There are many ways to start smoking hookah, and it largely depends on your preferences. If you're new to smoking hookah, it's best to start with a basic setup. This setup includes a hookah, coal, foil, and shisha tobacco or herbal shisha. Once you have your supplies, you'll need to set up your hookah. The first step is to fill the vase with water until about ¾ to 1” of water covers the bottom of your downstem. Next, pack your shisha into your hookah bowl. Put your natural charcoal on an electric coil burner until the entire coal is covered with a layer of gray ash. For quicklighting charcoal simply use an open flame, like a lighter, to ignite the coal accelerant and wait until the charcoal is completely done being lit. The shisha should take about five minutes to heat up. Once your shisha flavor is fully heated, you can start smoking your favorite Trifecta blend and inhale the deliciousness of all the unique flavors.
