How to Smoke Shisha for the First Time
Today’s topic is focused on how to Smoke Shisha for the First Time – and enjoy the Hookah Experience 😉
First-things-first; a bit of terminology. Shisha is the tobacco. At Tuah Australia we supply only the best husk, Shisha Flavours. The Hookah is the instrument used to smoke your shisha. It’s often the setup of the Hookah which frightens people. Today we will teach you how to smoke shisha first time as a beginner. We are going to take away the mystery & make your Hookah Experience positive.
Setting up your Hookah
1) Remove the Stem (metal tube) from the vase (water tank).
2) Pour water into the vase. Return the Stem, ensuing it is 1 to 1.5cm submerged in the water.
3) To ensure a good blend of juice and flavour, always mix the two before placing in the bowl.
4) Select your favorite Shisha flavour and fill the Shisha bowl, making sure not to over fill.
5) Place your Heat Management Device (HMD) onto the bowl, choosing your HMD fits perfectly placed on your Shisha bowl.
Pack the flavour compactly into the bowl and not too loosely. Less is more
Pack the flavour in the bowl firmly. Make space around the bowl by creating a doughnut shape with a poker or toothpick. This will help the heat flow evenly through the tobacco.
Place your Heat Management Device (HMD) onto the bowl. Make sure the flavor does not touch the HMD
See the embers are red-hot
Use just two coals or 2.5 coals for optimum heat to prevent burning the flavour, which will make the shisha less flavorful and can make it taste bad.
Shisha Charcoals are red-hot, move to the Heat Management Device
When the Shisha Charcoals are hot, move to the Heat Management Device so that the embers heat up the Shisha head bowl and release the flavour and aroma.
Put the lit back on the HMD for about 5 minutes to heat up the shisha flavour. Take out the cover once it has warmed up and you can enjoy your hookah experience.
Tuah Shisha flavours have a certain heat point. If the charcoal is too hot, it will burn the flavours, so it’s important not to let the charcoal get too hot.
While all Hookah’s perform in the same way, there are two main types of Shisha Bowls. Funnel & Egyptian. Below are links to our Youtube Channel demonstrating the difference between a Shisha Funnel Bowl & a Shisha Egyptian Bowl:

The quality of your Shisha is vital. Stale or poor-quality shisha equals an unpleasant taste. Here at Tuah Australia, our Shisha is vacuum packed, ensuring with the correct storage, you’ll have fresh and tasty shisha for your next Hookah party.
Tips for ensuring a successful Hookah experience.
Use Ice and Cold water – The colder the water, the fresher the experience.
Fresh Tobacco is Key – “fresh is best” is just as true for shisha. Tuah Australia has a variety of Shisha flavours ensuring you an amazing shisha experience.
Blow Some Air into the Pipe – Smoke gets trapped inside and if not replaced can become stale.
Hookah Pipes – You must always use quality hookah pipes.
Just Use Enough Tobacco – don’t put too much.
Go for Natural Coal – For a fresher natural taste, always go for natural coal. You’ll find our Tuah Coals for sale in the Products section.
Replace the Water – Always use fresh water for every new session.
Hookahs Should Taste Great – As you inhale, the sensation should be cool and calming, with your body feeling relaxed.
