Frost Citrus Mix
Ice Citrus Mint contains menthol (bp 212C), WS-3 cooling agent, limonene (bp 176C) — key aromatic compounds that define its character. Coconut relies on gamma-nonalactone, delta-octalactone, massoia lactone for its signature profile. The interplay between these compounds creates a layered sensory experience at standard hookah temperatures of 190-220C.

Heat Management Steps
- Start with 3 coals on edges of HMD
- After 5 min, check flavor balance and adjust heat
- Rotate coals every 10-12 min for even heating
- Remove 1 coal if any harshness develops
Monitor flavor balance — if Ice Citrus Mint disappears, heat may be too uneven (rotate coals). Strong tobacco can cause harsh hits above 215C.
Warmup
