Looking to prepare a perfect shisha at home? Whether you’re new to hookah or a seasoned smoker, this guide will help you enjoy a flavorful and smooth smoking experience. But if you’d rather skip the effort, come visit us at EZLounge,⠀, the best shisha studio in Tartu, located at Soola 1a.
1. Start with Water: The Foundation of Good Shisha
A tasty hookah begins with properly filled water in the base.
- Use only clean water — skip milk or alcohol as they cause headaches and ruin the flavor.
- The downstem should be submerged 3 cm into the water for the optimal draw.
Pro Tip: Mark your water level on the base once you find the sweet spot for future convenience.

2. Preparing and Packing the Tobacco
- Fluff the tobacco after removing it from the pack. This step ensures proper airflow and enhances flavor.
- Use a fork for clean and precise packing — it’s the quickest way to prepare your shisha bowl like a pro.
For a stronger session: Try the Overpack method, which works well with heat-resistant tobaccos like Nakhla.

3. Heat Management: Foil vs. Kalooud
Foil:
- Use 2-3 layers of tightly stretched foil.
- Poke small holes evenly with a needle or skewer, leaving the center untouched.
Kalooud:
- A heat management device ensures even heating and smoother smoke. If you want to skip the trial-and-error, Kalooud is the way to go!

4. Choosing the Right Charcoal
For the best results, always use coconut charcoal. It provides:
- Consistent heat.
- Long-lasting performance.
- A clean taste without any chemical residue.
Tip: Heat your charcoal until it’s glowing red and place it around the edges of the bowl, not in the center.
5. Let the Bowl Preheat
Once the charcoal is placed, allow your bowl to heat for 4-5 minutes. This step ensures the tobacco warms evenly, producing thick clouds and a smooth draw.
