How to Load a Hookah Bowl?

1. The Basics
   You will be introduced to the basics of setting up and proper packing of the bowl for a flavorful and cloud full smoking session in this blog. But first, you should know that on average hookah bowl is designed to hold about 20g to 25g of shisha tobacco breeze ice. This translates approximately into 20g to 25g of shisha tobacco or 2 to 3 tablespoons full of shisha.

2. Even Up Hookah Tobacco
   The next thing you should do is break up the tobacco clearing out large clumps if any. The more loose and broken up shisha the more evenly it will be able to pass the hot air throughout, this will result in better exposure of tobacco leaves to the heat. This is a vital step as maintaining an even heat level throughout the shisha bowl ensures there is great smoke as well as taste.

3. Packing of Bowl
   You should fill the shisha bowl just below the rim level. Ideally speaking you should leave a small space between the foil and the tobacco. You can additionally go for a heat management device. That helps in keeping the heat to an optimum level. Generally speaking, it's all about just dispersing the airflow uniformly throughout the shisha and the surface.

4. Poking Holes in Your Hookah Foil
   Here once you have secured the foil tightly the goal is to simply punch as small as possible holes into the foil. This is again for the hot air to diffuse throughout the shisha in a gentle and even manner. If you are aiming for larger holes, punching only a few of them will suffice. As the larger, the holes provide more intensity of hot air in the bowl. This will shoot up the overall temperature. Heat management is a tricky affair and discovering the ideal heat for each brand is something that takes time. Nonetheless, the best thing to do is, to begin with, less heat and then carry forward with adding more as required. This way it is much easier, as it is easy to add heat to a cool bowl as compared to cooling off and revive it to the optimum.
