Things You Need
- Hookah Stem + Vase. (Recommendation: Zahrah Spade 2)
- Water.
- Hookah Bowl. (Recommendation: Clay Phunnel-shaped Hookah Bowl)
- Hookah Hose. (Recommendation: Silicone Hose)
- Fork (Optional)
- Tobacco. (Recommendation: Blonde Leaf Tobacco for Beginners)
- Foil.
- Toothpick/ Pin/ Poker.
- Coals. (Recommendation: Coconut Shell Coals)
- Burner. (Recommendation: Hookah Coal Burner that is 1000 watts or below that)
- Flat Tongs.
- Heat Management Device (optional).
- Mouth Tips (If you are smoking in a group).
Getting Started (Methodology)
- Set up the hookah, get your base filled with water. For a good draw, you need water in the hookah base. Make sure your Stem should be an inch submerged in the water.
- Get a couple of coals out, get them on the burner so they get ready by the time you finish packing.
- Now, pack the bowl in such a way like you are sprinkling the shisha. Otherwise, use a toothpick or fork and poke it to make some air-pockets.
- Next, you will have to wrap the bowl with aluminum foil; if you have HMD, then you need to use two sheets. Otherwise, one will be enough.
- Then make some holes in the middle using a pin. Now make some more in circles all over the bowl. Place the bowl on the hookah.
- See if the coals are ready, place them on the bowl, or in the HMD using a flat tong. If you are using aluminum foil only, then place them towards the edge.
- Everything is done. You are all set to go.
Enjoy your first hookah!
