Starting Your Hookah
  Now we move on to the rest of the setup.
 
  • Get out the items from the fridge and freezer.
  • Pour the ice water into the base, up to 1 1/2 inches above the bottom of where the stem will be (differs from hookah to hookah)
  • Put together the hookah: Stem into base, Hose into hose port, bowl on top. (some hookahs have more to do)
  • Give a test pull on the hose with your hand covering the bowl to make sure that the hookah is air tight.
  • Light your coal, however you light them. Tips for each below.
  • Place the coal on top, and do some pulls to get the hookah going.
  • As with packing the bowl, heat management differs slightly from screens and foil.
  Screen :
 
  • Start with the coal directly over the center.
  • Once you get smoke, move the coal out to the outer edges.
  • Once the outside of the coal is almost fully covered in white ash, take coal off into the tray and knock off the ash.
  • Place the coal back onto the bowl, once again on the outer edge, but move it around the bowl in a circular patterns once you put it back on.
  • Just keep ash-In and rotating till you go all around the bowl. Once the coal dies, place a fresh one over the center, and that should last till you are done.
  Foil :
 
  • Star with 1 coal on the edge, and half a coal (for quick lights, varies for natural) in the center, and get the hookah going good.
  • Ash the coal, and as you do move it around the smaller center piece.
  • Once the center of the coal is burned out, move the rest of whole coal onto center, and light the other half of the broken coal.
  • Rotate the broken coal around the edge of the bowl, working it like you first did the large one.
  • Once both are done, just keep a fresh coal and move it to where needed.
