Smoking Hookah Tips - GoHookah.com

Add an ice cube to the water in the tank for a smoother smoking experience.
Add lemon, orange or other juice to the water to enhance the taste.
Use milk instead of water for thicker smoke.
Crumble the shisha with your fingers before putting it in the bowl to avoid clumping.
Blow out the smoke that collects in the glass base every once in a while so the smoke does not become stale. This gets rid of some of the harsh flavor from the stale smoke.
Place the foil shiny side down to retain more heat from the charcoal.
Place the charcoal close to one side of the top of the bowl. Move it around in a circle as the shisha burns. This helps portion the amount of shisha being smoked.
Never place the charcoal directly on the shisha. Always use the aluminum foil or a charcoal screen.
If you are having trouble placing the stem in the vase, try wetting the rubber grommet so it slides in easier.
If the smoke is too thick, blow into the hose gently to release some of the smoke from the chamber.
Store your shisha is an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This maintains its freshness.
Blow out all of the hoses before and after each smoking session. This clears out any smoke residue present.
Use a different hose for tobaccos in different flavor categories. For example don't use the same hose to smoke mint flavors as you do to smoke tropical fruit flavors.
Hang your hose.
