The Hookah has been around for centuries and is a popular choice among smokers. It’s thought to originate from the Persian word “Hooka,” which means “to draw or pull.” The water pipe is also called the Shisha and Narghile in other countries such as India and Lebanon. Today we will explore some of the best ways to get more out of your smoking experience with these methods:
Experiment With Different Types Of Tobacco
One of the most significant factors that can impact the experience is the type of tobacco used. There are many different types of tobacco to experiment with such as dark leaf, light leaf, and others. They can be found on this website and many more and you should try a few different types before settling with one. Some people have a tobacco preference when it comes to smoking hookah while others don’t care at all. If you are the type who prefers an unflavored tobacco flavor, there are some low-grade brands out there that can fit the bill.
Experiment With Different Flavors Of Molasses
Molasses is a type of tobacco sauce that contains fruit extracts and molasses. There are many different flavors you can experiment with such as apple, cherry, blueberry, lemon, grapefruit, and more. Try a few out to find your favorite flavor and then come back to it every time you smoke. If you’ve noticed, some brands tend to taste better than others and that’s because of the flavors they use such as wintergreen and orange which makes the experience more pleasurable.
Smoke More Quickly
It’s pretty straightforward. If you want to smoke more quickly, don’t tamp down your mix as much or if you do, use a screen between the coal and shisha bowl. You need less heat to get it going. The only downside is that the flavor may not be as rich or complex as if you pack it more tightly. It can be a good place to start for beginners, though.
Of course, taking the time to break in your hookah with natural coals will really bring out all the flavors! As a side note, make sure you clean your hookah regularly too. That way you won’t have a lot of built-up residue on the bottom of your hookah.
Learn To Draw Smoke Slowly
On the other hand, if you want to take it slow, don’t pack your hookah so tight. Don’t put so many natural coals on. Take more time between breaths. This is a good habit for people who are just getting into the hobby of smoking hookah or maybe already have experience with hookah but are looking to improve their experience.
However, the downside of this is that some flavors are not as strong or might be lighter. This can be a little more challenging to find shisha you enjoy because it takes so much longer for your flavor to develop. Be sure you clean out your hookah regularly too!
Increase Your Smoking Sessions Per Day
People who want to smoke more often or for a longer period of time should try smoking every day. Get into the routine of smoking at least 3-4 times per week and after a few weeks, you’ll notice that you start to really enjoy the flavor and the experience. It’s pretty convenient because you don’t have to pack up your hookah so often and it can be a relaxing activity in between studying or working. The downside is that it can get a little expensive and you might not enjoy the flavor as much, depending on how often you smoke.
Buy A Diffuser To Smooth Out Your Smoke
There’s nothing worse than getting a harsh or bitter taste from your hookah so if this happens to you, it might be time to invest in a diffuser. Every hookah is different and some don’t need a diffuser, but those that do can use a diffuser to make the smoke smoother and more flavorful. It’s a really simple process too! All you have to do is take out your bowl grommet and put the diffuser in its place. Then attach it with foil and you’re done.
There are many different types of diffusers and you can find them online and there are also many videos that explain how to use one too. You can make the whole experience better for you and your friends.
