Flavors, coals and your session

The secret to a good session

The right shisha flavour makes your evening: fruity and fresh is nice to start with, mint and mixed flavours add a bit more spice. Combine with natural coconut coals that burn longer and give more flavour. Light them thoroughly on a coal burner until they glow all around.

Does your shisha taste burnt? Then the coals are usually too close to the tobacco or there are too many. Use fewer and place them at the edge.

Maintenance

Cleaning for the best taste

Rinse the vase, smoke column, and bowl with warm water after each session, and occasionally use a brush to remove residue. Allow everything to dry thoroughly. A clean hookah tastes better and lasts much longer. Replace your hose on time if it's not washable.
