How To Prepare Nargile(Hookah-Water Pipe)

Hello readers and wellcome back with the part II of the Nargile(Hookah or Water Pipe). So as we talked about how to buy a nargile and the key points of nargile. So i'll try to explain how to prepare nargile as simple as possible. And when i reviewed my first article, i found out that i forgot to mention about the coal,which is one of the key figures of nargile. So here we gonna talk about the coal and coal choise. First of all the coal used for nargile is generally made out of "fruit deeds". So when choosing coal for nargile it would be very sound to choose "fruit made" coals. Here on the picture here you can see the coal which i use @ home;
Ok i have to admit that i'm not using fruit made one. But the reason for this is not the qu
ality.It's just I'm too lazy to go and buy fruit made one. So as a lazy person i bought this coal four days ago from a corner shop very close to my neighbourhood. The
 main point on to use  coal is to make it as hot as possible.  Maybe the most importatn point if
 you are a home user of nargile, how to burn the coal? So here's my suggestion with a picture. Simply divide you coal pieces to smaller pieces(but pay attention if you make them too small they will becoma dust after some certain heating up) and put them in to a metalic plate. Then put the plate on the the fire. This will co
ver the dust which falls from the coals and you will not have to clean after you burn some coal for your narigle. So here's the proper picture the technique
 
i use to burn my coals.


So as you can see here the pieces of the coal is not so big. After putting your plate to fire we may continue to prepare the other stuff for our nargile. At this part we will put our tobacco to our lüle(i hope you remember the equipments of nargile). The key fact when putting your tobacco to your lüle is, the amount of tobacco you put to your nargile shouldn't be so less or too much..just the ideal. And the also when other fact it don't push your tobacco(or press) as this will avoid it to have air inside lüle,which will cause nargile not to work. So on the picture here i'll show you how i put my tobacco to lüle.  In this example i mixed two types of tobacco together. I used apple and mint flavour together. Now the questions should begin to appear in minds as i told before that, mixing tobaccos are not good for the taste. But in this situation mint only gives refreshment to nargile which provides better taste.But i don't suggest to mix strong flavours as it would be a disasterous experince of nargile for you. On the picture here you can what apple tobacco looks like. And here on the other picture you can see tobacco inside lüle. The green ones you are seeing are mint flavoured tobacco. 
After putting our tobacco to our lüle like in the picture(by the way our coal is still on the fire and must be begenning to burn) it's time to cover it with aluminium. We must cover our lüle with aluminium to protect our tobacco from direct heat as it will help our tobacco to long last and make it possible to smoke our nargile. You must cover your lüle as tight as
 possible. And if the aluminium is too t
hin you can cover your lüle twice. So here we go with the how to cover our lüle with aluminum. After covering lüle, you must put some small holes to aluminium as to make it provide air to make coal burn and also tobacco to burn. Now it's time to put some water to our bottle. It would be a good idea to put water till to the neck of the bottle. Because if you put less your filter won't work and if you put too much it would not work either. So till to the neck of the bottle would be a sound chooice.

So as you can see i put water till to the neck of the bottle :)
So as we proceed we are almost to finalise our preparation of nargile. After our coals got enough hot this means we are ready to smoke our nargile. In the picture you can see the ideal form of coal. And we are ready to smoke our nargile.. Enjoy your nargile :)
