Hookah Noob Looking To Learn


DrSmokes

Recommended Posts

My buddy got me into Hookah earlier this year. As a graduation present/moving away present, he bought one for me. Been reading on various forums and online about improving the hookah experience, especially with this one...it seems I have a bunch of air leaks sadly (after trying to find solutions to thin smoke). I'll be looking to fix them in the coming weeks when I find my soldering iron in one of these damn moving boxes -_-

But in the mean time, I'm looking to do quite a bit of reading up as well as waiting on my new order of shisha and coals to get in!

I've found the leaks...poor welding job. 1 of the spouts (not sure if correct technical term - place where you put the hose) has 3 or so leaks. Waiting to get some tools to fix them. I believe there is still one more big leak but I have to wait until I get some tools to fix the current known leaks before I go looking for the other possible leak.

Welcome, what new shisha and coals will you be getting in?

I'm getting a few things of SB:
Melon Blue (already tried it and loved it!!)
White peach (saw people recommending...and my wife LOVES peach anything)
Guava (another one I saw people recommending)

As for the coals, I went with the 40mm Golden Coals. Saw they were getting decent reviews, figured I'd try some and see what I thought about them.

Also picked up a new Vortex bowl bc it was ~5 bucks so I said "why not?" lol
