Hookahs are used for smoking tobacco.A lot of smoke is produced by the smoke that is passed through the water basin.To learn how to set up your hookah correctly, you have to add tobacco and heat your charcoal.
Step 1: It's a good idea to clean the hookah.
If the hookah is brand new, clean it to remove any foreign flavors.The non-washable hoses need to be scrubbed with a soft brush.It is easy to clean the hookah after a smoking session.It is recommended that you clean after every fourth or fifth session.
Step 2: You can learn the terminology.
It's not hard to figure out what a hookah is.The lowest section of the hookah is used in the instructions.This can be filled with water.The main part of the hookah.The lower end has a body of water."Donuts" are Silicone or rubber.You need one of these to make a connection.Also known as a.The smoker can clear the smoke from the base with a valve.The hookah hose is connected to the shaft using a hose port.The container at the top holds hookah tobacco.The smoker can use the hose to smoke.Excess coals and ash are held in the tray below the bowl.The bowl is covered with aluminum foil to hold the hot charcoal.
Step 3: Put water in the base.
The "stem" is the lowest part of the shaft.The stem should be placed under the water with enough water.When smoke is in the air, over filling the base could cause the water to enter the hose.Ice can be added to the smoke to keep it cool.Some people like to mix the water with other liquids for different flavors.Milk and dairy products can ruin the hookah.Water should only be used in a hookah base.
Step 4: The shaft and hoses need to be connected.
Attach the top of the base with a gasket.The main shaft needs to be pushed into the gasket.The stem is under the water.To fit the hoses over the hose ports on the shaft's side, use the smaller gasket.Unless every valve is attached to a hose, hookah models will leak air.Some of them are self-sealing.
Step 5: For gaps, test it.
Place your palm over the hole at the top of the hookah shaft.inhale through one of the hosesOne of the connections is not perfect if you pull in air.If you have trouble fitting a part inside a gasket, wet it with water or a drop of dish soap.Wrap the stem with electrical tape and fit the gasket if the connection is a little loose.Wrap athletic tape around the stem if it's missing a gasket.Wrap the parts until you can fit them together.
Step 6: The shisha should be stirred.
You can choose any flavor of shisha or tobacco.If you want to bring the syrup back up from the bottom, mix it together.
Step 7: Break it apart.
Take a small pinch of shisha and break it apart with your fingers.Cut the stems into pieces if you see them.Continue until you have enough to fill the bowl.
Step 8: The shisha should be put into the bowl.
Air can flow through it if it's loose.Tobacco forms an even layer below the rim of the bowl.It will stick to the aluminum foil if it's stacked too high.If a few pieces are sticking up too high, gently knock them down with a damp paper towel.You should learn the process of smoking tobacco-free hookah molasses.It is less likely to burn.Smoking shisha without nicotine may be better for beginners.
Step 9: Put the bowl down.
A homemade foil cover may be more reliable than a hookah bowl screen.Wrap aluminum foil tightly around the bowl.To punch holes in foil, use a paper clip or needle.Try a circle of holes near the rim.More holes mean more smoke.Start with 15 holes.If you want more smoke, you can add more holes.Some people prefer 100 holes.The holes should be small to avoid letting in ash.
Step 10: The hookah needs to be assembled.
Attach the ash tray to the hookah shaft.Attach the bowl over the top hole.
Step 11: You can choose your charcoal.
There are two different types of hookah charcoal, each with a different benefit.They can leave a chemical taste or cause a headaches.It takes about ten minutes on an electric coil stove to heat up natural charcoal.Coconut shell and lemon wood charcoal are popular.
Step 12: Light a couple of coals.
You may need to experiment with bowl and coal sizes.If you want to adjust, try two or three coals.Quick light: Hold the coal with tongs over a nonflammable area.Hold it in a lighter or match flame until it stops smoking.Wait until the entire piece is covered with light grey ash and then remove the flame.If necessary, blow on it and it will glow orange.Coal can be placed directly in the flame of a gas stove.Leave the heat for 8 minutes.The ash layer is optional and it should be glowing orange.Do not put coal in the gas line or on a glass top stove.
Step 13: The coal should be placed on the bowl.
To transfer hot coals to the foil or screen on top of the hookah bowl, use your coal tongs.The coals should be arranged evenly around the rim of the bowl.If you are certain you need more heat, leave the center clear.It's important to keep an eye out for sagging foil.You do not want the coal to touch the tobacco.
Step 14: The bowl should warm up.
Many people are waiting for the first pull.Some people start smoking.It is possible that both methods will change the flavor of the smoke.The exception are the hookahs and types of charcoal that take 10 to 30 minutes to warm up.
Step 15: Inhale slowly.
Smoke can be drawn in by inhaling through a hose.There is no need to get as much smoke as possible.Trust that more will build up as you go on, even if your first pull is low.Since your breath is drawing hot air through the bowl, it's a good idea to pull hard or often.A bowl with 20g of shisha tobacco can last over an hour.
