Ingredients and Proportions
Shisha Mix
- 50% Starbuzz Vintage Honey Dew Me
- 50% Fumari Ambrosia
- Optional: Adjust to 50% Honey Dew Me, 30% Ambrosia, and 20% Fumari Guava or White Peach for a lighter, fruitier profile.
Equipment Needed
- Hookah with a clean vase filled with cold water and ice cubes
- Kaloud Lotus heat management device or similar HMD
- Natural coconut coals (preferably Kaloud Aura or CocoBrico Lotus Cut)
- Tongs for coal handling
- Toothpick or small tool for airflow holes
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Hookah Base
- Fill the vase with cold water and a few ice cubes, leaving about 1 inch of space from the stem for bigger clouds and richer flavor. For a wider-stem hookah, go up to 1.5 inches.
- Assemble the hookah securely.
-
Heat the Coals
- Light 2–3 natural coconut coals until they are glowing red. If using Kaloud Aura, go for 3 pieces. For CocoBrico Lotus Cut, 2 pieces are perfect.
- Place the coals on a stove or burner while you prepare the bowl.
-
Pack the Bowl
- Divide the bowl mentally into four quadrants.
- Start with 50% Starbuzz Vintage Honey Dew Me packed in two opposite quadrants (at 6 and 12 o’clock).
- Add 50% Fumari Ambrosia to the remaining two quadrants (at 3 and 9 o’clock).
- If using a third flavor, adjust proportions to 50% Honey Dew Me, 30% Ambrosia, and 20% White Peach or Guava, placing the lighter shisha slightly on top of the darker ones for contrast.
- Lightly press the shisha down, ensuring it doesn’t touch the heat management device (HMD). Use a toothpick to poke small airflow holes.
-
Heat the HMD
- Place the Kaloud Lotus (or similar HMD) on the stove for about 1 minute to preheat. Be careful not to overheat it, as this could burn the tobacco.
-
Assemble and Heat
- Place the HMD on the bowl and add 2 coals across from each other. Close the Lotus lid completely.
- Let it sit for 2–3 minutes as the flavors and heat settle.
-
Begin Smoking
- Take a few slow, gentle puffs to get the smoke flowing.
- After 4 minutes, rotate the Lotus lid to open it completely, allowing more airflow. Ensure the coals are centered and not touching the edges.
-
Maintain and Enjoy
- Rotate the coals every 20–30 minutes to keep the heat consistent.
- Savor the smooth, refreshing flavors of Olympus Nectar and let the blend transport you to new heights of hookah enjoyment.
