In this guide, the focus is on how to make a perfect smoking hookah with DarkSide tobacco for beginners and for experienced smokers. The process shown is simple, readable, and aimed at getting lots of smoke, lots of clouds, and lots of flavor.
The first hookah prepared here is the Oblako Phunnel M. It is made for a lighter session with DarkSide tobacco, and the video also shows an upgrade bowl style that gives a stronger effect while still keeping pure flavor.
First Bowl: Oblako Phunnel M for a Lighter Session
The first hookah prepared is the Oblako Phunnel M. It is made for a lighter session with Russian shisha Dark Side tobacco. On a scale from one to ten, it is about four to four and a half.
It is not hard to pack. You just put the tobacco in there and straighten it up with a fork. The mix used here is DarkSide tobacco made from Red Tea, Supernova, and some Cola.
- Put the tobacco in.
- Use a fork to straighten the level of the tobacco.
- Do not let any of the tobacco touch the HMD or the aluminium foil on top of the bowl.
The fork is described as ideal for straightening the level of the tobacco. After leveling it, the packing is like a fluffy up to semi-dense pack. With this style, it will have a lot of smoke, lots of clouds, and lots of flavor.
It is ready to smoke like this. If you have some American bowls like this or some deeper funnels, it should be good to go.
Upgrade Bowl Style with Dark Side Tobacco
An upgrade bowl prepared from a standard bowl is also shown. With Dark Side tobacco, the preferred method is packing it with a fluffy up to semi-dense packing.
This style has lots and lots of smoke, lots of clouds, and also a pure flavor. The flavor is not getting destroyed by overheating or something like that, which some people are afraid of when using upgrade bowls.
When prepared like this, it will smoke perfectly, it will be full of flavor, and you can experience a lighter buzz effect. On a scale of one to ten, this would be like six to six and a half. For some people it might even be a seven, but the preferred rating given is six.
How to Finish the Pack
- Level it up with a poker.
- Make a hole in the middle so the airflow would be better.
- After that, the bowl is ready to smoke.
Heating and Smoking
After the shisha bowl is packed, some coals are heated. The hookah shown is prepared with four coconut coals in the HMD, and it is left for about five minutes to heat up itself. After that, it is ready to smoke.
As shown, the clouds are okay and the flavor is top-notch. This packing is a little heavier on you, so it is recommended to drink something sweet like Coke, Pepsi, or Fanta, something like that, to cope better with the nicotine and with the oxygen reduction in your body.
What to Expect
- The Oblako Phunnel M gives a lighter session.
- The strength is about 4 to 4.5 out of 10 for the first bowl.
- The upgrade bowl style gives a stronger effect.
- The strength there is about 6 to 6.5 out of 10, and for some people maybe 7.
- Both styles aim for lots of smoke, clouds, and flavor.
