this whole time i was overpacking it! no wonder my hookah wasn't hitting well... thanks hookah genie for all the tips!
Overpacking a hookah causes no air to flow through from the hookah and the bowl. It also causes the coals to be in direct contact with the tobacco causing it to burn quicker and ending the session. Our goal is to provide these tips to help everyone.
thanks for great tips
keep it up
How would you go about using fruit as a bowl?
Its so true, don't over pack! your missing out. You don't need to pack the bowl to the top, let there be distance between the foil and the tobacco!
