just had my first hookah experience. it tasted good, and may have aided my current case of the giggles. what's the monkey business on the subject? worth throwing down for my own?
who knows hookah?
- Thread starter mandown
- Start date
if you have a local hookah bar that is close then id go that route. if/when you actually get one, youll probably find yourself not using it much unless you have a group of people to share it with. i have a few and rarely, if ever, use it anymore
I smoke regularly usually to wind down. More fun though when smoking socially. Hookah lounge costs were adding up. Realized quickly that for the cost of 10 lounges I could have a decent setup at home.
You can get a quality new hookah on ebay for ~$30. Get a pipe with a case. I have one similar to this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Swirl-2-Hose-Premium-Hookah-Shisha-Spherical-Stained-Glass-Vase-Jewel-Stem-/170945098083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27cd1f3163
My favorite flavor is pomegranate and fig mixed together. Also, some brands taste much better than others.

I'd like to throw a molotov cocktail into every hookah lounge I see.
Just ordered an "electric coal". I'm told it makes the smoke taste better and no carbon monoxide
Am I the only one that thought this thread was good intel on real "hookahs"?
Imagine my surprise ... to see we're talking about those weird middle eastern commune peace pipe things.
Blehyuck.

quality input.
I spent about $100 on a setup my senior year of high school and I've used it maybe 15 times. It's spent most of the past 3 years in the back of my closet gathering dust. Although I've been to a few different hookah bars since I got it. I've thought about breaking it out a couple times in the past few months, but IMO it's not worth the mess unless you have a few people wanting to smoke.
I remember when we hit the Gulf during Desert Storm and all the squids on board rushed out and got these huge setups for wicked cheap. Claimed it as "China" and mailed them back home. 
There used to be an awesome coffee shop on Belmont that has become a hookah bar.

wait it's not normal to drive a bong to school?
Nobody said it wasn't normal.
I smoke hookah often. Pretty enjoyable in my opinion. Can do it inside without stinking everything up, doesnt stay on your breath, tastes great and is really relaxing.
I have this one: http://www.hookahjohn.com/MYA-QT-063.htm
Definitely good bang for your buck. Dont buy a cruddy one from the local corner store, they will just rust and fall apart. This one has lasted me years, and even with the one hose works fine for a couple of people. I have broke the base, made a new one, replaced the hose (from rust on the inside) and tried a few different bowls, and the metal piece is still in amazing condition.
Tips:
- Never put too much shisha in, fluff it, but dont let it hit the foil, if it hits the foil it will burn and taste pretty bad.
- If you get the quick light coals, wait until all the chemical is burnt off before smoking (turns all grey), also dont light it on top of the bowl. The natural coals make a difference, and in the link above he sells a natural quick light that I like a lot (I dont have a gas stove or want to use a torch).
- Pick up a phunnel or vortex bowl from the link above, the flavor is much better.
It takes time to get it right, but its much better and doesnt taste like a college dorm when you figure it out. Those are some of the most important things I think for getting good flavor though.

Try Constantinople.
Enjoyed it a few times, great experience!
What does a college dorm taste like? My guess is keystone ice, old crow, and soiled prophylactics
basically. and burnt stuff (food and others).
http://www.maharajahookah.com/starbuzz/starbuzz-hookah-tobacco-100gm/starbuzz-cosmopolitan-flavour-100-g-/prod_169.html This is a good flavoured tabbaco brand if you want to go that way.
As for claiming it's gay - not if you try it with rum. Also coconut coal + a proper quality hookah can get you so hyperventilated you won't be able to walk. Not sure that's a good thing though.

Starbuzz is code, I reccomend the code 69.
Ive been trying tangiers, havent quite figured it out yet.
Your signature isn't even a link, dumbass
Does anybody smoke to get stoned or is it only for winding down and glaucoma?
you ever smoke tobakky out of a hookah? It's literally nothing like you've ever done in regards to tobacco if you haven't.
weed is something else
Yeah, that sweet Apple flavored shit? Shady Italian hookah bars have…. if you ask right.
When I do I make it count. Top shelf only. Do I seem to be the type to wind down? My eyes are fine. I have been tested.
Wunderbar! Great post Brother. What do you like to Drink while smoking?
I like Tea.
My Favorite Memory Smokin Shisha,and there have been many.
Sorry,made an error,had to edit. Nevermind,It ain’t Important,just a thought.
