No bubbles in the glass base when inhaling?
It could be one of the following reasons:
- There could be too much or too little water in the glass base. The metal stem should be 1 1/2 inches submerged in the water.
- One of the connections
could be not a 100% air tight.
Check by:
- Check the hose by blowing in to mouthpiece while sealing other end of the hose with your thumb.
If no air passes through when sealed, then the hose is good.
- Check connections between the metal stem and:
a) Glass base.
b) Hose.
c) Hookah bowl.
The smoke is too thick?
- When the tobacco heats rapidly, the smoke inside the chamber of the glass vase may get rather thick. To prevent this, start with one charcoal and place it on one side of the bowl. Using the tongs, move the charcoal around the top of the clay bowl throughout the smoking session. This will portion out the amount of tobacco being heated at one time. As a remedy -blow gently in to the hose to clear some of the smoke from the chamber.
The smoke is too thin?
- If the hookah was smoking very well and the smoke becomes very thin; then the charcoal is probably beginning to die out. Carefully clear some of the ash from the charcoal. light a new charcoal and put it on top of the hookah bowl. Never light a self-lighting charcoal on top of the hookah while smoking-the extra smoke will overwhelm the tobacco flavors.
- If the smoke starts off very thin, it usually means the charcoal is not hot enough.
Simply light another charcoal and begin with two charcoals.
You may find that once the charcoals are heated, the smoke in the chamber becomes
very thick and one of the coals may need to be removed.
