How To Make Your Hookah Taste Fresh?

Do you ever have a hookah session where you overhear talks that sounds like “whoa, that hookah tastes bad”? Or perhaps the hookah flavour turns out to be burned and taste harsh. Such shisha smoking experience can ruin your hookah interest for lifetime because the ideal hookah must taste fresh and offer a moment of relaxation rather than a moment of regression. This depends on the way a hookah is prepared. Well, preparing a hookah that taste fresh is not a rocket science. Just follow these simple tips and have a great shisha session ahead. Here are they:

Use Ice and cold water:

Cold water is among the fundamental ingredients of hookah preparation. There is no doubt that water gets warmer in the base while smoking so there is no sense of using warm water. For a hookah to taste fresh, add some ice cube to the base- as the ice melts it keeps your water temperature under control. But also remember, with the melting ice, the taste of tobacco also fades away. So don’t use it too much.

Use wet and fresh tobacco:

Make sure you keep the tobacco in a dry place and away from the direct sunlight. The more wet it is, the more it makes the hookah taste fresh. And tobacco is the only thing on which the taste of your hookah depends hence make sure you buy only the quality. So don’t use a tobacco pack older than 2 months and if it is that old prefer to buy a new packet. You can also mix the old tobacco with the new one and get a new flavor out of your experiment. While sitting in a shisha lounge london too.

Take the proper amount of tobacco:

“Less is more” must be the principle of preparing your hookah. To prevent tobacco juice fall into the vase or bowl, we suggest you to use a vertex or a funnel bowl. It helps to last hookah fresh for a longer period of time. 

Heat Management system:

Proper heat management makes the cola bake evenly and don’t let it burn. Make a fine balance between the layers of foil and the amount of charcoal. For traditional hookah, it requires less number of foils say one layer to four coals. The heat management system improves the session quality and makes it taste even better.

When possible make use of natural coal:

This is another tips for fresh tasting hookah. Instead of using instant coals, try to make use of natural coals. This will never let your hookah session break out of headache. Mostly shisha places in London offer natural coals and there is no doubt that they are the best earning lounges of the place.

Take care of your hookah:

Last but not the least, always take care of your hookah and keep it in a good condition to make it taste better. Be sure to clean it after every hookah session and even in between the sessions if it stretches out to longer time periods. If you don’t clean your hookah, burnt tobacco and smoke will remain on the fine details and ruin our next session with bad odor.

Bonus tip:

We recommend changing the base water in your hookah bottle or base after each session- this is truly worth the effort.
