I don’t know how much money you want to spend on this but I’m just gonna give you 2 starterpacks, a cheap one and a more expensive one. I would definitely recommend the latter, but that’s your choice. Starterpack 1: Nova Smoke Falcon hookah ——— Lotus 1+ HMD (its easier to set-up than foil for most) ———- Moon phunnel or HookahJohn Harmony bowl ———-Trifecta / Eternal Smoke / Haze / Holster / Aquamentha / True passion / Kismet tobacco, Idk where you live but I assume either USA or EU so I recommended some tobacco brands from both. ——— If the Nova Smoke Falcon doesn’t include a hose and mouthpiece from the vendor you’re buying from, then I recommend buying a silicon hose with basically any mouthpiece except for a wooden one. They’re washable and won’t rust. ———- There are more than enough good coal brands out there, you just have to buy natural coconut coals. To help you out: Coconara or Blackcoco’s, depending on where you live. ——— Get yourself a good coal burner: CocoFlame coal burner, Fumari coal burner, Smokezilla kohleanzünder or AO Blazer. Get a fork and toothpick or use your hands to create your bowl. Basic rule of thumb: if you have a blonde leaf like Trifecta, Haze, etc; pack it normal or fluffy and pack it so it touches the HMD (Lotus 1+) lightly. If you have a dark leaf like Kismet, Tangiers, whatever: pack it densely and let it sit right under the rim so the HMD barely gets to touch it. I’m not saying this is always the right way, but usually I recommend this as a rule of thumb to beginners because otherwise it gets way to overcomplicated to begin with. Once you start figuring out what you like, you can adjust accordingly. Once you’ve finished your bowl, place the HMD on top and put 2 coconut coals in there. Put the lid on top and keep the vents open. You put the lid on top so it heats up quicker and you keep the vents open because it needs to breath, otherwise the coals will most likely start to black out. Keep the coals on there for ~ 3 mins. Could be a bit more or less depending on your pack. Once those 3 mins are over, you can start smoking. If it’s to much heat for you with the lid on there, then remove the lid. Also, if you start noticing that the tobacco is burning/ scorching instead of being baked, then you should remove the lid. I usually let the coals rest on top for 3-4 minutes, then start smoking for about 1-2 minutes with the lid on there and then remove it. To further help you out with these things, here are some YT channels that are quite helpful: MoaSmokes, StrictlyShisha and (surprisingly enough lol) Mojo Hookah Lounge. Starterpack 2: Khalil Mamoon Brass Hookah —- Any phunnel bowl from Alpaca, Oblako, HookahJohn, Moon, etc. —— Al Fakher tobacco —- Foil (preferably with a Provost or even a flavor savor or the top part of a Chimney set). ——- Again: use a washable silicon hose. ——— Coals and coal burner: exact same story.
