Tip # 4 burned tobacco

The most annoying thing that could happen when you smoke hookah is over burned tobacco, some can not smoke it at all, it can be for many reasons, wind, too much tobacco, strong coals, too many coals, less tobacco and many more reasons..
first look on how to make a proper head (bowl)
here are some more tips to avoid over burned tobacco: 
+ make some more holes
+ make smaller holes
+ check if by any chance you put more or less tobacco
+ don't force and push the tobacco at once, spread it gently
+ smoke often, sometimes people smoke a lot and a lot on one hookah, it's recommended to take a break for a minute or so, once the tobacco is over burned.
+ use a toothpick from the bottom of the bowls, each bowl has several holes at the bottom of it, use a toothpick to make holes on the foil from the bottom of the bowl, as i demonstrate in the picture added (not a painter)



Tip # 3 Bowl

There are two major types of bowls, ceramic and clay. each with it's disadvantages and advantages.


Ceramic bowl: 
The standard Bowl that usually comes when you buy the hookah.


Advantages: 
+  less breakable
+ easy to clean
+ different colors
+ different sizes and shapes


Disadvantages:
- heat up quickly
- more taste side effects


Clay:
more difficult to find in a normal shop.


Advantages:
+ does not heat up quicly
+ you feel the taste better
+ normally comes in two sizes : small and large (about average size)


Disadvantages:
- less durable against falling
- 98% of most clay bowls comes in one color
- one standard shape.


In conclusion, if you smoke a lot use the clay, otherwise the ceramic is good too.
My personal preference is the clay.

step # 4 Hookah pipe integrity

We chose a hookah, examined the body and now it's left to choose and test pipe (hose) fitting.


Check connections - pipe three main parts that require examination: the connection with the hookah, the fairy we smoked through and the covered partsof the pipe, the hose.Check that the pipe is connected properly and not loose, check the fitness  for both hookah pipe and tube and another rubber band will be asked for spare, just in case.

Nozzle of the hose connected to a hookah sometimes comes loose, ask to strengthen it or choose another tube, checking the decorations that adorn it are not worn, check to see if she hooked up with a rubber band or tape? And whether the connection is correct?the smoking fairy, check that the nozzle is not clogged, crooked, loose, excessively dirty, well reinforced and not worn. Check the pipe decorations are not loose and worn.

Tightness test tube -  approached the tube into your ear and blew the second nozzle, check the outgoing air is strong, the same test on the other.cover 1 fairy and blew a second mouthpiece, check that air flight (Noise in the tube indicates the escape), then checked again the second mouthpiece. During these tests, "play" a little with the hose (turn and bend it slightly), and investigated whether there is  escape of air.  

Step # 1 Select your hookah

The first article would be a little long but I promise you that his successors will be more concise..

To be able to choose the right hookah you have to take into consideration several criteria to choose from, such as size, quality and place of production, cost, accessories and personal taste.

Each of the critical selection criteria appropriate for you, and I'll show you a clear picture to what you're going.

Sizes:

Very small: These hookahs are carried to a height of 15 cm, so right. Are hookahs so compact you can carry them in your pocket weighing about 200 grams. to the addicts among us who just have to smoke at any time our eyes open

Small: Hookahs at a height of 35 cm. Hookahs compact, best suited to the sea, hiking, weight 700 grams

Medium: Hookahs at a height of 50 cm, weight ranges from 1 to 2.5 kg. Hookahs primarily to but you can take them for long walks

Large: Hookahs to 1 meter in height, weight from 1.5 kg, hookahs house. Not recommended to take out of the house, because it's just not convenient to drag on with them

Huge (very large): Hookahs that rose to 1.8 meters (and even more)

Does size matter?
