Why Does My Hookah Taste Bad?

Experiencing a bad taste while smoking hookah can be quite frustrating, and several factors can contribute to this unpleasant sensation. The taste of your hookah session can be affected by various elements, including the quality of your shisha tobacco, the cleanliness of your hookah, the condition of your hookah hose, and even the heat management during the smoking process. Understanding and addressing these factors is essential for ensuring an enjoyable and flavorful hookah experience.

Here are the several factors that you can consider for your bad taste in hookah:

1. Bad flavor/bad mix flavor

The hookah flavor can have a difference in each brand. Because they have different materials specifications and different materials quality. Maybe these are the factors that you can consider. You can check your shisha flavor specifications and also check the brand flavor reviews from other customers that used it. Or maybe there are also some possibilities for you to not like the flavors.

2. Using quick lights charcoals

If you still use chemicals quick lighting charcoals, I recommend you stop using it. And start to use coconut charcoal briquettes because on the side of medicine, making the switch to coconut charcoal briquettes can also greatly improve your quality of hookah experience.

Let’s talk about the flavor aspect, with quick lighting charcoal, because it has chemicals, it will make the flavor of your hookah decrease and not be fresh. And it can diminish your smoking quality and taste. For the health aspect or medication aspect, quick lighting charcoal has toxic gases and emits more carbon monoxide. It’s also not good for your health, especially for the smokers and also the people around you, or even kids and babies.

So are coconut charcoal briquettes safe?
The answer is yes if there are no chemicals around them. Coconut charcoal briquettes are also safer because they have less ash content, so they will be safe for food and your house from burning out. They contain no smoke and odor. With no smoke, the carbon monoxide will be less and healthier for your breathing. This product is also environmentally friendly. If you care about contributing to a greener and better world, coconut charcoal briquettes can save trees. The filler from coconut charcoal briquettes, like tapioca flour, is safe and not containing any other gas or causing the food to go bad. This is the reason why shisha smokers love it as their smoke fuel, and also this product is starting to reach the grill market because it gives more safety and still brings high-quality to their food.

A. Have no odor/smell, favorite for grilling and shisha users.

3. Partially lit charcoal (only some parts of the charcoal are burnt)


With partially lit charcoal in your bowl, it gives a bad taste because the charcoal is not burnt evenly, and the heat is not transferred optimally. Make sure you burn it evenly. To burn charcoal, if you use a stove, it takes about 5-6 minutes. You should also flip the charcoal until every part turns white. If there is still black on one side, then the charcoal is not ready.

4. Dirty stem, hose, and vase


This can also be a factor for your bad taste of hookah. Most people also feel that these factors are common problems that they encounter. If your hookah is not cleaned routinely, the hookah parts can be dirty and also corroded. This can make the hookah flavor taste bad and also be unhealthy. Make sure to clean the hookah routinely and dry it, so that the moisture will not cause corrosion. Wash it every time after you use the hookah, and wipe it clean until it dries with a soft scrubber. Make sure you also wipe it in the details spots.

5. Un-optimum

temperature
If your hookah tastes bad, you can analyze and consider your bowl heat. Sometimes this problem arises because the charcoal is not staying on the bowl long enough. So make sure you put and leave the charcoals long enough until the heat starts to transfer to your bowl to have a good taste experience of your hookah.

6. Overheat

Also, make sure the bowl is not overheated because an overheated bowl can also contribute to a bad taste of the hookah. If your bowl starts to become too hot, you can lift the charcoal from the bowl to allow the temperature to decrease.
