Does the amount of shisha have an effect on the amount of smoke? I have a Mya Chic and its not putting out the smoke I want. I have not used it in a group setting, but rather a single sitting, this said I have not been filling the bowl to its potential but rather enough to keep me busy for 30 mins to an hour. Would this be the cause of little smoke? I have my pipe sitting in a half inch of water. Thanks.

I have a hookah pipe with a particularly deep bowl… do I have to fill this to the rim? what is the best way of using this hookah pipe?

Hey Tiffany, great question! While drying the tobacco between paper towels won’t hurt it, that wet stuff actually helps the tobacco smoke more, and more evenly. If the tobacco is too dry, it may burn more easily. I usually leave the “shisha juice” on the tobacco, and many smokers even mix it into the tobacco before smoking!

Sometimes the tobacco is very wet, do you recommend drying it between paper towels before smoking or is it okay to use when wet. What is the difference?
