 10min of getting no smoke i pushed the coals closer to the center and finally got some smoke comming out of the hookah. After about 2 min of good smoke it became very harsh. When i put the coals on the edge i would get very thin smoke but it would not be harsh. When i brought them to the middle i got very thick smoke but it was very harsh.Lets just say that i was not very happy last night with my hookah./rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaara Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Instead of using multiple layers of foil, I just make a "ring" and put one piece of foil on top of it. Like in this video;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsXjr1Uc6yYDon't know why you're using 2 coals at the same time anyways. I usually just put one in half and when that dies down, I add another coal broken in half. Always works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always works.i tried that once, it didnt work for me.i start out with one coal broken in half. after 5min no smoke i add another half. etc. i keep adding and removing halfs until i get it the way i want. it usually works but last night was just horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erica Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well The grip of foil your using might have something to do with it... and the way you packed the bowl.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After i was done poking holes i put my hand over the top of the bowl and blew from the bottom. I felt the air hit my hand so i knew i had good airflow through my bowl.
