Hookah Q's?
Trying again...
I'm rather new to the Hookah craze and broke down and bought one today. I think it will be pretty fun and enjoyable to have one for this summer's BBQ's and parties.
I've only smoked out of my friends so I don't know much on how to "work" them.. I have the coals and tobacco... so can someone in detail please explain how to properly use it?
Also, the guy who sold it to me told me to try different things instead of water like Kool-Aid and such. Has anyone tried this? Is it ok, and what are some other things that are fun to use?
Any tips would be pretty nifty.. tips, how to use, best tobacco, ect... Thanks
Setting Up Your Hookah
1.Place a base protector or cloth of some kind under your hookah base. This is to prevent slipping or tipping of the hookah, and also to disperse condensation if you use ice.
2.Fill the base with water or your own mix. You want to fill it to the point the downstem of the shaft is submerged by 1” to 1.5”.
3.Attach the rubber grommet that goes between the base and the shaft, and attach it to the shaft.
4.Insert the shaft into the base making sure the downstem is submerged properly and that the fit is snug and airtight.
5.Place the Charcoal Tray on top of the shaft.
6.Insert the Grommet goes between the shaft and the bowl, into the base of the bowl. *Note – Some Mod bowls are designed without the need for a grommet.
7.Attach the bowl to the shaft, making sure it is attached snuggly and airtight.
8.Now insert a grommet into the stem for the hose. For multi hose hookahs be sure to attach insert grommets for each hose and plugs if you are not using all the hoses.
9.You can test the hookah for air leaks at this point. Place your hand over the top of the bowl and smoke. You should hear the bubbles and feel the air coming in through the bowl. Then you will know the hookah is airtight. Once you are familiar with your hookah you will be able skip this test.
10.Now lightly sprinkle your Shisha Tobacco in the bowl until it’s even with the top of the bowl. Do not overfill the bowl or pack it tightly. This will cause improper air flow and result in a bad smoke. Now place the screen or foil1 on top of the smoke. Do not use normal tobacco. It will not burn properly and result in a bad smoke.
11.For quick light coals: Pick up your first coal with a pair of tongs and light it with a butane lighter. Butane lighters ignite the coals quicker. It will start crackling and sparking. Do this over the tray on top of the stem. Place the coal back on the tray and light another one if needed for your hookah setup. For stove top coals: Place coals needed on the burner of your electric stove until glowing red. Place coals in charcoal holder using your tongs, and transport to hookah and place on top of the bowl.
12.Now place the coals on top of the screen or foil1 using your tongs. Now place a wind cover2 over the bowl. Give your hookah a few good puffs. The hookah may take several minutes to get started, so be patient.
Some Tips
Squeeze some fresh Lemon or Lime Juice on the tobacco for thick smooth smoke with a citrus hint.
Mix food coloring or juice in the water for cool coloring effect.
To add a minty flavor without mint tobacco just put a little Listerine or Metromint Water into the base for a nice mint flavor.
