Low Flavor
I’m currently struggling to get proper flavor out of my hookah and hoped someone here might have some advice.
My setup:
- Invi Tesseract & Nargilem NPS
- Bowls: Japona Mummy and Samsaris Lapis
- HMD: Kaloud 2
- Tobacco: African Queen (freshly opened and thoroughly mixed)
- Coals: 26mm Coco coals
The issue:
The smoke is dense, smooth, and doesn’t scratch at all — but the flavor is extremely weak. I’ve also noticed the same problem with other tobacco brands/flavors, so it doesn’t seem to be specific to African Queen.
I pack the bowl fluffy and loosely, making sure the tobacco barely doesn’t touch the HMD.
I’ve already experimented a bit with heat management, but without much improvement.
Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
Too little heat? Too much? Packing issue? Maybe airflow related? Or am I overlooking something obvious?
I’d appreciate any tips.
