Wow. you're good... The writing for Al Ashri that you posted looks really similar to the last pic. Does that have a meaning?

I was just curious if anyone was familiar with the engraving on the part that the tray sits on. I've tried googling different brands and can't find one. Just shooting this thread out there if anyone has one that looks similar to this. Thanks for reading.

Wow... I think you're on point with what I was describing. Thanks for that. Instead of a skewer to position the foil, i think I may be doing that part wrong and I end up poking small holes over the middle where the hole is...

[quote name='mushrat' timestamp='1288210666' post='486592'] ah, also, once you ahve gone through a round or two of coals, ash can clog up the holes in the foil enough to change the draw characteristics, as can the foil in the center being gradually pulled down over the central hole. when you change coals, pull the bowl, blow gently through the bottom, careful not to blow the foil completely off, and then try re-coaling. [/quote] Yeah, that's a problem too. I've been using up all my coco's because i tried another brand Shishaco?. but that brand ashes so much compared to coco. So my bowls have been getting a bit of ash inside because of those coals.

[quote name='iMPeRiaL 619' timestamp='1288207989' post='486584'] I know what you're trying to say. You get planty of smoke but it feels like it gets pushed around easily. Have you had this problem with any other type of shisha? [/quote] I've only noticed this until now. It's not that big a deal as I'm satisfied with my sessions, it's just something that I noticed. The smoke I get at first is good... but for some reason, after 45 minutes or so and really ashing off the coal well, the smoke is really good.. .but only lasts for 15-30 minutes or so. Just would be great to have an entire session with that kind of smoke. haha. I'll try placing coal on one side and rotate it on that area only and see what happens.

Hm... you don't put coals equally on the bowl to equally heat the entire bowl?

I usually just add 1 or 2 fresh halves to it to get a little bit more out of it. I'm pretty sure by 45 minutes or so the only part left that's fresh is the bottom part. When I clean my bowl out when I'm done, the bottom is the only part that's still kind of not burned or charred. Do you normally have to add another set of coals to the bowl after a while to keep it going? That sounds like a stupid question because it really depends on the bowl i'm guessing. But for my phunnel, I think after 45 minutes, if I were to relight another set of 4 halved coco's I might only get another 15 minutes of smoke before i just get burnt tasting smoke....

Hey all, So I've been on this forum for a few months & have asked a few questions here and there and have gotten some good help as well as searching through the search feature. I've gotten my hookah set up down to a pretty good science by now. Tangier's phunnel, regular foil, JM's shisha, 3 foot generic hookah (bought from a hookah bar) or an Egyptian 28 inch (not sure about the brand, it has writing on it that I don't understand), regular chilled water in the base, 3 coconaras rotated every 10 minutes or so. So here's something I've noticed; I've been able to get good smoke with the way I regulate the coals and manage the heat. I usually split 2 coco's and place 4 halves on the edges of my phunnel OR 3 whole cocos (When I'm too lazy to break them in half with a flathead screw driver and hammer). I've noticed that 45 minutes to an hour into my session and after thoroughly ashing my coals and possibly adding 2 fresh new coco's to the bowl, I get really good clouds that feel really light compared to during my sessions when I get good decent clouds but feel i guess more dense. I don't know how to describe it or if I'm making ANY kind of sense here. I dunno, the smoke feels lighter and easier to blow out... Not to say that I smoke with harsh smoke during my sessions. It's just... a lighter fluffier feeling with the smoke i get towards the end that I wish I had throughout my entire session. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the heat what's left in the bowl available.... but still, If anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know. How does everyone's session go?

Yeah, they're based in Los Angeles, I've been to their store to pick up a hose adapter. But that's as far as my business has gone with them.

I have about 3 single-hose hookahs that I've acquired over a 5 year span. Lately, it's been just my gf and I smoking in my room. I have quite a few hoses including a Mya, a Nammor, and a cobra hose; I bought the Nammor because it is washable and it draws really well. However, my girlfriend doesn't like it because she's more sensitive to the smoke and says she draws too much which she says has a harsh smoke. But when she smokes out of the mya hose, she has no problem. It's a bother when we end up having to switch from my Nammor to the mya because I love smoking with my nammor. That's my reason for looking for a double hose hookah...

Thanks... I'll try hookahjohn. I found a smoke shop near my house that sells mya's for $52 plus tax. I never really wanted one until I saw it up close and got to hold one. It's pretty sturdy and I think It'd be perfect for taking to Vegas next month.
