Gaara Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 (edited) I left my bowl at my friend's dorm 3 hrs away from where I live so I just bought another regular bowl. But I'm having weird problems that I never had with other bowls. When I smoke with it, it's hard to inhale the smoke through the hose so I checked everything but it seemed normal. So i took the bowl and tried to blow through it but not that much air comes out. So i took off some Shisha and it worked perfectly for like 5 minutes. Then I had a hard time inhaling it. When i say that, I'm talking literally; not like Tangiers. So now, I have to blow through it (pick up the bowl & blow air through through it) every 5 puffs so I can inhale regularly. It's annoying. It's almost like the Shisha goes up gettting packed onto the foil blocking the route whenever I smoke it. Any ideas? Advice?I have a Mya Acrylic by the way.

Twang Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Is the shisha clogging the holes in the bowl? Try packing larger pieces of shisha lightly on the bottom, and sprinkle the rest on. Also try, more/larger holes in the foil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldonb1 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 i would have also said just take the little poker that comes on most tongs and poke up through the butt end of the bowl to unclog the holes... u can also just blow from the butt end.......wow that sounds really homosexual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cafesaden Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 even the more expensive bowls can have this happen. my phunnel had a piece of ceramic still in the hole just visually inspect it and use the tong poker to jam out any pieces. You should do this even if it seems like the bowl is smoking normally, better airflow is going to result in a better smoking session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherkk Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 well one solution could be to takea longer hole poking apperatus, say a toothpick and when you poke holes, poke as far as you can and try to clear apassage way to or through the holes.

Sariél Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I recently started sticking a chopstick in the center hole when filling the bowl. I tamp the tobacco down a bit, then remove the chopstick, leaving an unobstructed air passage down the center.QUOTE (cypherkk @ Mar 28 2007, 12:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>... try to clear apassage way to or through the holes.On first read I parsed this as "try to clear asparagus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
