Tips For Smoking Hookah

Smoking Hookah has gained popularity worldwide, especially in the UK. My friends and I do a lot of fun things at parties every time. One of the things we love is smoking hookah, enjoying the flavors and aromas of various tobacco blends every time. We engage in conversation while appreciating the rich traditions of this ancient custom. But if you are a newbie, you may want to read the following Tips For Smoking Hookah, which may better help you smoke shisha

The Importance of Proper Hydration While Smoking Hookah

First, eating some fruits while smoking shisha can help you stay hydrated. Because when you smoke hookah, the nicotine in it will dehydrate you, and the water in the fruit can rehydrate you. At the same time, the fresh taste of fruits can also purify the mouth and better feel the aroma of tobacco. My favorite among them is dragon fruit. I really like its fruit aroma, so I hope you can try it. In addition, drinking sugary soda or soda with lemon wedges is also a good choice, which can cleanse your taste buds.

How can I make my hookah hit better?

Choose your favorite shisha flavor
Choose your favorite flavor, mix an appropriate amount with tobacco, loosen it with your fingers, and put it into the bowl. Be careful not to fill it too solidly and leave holes for ventilation.

For this reason, we tested two flavors: citrus + passion fruit and lime + lychee. They have a rich taste and can create enough smoke even with just the sauce. If you use the sauce alone, you need to preheat it for 8-12 minutes; after mixing it with tobacco, you can preheat it for 5-6 minutes, so the preheating time is also very important.

Choose high-quality natural charcoal
Secondly, choose natural coconut shell charcoal and do not buy fast-burning charcoal containing gunpowder ingredients, which can cause side effects such as headaches. High-quality charcoal produces purer smoke.

Carefully prepared tobacco

When preparing the tobacco, make sure the tobacco fully contacts the aluminum foil. Use your fingers to gently turn the cut tobacco to fit the cigarette cup’s inner wall. Adding external tobacco leaves can achieve sufficient density without being overly choked.

Control the amount of water

The amount of water is also critical, too much will choke people, and too little will not filter. When filling water, you can use your thumb to measure it. It is advisable to place your thumb inside the pipe so that your finger knuckles reach the water surface.

Preheat

After lighting the charcoal, it is best to wait 10-15 minutes for the surface to become fully red before starting to smoke. Proper toasting can increase the heat of the charcoal and achieve a longer-lasting mellow tobacco flavor.

Hookah Coal Management Tips

First, based on the size of the bowl, pre-plan the arrangement pattern of the coals. I generally recommend using 3 pieces of shisha coal in a triangle, which allows for even heat distribution. Remember to promptly remove any small broken pieces, otherwise it may affect the taste.

Secondly, adjusting the distance between the coals and the center can control the heat level. The closer to the center, the greater the heat. Be sure to keep an adequate gap, but also keep in mind that every 1-2 mm of change will lead to significant differences in heat.

Additionally, if the bottom of the coal turns black, turn it sideways rather than flipping it upside down to continue using it, which can re-ignite it. Also, rotate the coals periodically, using the fresher areas, to ensure optimal flavor.

Choosing the right hookah vase can help you produce more smoke

Choosing the Right Glass Hookah Set and Accessories can help you produce even better smoke clouds. Choosing a larger hookah vase can generate more smoke and make the smoking process smoother. Also, high-quality hookahs with very tight seals between parts will be more durable and last longer.

Tips for Packing the Bowl

Tips For Smoking Hookah

In addition, the packing density of hookah tobacco has a major impact on flavor and smoking experience. Here are the most common ones

Fluffy pack: Loosely pour tobacco into the bowl and let gravity do the work, do not compact the leaves. This pack needs more heat management but produces more robust flavors.

Normal pack: Follow the fluffy pack then gently press the tobacco surface about 25% to make the leaves have tighter contact. This helps the molasses and glycerin burn more evenly.

Semi-dense pack: Use more tobacco than normal pack, compact not only the surface but also the middle and bottom leaves to minimize air gaps. This can prolong sessions and reduce heat management.

Dense pack: Continue compacting leaves until air gaps are eliminated. Be careful not to overpack. Leaves need uniform tight contact. This requires precise heat control but optimal flavor and duration.

Of the above packing techniques, I recommend the Semi-dense pack more, although if you are a beginner, mastering just the Normal pack is enough.

This is because the Normal pack is relatively simple. You just need to gently press down the surface of the tobacco after doing a fluffy pack. This can form a relatively uniform head and also mix and burn the tobacco flavorings quite well, giving a balanced taste.

Finally, you don’t need to pump too fast. Inhale slowly and deeply into your lungs, and then exhale slowly. This can get more smoke and is more conducive to the taste experience.

Hopefully, these tips will help everyone have a better hookah smoking experience. If you have more hookah tips, please tell me in the comment area and I will add them to my blog.
