acer910 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 wow, search function actually worked for once. i ordered a hookah of my own as soon as i realized in 2 weeks the moiney i spent at the hokah bar could have bought me a new hookah. anyways, anyone know some good mixes? my favorite for now is strawberry with a bit of mint. will post pics of my tiny hookah (ordered a 10 incher) when it arrives (should be tomorrow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAR Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I'm okay with just green or spiced apple. Vanilla's not bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_gacy Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yeah, I’ve heard of that kaat stuff. My granddad used to chew on this stuff called ‘jorda’ in India. In Taiwan, my friend was telling me that they chew a thing called Bin Lang. All of these give you a buzz. As for shisha, you guys have any sorts of favourite flavours? I can’t recall what my favourite so far is, but I did like the apple. I live in a neighborhood w/ this shit everywhere. I'm not a tobacco smoker so it seems kind of boring to me to sit around in these places smoking that shit. If it was weed or hash, cool. Grape seems to be the predominant scent I smell around these places. As for Taiwan and Bin Lang, it's a nut, called a Betel Nut. Mainly cabbies and truck drivers, etc., chew them for the buzz to stay awake. They stain your mouth red and cause cancer. It looks like red bird shit when you see where people spit while chewing. The only good thing, it's sold by scantily clad hot Asian girls: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 lol^ has anyone tried putting different things in the vase? i heard if you put some milk in with water it makes the smoke thicker and if you put various juices and stuff in there it will change the taste.

|O__________o|-robojones Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 anyways, anyone know some good mixes? my favorite for now is strawberry with a bit of mint. mango/apricot passion fruit/lime/peach coconut/apple horchata/strawberry lemon/pomagranite coconut mixes well with everything but tends to be a bit harsh alone and that betel nut made me think of dune Taiwan cab driving mentats lol^ has anyone tried putting different things in the vase? i heard if you put some milk in with water it makes the smoke thicker and if you put various juices and stuff in there it will change the taste. it mainly has alot to do with what type of coals used and the size of holes on the screen under it. i generally keep a minimum of 30 punctures in an ovoid shape with a safety pin when i have ice in the water. and if there isnt ice i make about 20 larger punctures older picture of the one i use with guests when i get a new camera i'll post the one i use daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 lemon/pomegranite sounds like the shit. is the coconut flavor anything like real coconuts? i cant fucking stand the taste of coconuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|O__________o|-robojones Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 its more like filler if you mix it with a stronger flavor that you dont have enough of. horchata just aint right...its up there with horchata shasta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B!G D Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 At my local hookah bar their most popular flavor, and one of my favs, is Blue Haze Shits dope.. Like blueberrys, with marshmellow and raspberries. Dont know if its a homemade combo or what so dont consider those the "ingredients" but i'll ask the next time i'm in there. Just sayin if you come across that flavor to buy/try, you wont be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bation Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 if you dont mind spendin a lil more, buy StarBuzz shisha. its the best. mad flavors. if you mix strawberry and watermelon it tastes like a jolly rancher. heres a website to peep the flavors http://www.hookahlounge.net/starbuzz.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 ive seen that stuff. i just go for the 3.95 tubs of "hookah hookah" haha. if im feeling fancy il smoke al-fahker however its spelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|O__________o|-robojones Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 some have the wind cover but most people i know that use hookahs as they are supposed to be used stick with foil. since you can press the coal down. the way most sheesha burns is from the middle out while boiling in an average packed bowl. so if you are cheap like me and use foil, you want to keep the holes even so you can move the coal around while keeping in mind that the ash from the coal will fall in and mix with the burning sheesha and has an effect on how coarse the smoke is before it is filtered by the water jar... so thats why you'd want to keep the holes small http://www.hookahcompany.com/hookah_setup.htm http://www.wikihow.com/Make-the-Best-Hookah-for-a-Pleasurable-Smoke http://www.southsmoke.com/hookah101.cfm http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&source=hp&q=how+to+hookah&oq=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=7BSCS-OiNY_jnAeJkuHUBw&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=5&ved=0CCIQqwQwBA# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KILZ FILLZ Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 As for shisha, you guys have any sorts of favourite flavours? I can’t recall what my favourite so far is, but I did like the apple.

Rolf Harris Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 a friend of mine has a few hookahs. the last one we smoked with bubblegum flavoured shit. i don't think it was tobacco though, he said something about it being crushed sugar along with something else. but that wasn't as great as the other flavours people have mentioned. actually it was pretty fuckin' rank now i think aboot it. he's got a couple of really nice ones that i'll need to get flicks of to show everyone.

GLEN BENTON Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 i had a hookah for a minute... burned the fuck out of my carpet dropping the hot coals. hash is whats up in those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 dont smoke that "hydro herbal molasses" stuff, its harsh as hell on the exhale ad it overpowers whatever you mix it with. plus sinc its 100percent herbal it doesnt give you a buzz, you have to mix it. tried apricot starbuzz for the first time today, the hookah place didnt have change for my 20 so i just told them to give me 10 in shisha and they gave me some starbuzz. its way expensive for a tin but is waaaaaaaaayyyy worth it. and apricot is by far the best flavor in my opinion.

Pew_Pew_Pew Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Best place online to get hookahs is http://www.saharasmoke.com I bought a small hookah for around $20 and it came with a custom bag, free hole punch, free flavor of shisha, free calendar, plastic mouth pieces, all that jazz. They're super fast with the shipping, you don't have to wait. Their hookah-hookah shisha is the bomb. Grape is my favorite so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 There's a strip of hooka bars a few blocks over I'll check out every once in a while. I like the apple and other flavors but usually go for the straight tobacco and always smoke herbals before going in. What kind of sucks is NYC has an indoor smoking ban, most of the places have a patio outside. In the winter they'll sometimes say fuck it, and let people puff indoors and pay the fine if they get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 NC has that ban too but as long as the place doesnt sell food or beverages you can smoke. one of the hookah bars is also a resturant and when the ban came into place they found some exception saying if its a live broadcast its allowed so they put up a webcam and had a 24 hour live feed online. they also got shut down.. hookah-hookah is good on taste and cheap as all hell but the buzz is lacking. al fahker has great flavor and great buzz for only a few dollars more. and i like southsmoke.com, i got my hookah from there. wish i would have known about that other website.. i hate people niggerlipping my hookah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pew_Pew_Pew Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I gotta try that al fahker. I know what you mean about the buzz. Hookah-hookah is just flavored smoke with no kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 if you mix different flavors of hookah-hookah it gives a bit more of a buzz for some reason. however, do NOT try their pumpkin spice flavor. im glad i only bought one of the "shots" because that shit almost made me puke. it was way too "warm" of a flavor if that makes any sense.

Pew_Pew_Pew Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I got the 10 pack of shots. I was curious about the graham cracker, vanilla, rootbeer, cola, and watermelon flavors...among others. I picked up a 50g jar of snickerdoodle hookah freak shisha. Haven't tried that yet. I need to find some friends to smoke with me cuz this shit takes forever to smoke with just two people.

acer910 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 how long are you smoking for with 2 people? how was the watermelon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
423894 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Watermelon is the shit. Am I the only one here who isnt a big fan of the tobacco shisha? Im down with the herbal stuff its better to mix in green with. White grape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 i havent smoked bud out of my own hookah yet, i smoke cigars and occasionally a black and mild so i like tobacco buzz but i dont have the super high tolerance cigarette smokers have. so i still enjoy just regular tobacco hookahs. i figured watermelon would be, is white grape strong?
