Know Your Coals

So I burned a nice bowl of shisha yesterday.”Right off the bat”. Firstly, I’m smoking with some brand new bowls I recieved to try that have a very small diameter. Normaly¬† I smoke with a larger bowl, so I put on a coal and a half since I like strong smoke, 3 half pieces.I guess the small bowl couldn’t take all that heat. It is a super small diameter bowl.

Also, I have on hand “Nakhla” quick-lite, “Pegasus” quickLite and “Soex Quik-Lite

 and each one gives off a different level of heat. So it needs playing around with. One thing, I never tamp down the tobacco in the bowl so the air  can circulate well and if I did, for sure it would burn,nor do I put the shisha too high so that it would touch the aluminum foil and burn for sure!

2 Al-Waha Shisha Reviews

¬†I had to write a review on “Al-Waha” brand Guava flavour. I’m wild for the smell of¬† real guava fruit, and even more for it’s taste. Now this is the second pack I’ve recieved.

The smell upon opening the box is nothing at all like guava. It smells like the inside of a work-out gym, or sports locker room. Exactly! Besides that, any shisha has its own smell be it cherry, apple, grape, orange,pear,watermelon, banana¬†etc. But this guava’s smell is extremly pungent and super strong.

The taste when smoking is also very, very strong and itdoesn’t seem like a guava taste but its terrific. It -‘m smoking a small bowl too, and its lasting quite a long time compared to the other¬†Al-Waha flavours. I’m enjoying this emmensly. It might not be guava maybe “allspice” but its fantastic.

The second I want to tal about is A-Waha brand “Bahareni” date flavour. Al-Waha is from Jordan and they have many date groves there.

“Bahareni” is very dark and has the smell of dates¬† when you open the¬† pac. The taste when smoking is rich and luxurious.

In this photo the Bahareni flavour is on the bottom right side,  the pack has date palms on it.

“Hookah..its not just for students”.

“Al-Sultan ” brand shisha is also from Jordan and¬† I think it is a terrific shisha.

“Trench Mouth”

If you’ve been smoking a few bowls in a row, like I just did, and each flavour tastes the same, pure junk, or worse as these photos might show

This is how you’ll feel

No un-salty water, you’re in the desert and are “pinning for the Fjords”.

It means that you are :Smoking too much, and/or need to drink since you have become as one thirsting in the desert. Drink something without caffiene.

Fruit jucise help for hookah smokers in this case. I’ve heard from people that even if you are NOT a drinker of alchoholic “bevrages” you may take a mixed vodka drink and swirls it in your mouth, to spit out. This cleans the palate and also makes it more sensative to taste. Drinking lots of vodka will dull the brain which will dull the sense of smell and taste besides turning you into a .

Also, try changing to  a fresh hookah hose

Or try mint flavoured shisha

Mint tea

or brush your teeth, mate!I don’t use any particular brand, but mix with a bit of mint toothpaste and water.Each to personal taste.

The baking soda helps clean teeth and makes healthy gums, kills germs and is great (without the mint) to use a solution of very little baking soda to clean your metal shaft, but rinse well so it won’t rust, but for cleaning the glass bowl you may use a higher % with warm water to clean off impurities with the brush or baby bottle brush!

So, a few good ideas have been mentioned. Maybe you need to clean your hookah.

Most probably, its a total combination of ALL the factors.
