Hi Mr. Sarkis, I can only have 40 minutes of hookah with a lot of smoke with three 25 mm coconut charcoals and lotus and 15 grams of Jibiar tobacco. Can you guide me to have 2 hours of hookah with a lot of smoke like you?
@@rockandrolldude22 you’re not the only one and it’s okay. Been using the Lotus since it launched in 2013. This is the easiest and most efficient way to start it up.
@@SarkisAlexander also while I have you is it true that you can only use 1 flavor in Turkish clay boys or is that a myth. Someone said once I pick a flavor I have to stay with that one.
@@rockandrolldude22 obvious myth. Bc it doesn’t matter what style bowl it is but whether or not it’s glazed or unglazed. Unglazed clay absorbs the flavor from the molasses so if you use only one flavor, the flavor is accentuated. But it’s also by no means a requirement. Where are you getting your info from? Reddit r/hookah??
I just bought a turkish bowl with the chimney the main reason I bought it was to replace foil so it would be easier to smoke in my room. Would you say its good or did I just waste my money?
@@guterjunge3542 can’t master shisha unless you master the fundamentals first. An HMD still requires heat management principles to get the most out of your session - it’s not a vape and is definitely not automatic. That said, this video is obviously for the tens of millions of hookah smokers who are just starting out or willing to learn hookah as a whole. Not for casuals who just want to put a hose in their mouth and suck on it, without any comprehension of what’s happening in the bowl and how shisha reacts to heat, my friend.
@@SarkisAlexander I know, but a HMD makes everything much more controllable especially with darkblends. You can smoke like you want and it’s a good tutorial! I myself wouldn’t think of not using a HMD on my Matt Pear or Steamulation… in the end if you spend that much you just don’t want the headache of smoking with an alufoil. It’s just making it easier to control the hart effectively. In the end I guess it’s also a cultural thing
@@guterjunge3542 maybe you don’t know but I taught the world how to use HMDs since they first came out in 2013. You really should get a better grasp of my channel before making adjustments. That said, in 22 years of being at the top of the hookah game, it is easy to tell when someone is arguing from a perspective of convenience versus skill. But it should be common knowledge that if you really want to take your HMD game to its highest potential - then first master coal on foil.
@@guterjunge3542 also the hookah has zero bearing on whether you should use an Hmd or not. Youre focused on your set up instead of your session. You pair the right HMD to the right tobacco type as HMDs are tools to assist you in making heat management a bit easier - they pertain to the tobacco and bowl only. The fact that you’re even mentioning a hookah tells me a lot my friend.
@@SarkisAlexander what the sock, mate :D I don't need to google it for me, I need to know why when I search "Hookah UNLIMITED" the same way you wrote it here I can't find the group while searching especially for "groups" :)
Why would I do what? Mix Nakhla DA and AF DA together? Watching the video may answer your question, friend. And regarding hookah classics, this was a mix we did since 2002
while yes i dont believe it reaches anywhere near 400f the bottom of the bowl(more specifically silicone phunnel) is is not where i would get readings. Silicone one does not transfer near as much heat as clay and two being a phunnel you are not pulling nearly as much heat down to the bottom layers of tobacco as say a egyptian bowl so in clay and egyptians you will likely see higher temps at the bottom. the top of the bowl will be where a majority of the heat is concentrated.
issue with fridge is not excessive moisture. its actually the complete opposite. a fridge working properly is a dry environment as cold air holds less moisture than warm air. as a result as the air gets drier liquid evaporates quicker which in turn will cause your shisha to dry out much faster.
Respectfully, for what? Sessions lasted 2+ hours with flavor and clouds. Maybe it’s more important to learn how to pack and heat manage Must Have tobacco better, don’t you think?
Really? What truly interesting to me is you weren’t even capable of considering the size of the bowl, the type of tobacco in the bowl, or any other major variable that would affect the required amount of heat such as how one has packed the bowl. For example, if we’re specifically talking about foil-only application; then two coals is enough with very heat sensitive tobacco that’s been packed far too dense. But we’re not talking about bad packs, shitty tobacco, number of coals, or small bowls. We’re talking about how to use coals on foil to heat manage your session - in fact I start with “begin with a predetermined pattern based on the size of your bowl”. This particular bowl is quite wide in relation to the size of coals I’m using - maybe you missed that - then the entirety of the message was about how and when to ash your coals and move them around. Please don’t speak out of your ass like this. There’s levels to this game.
Hi, flavor isn’t ever weak unless you’re smoking shisha from 1998 Everything else is solved with dialing in the correct pack for whatever brand you’re smoking.
This is the set up and pack recommended for Must Have - the lotus doesn’t work quite as well. But opting for a Normal Plus Pack at an Underpack by 3mm will work okay if you must use a Lotus
I would need to know what you’re putting in the bowl and how you’re packing it. And how many coals you’re using and what kind+what size. As well as which exact bowl you’re using. There are many variables in hookah that affect the outcome. Naturally the goal is always clean potent flavor, large smooth clouds and have it stay that way for at least 1.5-2hrs for blondes and 2-3hrs for darks. But not doing one or two things correctly will negatively impact the session. Therefore, there is not a simple easy answer to provide without providing viable information. One thing I can’t stress enough to beginners in hookahs is that no two shisha tobacco brands are the same, so each one requires a different approach to extract its full potential
@@SarkisAlexander oh wowwww! Thank you for this this def makes sense . I’m using shisha from a company named “Fumari “ I found them here on RU-vid and watched their videos over and over . So I brought a hookah head from them which is a Funnel bowl ( which I hear is recommended ) it’s a nice size pretty big cause I fit the kaloud lotus on it perfectly . I use 3 coconut coals on it to start it up . What stands out to me about what uu said was I sometimes mix flavors from two different companies. Fumari ( blonde leaf ) Al Fakher ( red/ dark leaf ) and it never last a hour or anything it’s usually shorter then that and starts to taste burnt . Never knew how long hookah sessions should last before uu need to change the shisha . Fumari says to pack their bowl two inches below line in bowl . What company do you recommend to use ?? And based off what I listed can you please advise me on what to do better ?? I appreciate it 😊
@@shan9077 another point I’d like to stress is that just as no two brands are the same, there are brands that are just not very good. Imagine thinking every burger is the same quality, for example. Outcome is further impacted when you begin to explore mixing different brands as not all are compatible with one another since they all require a different approach. That said, fumari used to be considered a top tier blonde for beginners. But they haven’t been the same as their peak since 2018. You see, very easily it tastes a bit burnt and has a weird aftertaste now - which is probably what you’re experiencing now. Also, I wouldn’t pay much attention to their content as it’s all made as an attempt to market their product… and poorly so as far as the content they put out is in terms of actual expert level advice. That said, What flavors do you like from Fumari? Maybe I can recommend others that might assist you further
@@SarkisAlexander okay i completely understand ! I’ve definitely been trying to perfect my hookah experience so I’ve been experimenting and this was the first company since Al fakher for me . That’s why I’m glad I’m asking you because I’m sure uu can guide me to better . So far I actually like their lemon mint flavor and their pirkley pear . From Al fakher I like love 66 and a little vanilla mixed or skyfall and a little vanilla mixed . I usually like to mix a sweet flavor with like a mint flavor stuff like that . But I’m open to suggestions. What company should I go towards next ? Also I will look up this hookah bowl ur using in this video too . 😊
