Sheesha Tips

• Shiny side of the foil should be facing down
• Water should only be 1 - 1.5 inches over the pipe
• Need grommets to keep all components of the pipe air tight. If you are missing a grommet, wet a paper towel and wrap it around the leak
• Use all stems of the tobacco, stems have the most flavour. Cut up large pieces. If the tobacco is too juicy, squeeze it.
• Sprinkle tobacco into the bowl dont pack it tightly. this will help with air flow. Also, put a pencil width hole in the centre of the tobacco to help with ventilation
• Put an ice cube in the water base
• the more holes in the foil the better but keep them small. Even finished, take foil off and loosen the tobacco from the foil. Rewrap.
• PLace coal around the edge of the ceramic bowl. No. of coals depends on type of coal you use. Slowly move the coal to the centre of the bowl when outside tobacco has burnt. 
• If tobacco is too hot, use two sheets of foil
• Gently blow smoke through hose once in a while to release smoke from water base
• Use different hoses for different flavour groups
• Don't wash your hose with water unless its meant to be. Otherwise just blow away the particles. 
• Too harsh? Take off some coal, change the tobacco. Poke smaller holes in foil
• Not enough smoke? Put less water in base. Make sure its air tight
