Hookah or Shisha has taken the world by storm and is becoming a sort of a trend amongst the young and old across the world. There are thousands of hookah parlor's around the world but for a person who smokes hookah everyday, it can be an expensive habit. Luckily hookahs can now be purchased along with the flavors and all the accessories that come with it. But one question most amateurs ask is how to get thick smoke like how they get in the parlor's? Its actually very easy and if you follow these simple steps, you will no longer need to spend hundreds to have a good smoke. Step 1: Make sure you have everything. The hookah, the pipe, flavor, coal, foil, a candle, tongs, a pin and filters if needed. Step 2: Ensure that the hookah is clean and dry and the pipe is not clogged. Step 3: Remove the top part or stem of the hookah and keep it aside. Fill the base of the hookah with 3 parts water, 1 part ice. The base should be filled 3/4 way up. Put the stem of the hookah back on to the base and secure it properly. Check that the pipe of the stem is submerged in the water (about an inch deep). Attach the smoking pipe and leave aside. Step 4: For the flavor, take a square piece of foil and place the shiny part down. Take the flavors of your choice and mix them together (about a tablespoon of each if it is just 2 flavors) on the foil. Step 5: Remove the clay pot from the top of the hookah and put the flavor in it. You will notice that the pot has tiny holes in it and with a pin, loosen the flavor around these holes. Finally, make a gap in the middle of the flavor and pat it down so that it evenly spreads across the mouth of the pot. Turn the foil over and wrap it around the pot tightly. Step 6: With the pin, make tiny holes in the foil in a circular motion. Make sure there are more holes near the center and fewer towards the outer part of the pot. Place the pot back on the hookah tightly. Step 7: Burn the candle and take a piece of coal and using the tongs, burn it. When it is burning, place the coal on the foil and start smoking. Enjoy!
