Mis primeras Alpaca Bowls

Thumbnail
gallery
10 Upvotes

I’m from the Dominican Republic, and the hookah culture here isn’t very developed yet. The most common things I see are silicone bowls and quick-light charcoal.

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from reading here, watching YouTube videos, and talking to people with more experience, I’ve realized I still have a lot to learn and that I need to step up my game a bit.

That’s why I decided to get these bowls. I used to smoke with a Kaloud using other clay bowls, but lately I’ve been trying to learn and experiment with different setups using a Provost and aluminum foil.

I’m still learning, so any advice, recommendations, or constructive criticism is more than welcome. 🙌

Seeking Advice Best material for a permanent hose?

3 Upvotes

So this isnt for a true hookah. Its for a tobacco smoking table pipe. It has a 48” food grade silicon hose and mouthpiece and it stinks to high heaven after a bowl. It does fade but it will run you out of the house before it does.

What are good hookah hoses made of? Does the strong ashtray smell in the hose also occur with hookahs? ANY help is appreciated

Discussion In search for that coconut tobacco craving.

3 Upvotes

As in the title, for some time me and my partner are feeling for some coconut flavored shisha. What are some of fan favorites/good tasting coconut or coconut + something flavored tobaccos where coconut takes the main role? So far we tried Darkside Bounty Hunter, but we feel like the taste of it is not that strong, fades quickly, and generally the tobacco smells way better than it tastes. Also have a Sebero Cookie Monster waiting to be tried. Anyway, the question still stands, what are the best available coconutty shishas on the market? Sell us on some of Your favorites. We generally prefer dark tobacco, but will consider blonde too.

Discussion What is the most important thing for you when choosing what bowl to buy or use?

8 Upvotes

Just curious what everyone's thoughts are when it comes to choosing the right bowl. Sometimes I pick bowls because they look nice other times I go for specifics like a killer.

Is there something you prioritize? Things that are deal breakers?

Best Bowl for AF & Mazzaya

3 Upvotes

I have a Cosmo Predator and Vandenberg V1 Bowls with AOT Provost 3 i tried the V1 but no matter what i do it burns so quickly with the cosmo it lasts over 2 hours maybe 2.5 with proper heat management but the flavor starts to fade maybe 1 hour 1.5 hours in.
Is there a specific trick for the V1 or is it just a very shallow bowl for the AF ? And am i doing something wrong with the Cosmo to cause the flavor to fade half way through ?
I use 25mm Coals on the cosmo usually i start with 2 it takes a while to heat up but it works okay and then after a bit i add a third coal.

Six Apples

My first three attempts at finding a good apple flavor 😐

Mixed them all together into one licoricey pile. It blends well with Sebero cranberry-pomegranate.

I wish flavors had better descriptions. None of these tastes like apple even a little bit. Doesn't even smell like apple.

Seeking Advice Is there real market demand for nicotine free hookah molasses?

5 Upvotes

I’ve been looking into the hookah‑molasses business lately and I’m curious about the future of nicotine‑free / herbal shisha.

I know plenty of people enjoy hookah for the flavour, smoke and social experience, but don’t want the nicotine hit. At the same time, many zero‑nicotine options out there get mixed reviews — complaints about weak smoke, poor flavour, short burn time.

Just want to open a discussion with this community:

‑ Do you buy or would you try zero‑nicotine hookah molasses?

‑ What are your biggest pain points with existing nicotine‑free products? (smoke volume, taste, burn duration, price)

‑ Who do you think would be the main buyers? Casual users, people cutting down nicotine, hookah‑lounge owners?

‑ Do you think it could become a bigger segment in the market, or will it stay niche?

I’m also talking to suppliers on this product line, so I’d love to hear real‑world user perspectives. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I bought a stainless steel OWL hmd today and I need some advice. I’ve never used one before, just foil for 16+ years, and I wanted to give it a try. My bowls are all funnel and I was wondering about the holes. Do I poke it how I usually do, more/less holes, different way of poking?

PS: I included a pic of the holes I make
