Hookah Heat Management: Tips for the Perfect Session
Getting the perfect hookah session often comes down to proper heat management. Whether you’re using foil or a heat management device (HMD), managing heat correctly ensures optimal flavor and smoke output.
Choose the Right Coals
Natural coals, like coconut coals, are a popular choice because they burn longer and hotter than quick-light coals. They also produce less ash and don’t alter the flavor of your shisha.
Placement Matters
When using foil, spread the coals evenly around the edge of the bowl. Avoid placing them directly in the center because it can burn the shisha and ruin the flavor. Rotate the coals every 10-15 minutes for even heat distribution.
Use a Heat Management Device (HMD)
HMDs, such as our Vadra, take the guesswork out of heat management. They regulate the heat and prevent the coals from burning the shisha too quickly. This results in longer sessions and better-tasting smoke.
Adjusting Heat During Your Session
If your smoke is harsh, remove a coal or move it further to the edge of the bowl. If the smoke is too thin, add another coal or adjust their position closer to the center.
Conclusion
Mastering heat management is essential for the perfect hookah session. With the right coals, tools, and techniques, you’ll enjoy smooth, flavorful smoke every time.
