If you're a hookah lover, you know that the key to a great smoking experience is all in the preparation. That's why it's important to take the time to remove the hookah flavor from the packaging and mix it with a fork until it's nice and fluffy. This helps to distribute the tobacco juices evenly, ensuring that your smoke is packed with flavor. It also helps to prevent uneven heat distribution, which can cause problems when you're trying to enjoy your hookah. So next time you're getting ready to smoke, make sure you take the time to properly prepare your tobacco. It'll make all the difference in your smoking experience.
Now that you have your clay hookah bowl and the perfect amount of tobacco, it's time to start packing it. Gently grab around 15-20 grams of tobacco and position it in a mountain formation in the bowl.
When packing your shisha, it's important to get the tobacco evenly distributed. Take a toothpick and lightly press the tobacco down so that it's about two millimeters below the rim of the bowl. This will help ensure that all of the tobacco gets smoked, and that you get good airflow through the bowl.
Poking down the shisha in the center of the bowl with a toothpick will help form a hole that allows for better airflow. If the tobacco is too dense, you won't get enough airflow and it won't cook evenly. Making a light swirling motion should create an even density throughout the bowl. This will help ensure that your tobacco cooks evenly and gives you a better smoking experience.
Start with taking some foil and pulling it out to about four to five inches. Rip it off, keeping the whole sheet intact. Next, fold that piece in half - this is known as the double-layer foil. It is important to keep the foil as clean and wrinkle-free as possible. Then, put the foil over the bowl as tightly as possible, making sure it's drum-tight. If the foil has any bends or rips, it will create resistance and make it harder to pull the smoke through. Finally, poke some small holes in the top of the foil - about twelve should do the trick. And that's it! You're ready to enjoy your clay hookah bowl.
Now that your bowl is packed and ready to go, it's time to turn our attention to the coals. Getting the perfect amount of heat is essential for a great hookah session, so it's important to take your time and get it right. There is a method for heating up your coals.
