You have an air valve on your hookah? Of course. Upon opening it up you will see the ball bearing in the small cup. Keep in mind that the ball bearing you have might be too small for the valve, too big, smooth or roughly hewn.If it is not smooth, you’ll be getting soot quickly attaching and it blocks the valve. Clean it off but better to buy some smooth balls of the correct size. ¬†The main reason for the valve is that as you inhale on the hose, the ball bearing is sucked down and closes thepotential leak. When you have too much smoke their, it releases it.

What happens if you ¬† feel the smoke getting temporarily too harsh or strong to inhale? could be you are using too much coal-heat. Try using less coal. Take some off. You should use the air valve to blow off extra heat and smoke. I do this¬† quite often, especially when I am smoking, writing the blog and resting the hose. The smoke is there in the bowl quickly getting stale.¬† Blow lightly into the hose to get the stale¬† smoke out, to cool off your smoke also.“Whata?”

I have just the idea for you if you are going camping or to the beach. That you will bring your hookah along is a given.

But messing with packing shisha, having it get hot and drip or the clay bowl break is a B.

There is a nice invention called¬† “Mabruk” (Welcome).

Its a ready made shisha bowl with the foil, holes and shisha already there. The ammount of shisha is around 22 grams and smokes easily for an hour. 2 quick lighting charcoals of great quality are included. There are cherry and double-apple flavours available. The shisha is very “wet” and clean of tobacco stems.

It just makes life less messy and easier camping out when you’ll need to spend your time playing tag with the mosquitos.

Ahhhh! Eilat in Israel at the north of the Red Sea. I worked there in 1974 and moved to a communal farm 51 kilometers north in the desert. (Same beautiful Moab Mountain Range). For 3 years I never got tired of the mountains r

eflecting the suns rays and the show as they went from pink to purple in evening.

Hookah smoking is enjoyed not just by young dawgs like you.

Here are some geezers a bit older than myself in Amman,Jordan. I wonder what the restaurant charged them for a smoke???¬†I couldn’t upload a larger photo. hopefully you can click on it and it will enlarge. (But then, you’ve seen senior citizens before no? Just use the old imagination.

There are tons of DIY and “how to do it” hookah videos, shisha reviews or just a group of giggly young college girls smoking hookah, trying to look cool¬†and cute ¬†all with the knowledge that the old biological clock is so prejudiced toward women.

Instead of what I did before i.e. download YouTube hookah  videos, there are so many now available I am going to let YOU go to YouTube and pick out your own fancy. Out of hundreds.
