Why Melon Blast Stands Out

What sets Melon Blast apart is its intricate layering technique, which ensures each puff delivers a dynamic mix of flavors. The fruity sweetness of pineapple guava and ambrosia pairs perfectly with the creamy vanilla, while the bold peppermint shake adds a refreshing kick that ties everything together. This is a flavor journey that goes way more than a simple recipe.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Assemble Your Hookah
  • Set up your hookah with a water base and a phunnel bowl for even heat distribution and to prevent juice leakage. Make sure everything is clean and properly assembled.
  1. Prepare the Flavors
  • Mix 40% Trifecta Pineapple Guava and 40% Fumari Ambrosia by hand. This mixture should be fluffy yet slightly dense to maintain proper airflow.
  • Combine 5% Starbuzz Exotic Vanilla and 5% Adalya Love 66 separately and set aside.
  • Pack 10% Trifecta Peppermint Shake tightly. It should be dense and sit slightly higher than the other mixes when packed in the bowl.
  1. Layer the Bowl
  • Start by placing the pineapple guava and ambrosia mix in the bowl as a base layer. Spread it evenly but keep it fluffy for optimal heat flow.
  • Add the vanilla and love 66 mix on top of the base layer, keeping it slightly more compact.
  • Finish with the peppermint shake, packed densely and overlapping the edges of the other mixes. This layering creates a complex flavor profile and ensures the peppermint provides a refreshing kick without overpowering the other flavors.
  1. Heat the Coals
  • Light 2 natural coconut coals until fully glowing (about 10 minutes).
  • Place the coals in your Kaloud Lotus heat management device and let it sit on the bowl for another 10 minutes to evenly distribute heat.
  1. Manage the Heat
  • The first draw may feel harsh due to the peppermint shake heating up faster. Don’t worry—this is part of the process.
  • Lift the heat management device slightly and blow gently on the shisha to balance the heat.
  • Continue smoking and adjusting the coals as needed until the harshness tones down, allowing the full flavor of Melon Blast to shine through.
  1. Enjoy the Melon Bliss
  • Once the flavors are perfectly balanced, sit back and savor the smooth, refreshing taste of Melon Blast. Each puff delivers a unique mix of fruity sweetness, creamy undertones, and a refreshing minty finish.
