Understandably, you had a fair inquiry about hookah setup when you purchased your first hookah pipe. Although there are various ways to prepare a hookah, they all involve the same fundamental processes. Both regular aluminum foil and the Heat Management System can be used to prepare hookah. This post will teach you how to setup a Hookah with aluminum foil.
Remove the stem from the glass base
While the stems of certain hookahs are screwed into the base, the stems of other hookahs are secured with rubber grommets that must be pulled to be removed.
Add cold water to the glass hookah base
Make sure your stem is immersed at most 1 – 1.25 inches at the bottom when rejoining it. The smoke will only be sufficiently filtered if you add enough water. However, breathing will be challenging if too much water is present. After a few tries, you’ll get the hang of it.
Attach the stem to the base of the glass
Make sure the fit is snug. After that, connect the hose to the hookah using the hose port. Place the stem on top of the tray.
To fire your electric burner, place two to three coals on it
Utilizing quick-lighting coals is not advised because they cause your smoke to smell bad. Using natural hookah charcoal would be the finest option.
Scoop some smoking tobacco into the bowl using a fork
The amount of tobacco depends on your bowl’s body size. Tobacco leaf veins can be removed since they might emit an unpleasant smell when burned. To prevent the tobacco from being too close to the foil, gently pack it two or three millimeters under the edge of the bowl. Attempt to pack it as puffy as possible so that airflow can readily circulate through it.
Make room for free airflow
To help the airflow, create a funnel in the middle of the tobacco. It should have the width of a pencil.
Get the foil ready
It’s time to have the foil ready to cover the bowl. Fold a piece of aluminum foil twice after tearing it. The top of the dish should be covered in foil, and you should poke small, cylindrical holes there. After you’re done, secure the hookah bowl to the stem using a rubber grommet to ensure it sits airtight.
Examine your coals
You need to check on your hookah coals next. Hookah tongs should be used to position them around the bowl’s edge if they are red-hot. To minimize uneven heating, which would cause your tobacco to heat and burn more quickly, place the coals uniformly around the top of the bowl. Keep the hookah going as your smoking session continues by adding fresh, glowing coals.
