How to load and control the heat.
It's simple to load the paste. Follow a few simple recommendations to get a delicious and smoky hookah.
This is a distinctive advantage, beginners can make a hookah, even if they have never loaded a bowl
before.
How to load
1. Phunnel Bowl
We recommend using a clay glazed phunnel - it will make using the paste as simple as possible, and
smoking will be comfortable.
*When using the paste in a mix with tobacco, you can load any bowl.
2. Paste
If it is a tobacco mix, regardless of the loading, it lasts approximately the same (1-1. 5 hours),
then when using the paste, the smoking session can be easily controlled, it is directly
proportional to the amount of the paste used while loading:
• 10 g – 1 hour of smoking
• 12-13 g – 1.5 hours
• 15 g – 2 hours or more
3. Warm-up time
We warm it up using 4 coals of 25 mm
For 10-15 min
When the vase is filled with smoke, the hookah is ready.
Blow through, remove 1 coal and you can smoke comfortably.
Mistakes when loading:
• Do not load too little and do not leave too much cm from the top the bowl - the product will not warm
up, and you will not get the desired session of comfortable and delicious smoking.
• We do not recommend to overpack (when there is much paste in the bowl, it touches a heat management
system with coals)
If you overpack, and the product touched the heat management system and got overheated, then it can
still be smoked:
1. Remove the kalaud and clean it out from the paste
2. Remove 1-2 coals and let the paste cool slightly for 2-3 minutes
3. Blow through and try whether the paste is ready again
4. Continue smoking comfortably
* But for professionals in the hookah area, we recommend trying overpacking, then the taste will be even
more saturated, and warm up time will take less time.
Do not smoke the hookah with the paste until it is warmed up fully: just fill the bowl, put the coal and
leave the product to fully warm up. When smoking, nicotine, aroma, will be released first, which will
cause unpleasant sensations and throat hit. Comfortable smoking begins at the moment when the glycerin
is fully warmed up.
Problems with paste smoking
If there are any problems (for example there is no smoke, there is little taste, it causes throat hit, there is no smoke at all, the taste disappears quickly), then these are the consequences of improper use of the product.
There are 2 main problems: the product is either underheated or overheated. Any of these problems can be easily solved and you can return to the most saturated, delicious and comfortable smoking.
The product is underheated
How to determine: there is no smoke in the vase, there is no smoke when smoking, it causes throat hit, the taste disappears after 15-20 minutes of smoking.
What to do: add 1 charcoal, wait a few minutes until the required level of heat in the bowl is restored and you can continue smoking.
The product is overheated:
How to determine: there is a lot of smoke, but it is impossible to smoke, you feel throat hit, smoke comes from the bowl.
What to do: remove 1-2 coals, let the bowl cool down a little, blow through and you can continue smoking.
The main difference of the mineral-based paste in comparison with shisha is that you can start smoking again, after overheating, feeling all the tastes without any changes.
When you overheat shisha, it will be possible to smoke it again, but there will be not that flavoring as
before.
