The Most Flavor Shisha

Do not Smoke on an Empty Stomach

Request an employee to Help You Set It up

If your first time smoking the hookah at an establishment that is a lounge, request the staff to bring your bowl. It's not rocket science, but getting it right will guarantee you a relaxing smoking experience. If you're by yourself, make sure that you make the bowl as soft as you can.

Inhale Lightly

Be careful not to get too exuberant and take in more than you can take. Inhale slowly and gently and take small breaks between. While you inhale, smoke will flow through the device before entering the mouthpiece. Inhale and enjoy the taste.

Don't Rush It

It's important to remember to take your time when you smoke an e-cigarette. If your device comes with multiple hoses make sure you're not smoking simultaneously with someone else. Two people smoking the hookah at the same time will cause the coal burn excessively hot, which can result in a bitter and unsatisfying pull. This will also make the burn of the tobacco much faster, shortening your session.

Remember to Relax and chill out
