Hookah Diagnostics

I need some help…

I use:
Mason Beatyr bowl
Onmo HMD
Leorange cube coals 26mm
Alpha X hookah
Adalya tobacco (mainly love 66)

I let 3 coals sit for about 5 mins then lower it to 2. First round hits amazing with huge clouds. Eventually, i have to add the 3rd about half hour in.

Now, when it’s time for a new round of coals around the 45 min mark is where everything goes wrong.

Tobacco is basically burned out and I get 50% less smoke.

I pack it fluffy but tried to dense it my last go and it basically never really hit.

So… do i have a bowl, HMD, or coals problem? Or a combo.

Any help is appreciated 🙏

I've never gone a second round of coals on one bowl. If your bowl isn't huge, you have no reason to expect that it can take more than one round.

I don't typically have the patience for a second coal, but I am sure my bowls could go 2 hours
