How To Get More Smoke Out Of A Hookah |
|
Getting the most smoke out of a hookah is an important hookah smoking skill. To understand how to get the most smoke let's examine each factor that plays a role in the amount of hookah smoke and analyze them. |
| |
| |
|
The Hookah Flavour Brand |
|
The hookah flavor is the most important factor in determining the amount of smoke. The Afzal flavors produce the most smoke. This is not to mistake that the flavor alone can produce great smoke. The hookah stilt needs to be prepared correctly. You can also try our new SOEX flavor |

|
The Hookah Itself |
|
The way the hookah is shaped and made can play a key role in the amount of smoke.
Vase: A large hookah vase allows more smoke stored in it and therefore more smoke can be drawn from the hose.
Stem: At the same time you would want a not so long hookah stem. The shorter the stem the easier it is to suck the smoke down from the hookah bowl. So with the same effort you can enjoy a larger amount of smoke.
Hose: A long hose has the same effect as a long stem as it would require more energy to get the same amount of smoke. SO try to find a shorter hose to allow more and easier smoke.
Also make sure there is not too much water In the base. The air space left in the base (the space not filled with water) is the space that allows the cool smoke to store which Is what you smoke at every puff. So filling the base with too much water will reduce the smoke storage space and result in less amount of smoke. |

Packing The Flavor Right |
|
It is essential to pack the flavor correctly in the bowl. Flavor should not be packed hard. In other words don't push the flavor or over pack it when preparing the bowl. A dense packing will not allow good air flow into the flavor and therefore it will not allow the entire flavor to burn evenly (or burn at all). So sprinkle the flavor In the bowl to leave enough room for good air flow. |

| |
The Holes On The Aluminium Foil
|
Both the number of holes and size of them can affect the amount of smoke coming out of a hookah.
Too few holes don't allow enough oxygen to pass through the foil to allow the burning of the flavor (and getting smoke). Also, too many holes will let too much oxygen to pass through the foil and will result fast burning. |
| |
| |
How Many Holes Is The Right Number?
|
That depends a lot on the size of bowl that you are using. Smaller bowls would need fewer holes. But as a rule of thumb one hole in the center and 3 or 4 circles around it is good.
Large holes will let too much oxygen in and small holes do just opposite. A good size is the size of the tip of a toothpick.
Assuming you are putting the holes on the aluminum foil after putting it on the bowl as supposed to using pre-made hookah foil with holes already in them.
When poking the holes push your toothpick all the way so that it creates a pathway in the flavor. This will allow better passage of oxygen through the entire flavor ensuring the top flavor bum at the same time as the bottom flavor.

Try to experiment with the
hookah |
There are many methods that can be used to enhance the hookah smoking experience. Following are the most popular methods. |
Add Ice To The Water |
-
Always put ice In the
water. It enhances
the smoke and make it
cooler and smoother.
-
This
is in the most useful
trick. If you don't have
ice cubes, simply use
cold water.
-
The
job of the water in the
hookah base is to cool
down the smoke, so a
cold water would do a
better job.
|
Add Fruit to The Base |
-
Adding fruit to the
hookah base can give
more flavor and smell to
your hookah. Usually put
fruits witt! similar
flavor to the hookah
tobacco being used.
-
To
get a better flavor and smell add some
lemon, or lime, or
berries to the water in
the base of the hookah.
This (especially lime)
makes a big difference.
