How to make your hookah taste fresh?

From time to time we overhear talks at hookah hangouts that sound like:”Wow, this hookah tastes bad.” Those comments make us sad because the ideal hookah should be tasty and offer a moment of relaxation, not burn your throat. But hey, there’s no science in preparing your hookah the right way – just follow these simple tips to make your hookah taste fresh. Here they are!

 

Use ice and cold water

The fundamental principle during hookah preparation is to use cold water. It’s inevitable that the water gets warmer in the bottle while smoking, so you wouldn’t want to use warm water – it only gets even warmer.

To make your hookah taste fresh, add a few pieces of ice in your bottle – the ice melts slowly and keeps the water temperature under control.

However, note that although ice makes your hookah taste fresh, but decreases the taste of the tobacco.

 

Use wet and fresh quality tobacco

 

Moving on – the next tip to make your hookah taste fresh, is to make sure the tobacco is kept in a dry place and away from direct sunlight.

If you know there’s a long period ahead where you don’t plan to smoke, put the tobacco in a resealable bag to keep the air away.

Bare in mind that the essential tip of a tasty hookah is the tobacco – so, always go with the quality ones.

Also, if you happen to find an old pack of tobacco, try to make sure it was opened within the last two months. If not, we suggest buying a new one and not attempt any human experiments with the old one.  PREVIOUS：Why wooden hookah is better than a glass hookah? NEXT：HOW TO PACK A SHISHA PHUNNEL BOWL
