Often, it is seen that despite having a high-quality hookah setup, many of the hookah enthusiasts are unable to enjoy the popular tobacco brands like Starbuzz. Apart from the setup, two key things play a significant role in your smoke. Together they, along with your packing technique, decide how your hookah session will turn out to be if it will be smooth and enjoyable or too harsh and awful.
- Packing Your Hookah with Starbuzz
First and foremost is the hookah bowl and how you are packing it with Starbuzz tobacco. There are around four major kinds of bowls. Below, we have shared a quick trick on how you can pack these kinds of bowls, so you get the best flavors out of your hookah. Let’s begin;
- Vortex Hookah Bowls. The most popular bowl for smoking Starbuzz. There is a spire in the middle with some holes around. Please take a little bit of Starbuzz tobacco and place it lightly around using your hand but not touching the top rim of the bowl. It is more like breaking the tobacco and sprinkling it. Now, use a toothpick to bring the tobacco away from the spire holes in the middle for better airflow.
- Phunnel Hookah Bowls. For extended smoke sessions and more smoke, Funnel bowls are ideal. Like the vortex bowl, use the sprinkling method to pack the bowl. Tap the tobacco lightly at the top to avoid it touching the foil.
- Egyptian Clay Hookah Bowls. These kinds of bowls have big holes at the bottom. The basic idea of packing Starbuzz tobacco is to break it to allow air. One should always go for a little amount of tobacco. Keep it around half an inch below the bowl rim.
- Alien Phunnel Hookah Bowls. Such bowls are shallow and hence hard to break the tobacco in. Therefore, you need to keep it as airy as possible. Pat it down a little, but don’t over-pack your bowl.
Once your bowl is packed with the right amount of tobacco and leveled out, it is time to top it with two layers of aluminum sheet. Keep its shiny side down and poke small holes around the edges as the tobacco content is less, too many holes along and end up burning the tobacco giving you a bad flavor. If you are using low heat, then you can always go for a few more holes. For the Egyptian bowl, poke it down to the bottom in the middle. If required, go from the underneath of the bowl to free the holes.
- Smoking Starbuzz
It is always best to start your smoke with low heat. Coconut coals like Coco Buzz and Coco Nara make a perfect choice for this. You can place two to three pieces of lighted coconut coals for one bowl but keep them at equal distance and towards the edge of the bowl. Once the coals burn half the way, turn them around. If you are using high heat, go for two pieces and don’t poke too many holes as it makes the smoke very harsh. Overall, it takes only a couple of minutes to load the bowl and depending on your personal preference; you need to use the coal.

How do you generally smoke your hookah? Probably, you cover the bowl with aluminum foil and packing it with your favorite tobacco flavors. Then you cover the bowl with aluminum foil and poke some holes, place some red-hot coals on the top of it. It is a traditional way to set up a hookah. However, over time hookah enthusiasts have noticed a few drawbacks like tasting coal in the tobacco, coals getting cold quickly. Above all, the tobacco doesn’t get as hot as you want it to be. All these issues lead Starbuzz to bring you NAR Head, a revolutionary HMD or Heat Management Device that intends to end all your hookah problems.
There are numerous high-quality Heat Management Systems in the market, but Starbuzz NAR Head HMD is much different from them. NAR Head got a heavy-duty and robust construction. It is meant to match up with any hookah bowl.
The biggest problem of traditional hookah-smoking style is that often the coal ashes get mixed in the tobacco. It gives out an awful bad coal taste. Moreover, there are some extra carcinogens. Starbuzz has finally won this challenge and modernized the way how one used to smoke a hookah. A great feature of NAR Head design is that instead of placing the airflow vents at the bottom, they are positioned on its sides. It prevents the coal ashes from getting down to the bowl.
Unlike any other HMD Starbuzz NAR Head facilitates instant smoking sessions as you can put it on the burner along with your coals and heat them simultaneously. It saves you the time you generally spent waiting for the tobacco to get heated after placing the coals inside the HMD. Moreover, once warmed, the NAR Head can go on for several session without heating it once again.
Every hookah smoker has his preference; some like it cold while some prefer it hot, and it often becomes difficult to assess the temperature. So, Starbuzz added a thermostat to the NAR Head top that gives you the exact reading of the heat inside. When you know how hot it is, you can easily control it. Starbuzz took care of that also – there are some air vents on the top that you can open and shut as per your liking. If it got too scorching hot for you, open the vents. If you need some more heat to your tobacco, close them but use a flat tong. Just keep an eye on the thermostat at the top of NAR head, and you are good.
Nobody wants a burn – no matter how careful you are, there is a risk to handle Heat Management Devices as they have blazing hot charcoals inside. For this reason, Starbuzz included two datable handles to it. You can easily screw it in singlehandedly. When not required, remove them. You can use it as soon as you take it out of the box.
Starbuzz is glad to bring you this innovative Heat Management Device and revolutionize your sessions. Get your Starbuzz NAR Head today and enjoy nothing but the pure taste of your Hookah tobacco!
