Shisha Tips

The section that gives you the tips that actually do make a difference!

1. Crush some ice and add to the shisha bowl at the bottom or add really cold water from a water bottle that has been in the fridge.

2. Try using milk, orange juice instead of water in shisha bowl. (No seriously it works with some flavours)

3. To make the most of any flavour make sure your shisha head (the bit at the top where you put the tobacco) is bigger than normal size. Having a bigger head always makes a difference.

4. Don’t just use any coal, make sure you use the correct coal for shisha.

5. Keep your tobacco in its container in a cool place like the fridge.

6. Dice up lemons and add to the shisha bowl. (Lemony taste- if your into that!) Or maybe try mint leaves?

7. Make sure you have sufficient holes on the foil you put over the head, put don’t over do it.

8. This goes without saying – Clean all of the shisha equipment after each use. Yes this includes the bowl, head, pipe, even the actual main shisha.

9. Make sure you place the coal on one side of the head and move the coal in a circular motion after every 15-20mins.

10. When changing coals, take of the head and turn it over and blow gently to let out trapped smoke.

11. Make sure the tobacco in the head is crumble gently with fingers and spread evenly.

12. Don’t pack the head upto the top with tobacco- the tobacco has to breathe and with an overload of tobacco it make take ages getting the shisha going.

13. Try mixing different flavours together and post your perfect combination in the flavours section.

    try a few crushed Halls (the sore throat sweets) in the bowl but give it a good mix so it starts to dissolve. you get a very smooth and mentholy smoke which makes the shesha last longer then unseal

    I have just returned from Morocco and we had water with a shot of Creme de Menthe in the bowl, we used liquorice tabacco and it was superb, really strong flavour!
