Who does Shisha/Hookah?

hks786 · 11-01-2009, 11:31 AM

Just wondering...

I'm thinking to get new flavours. I mostly do mint though. Any recommendations?

Got my own mate. I usually use Al Fakher flavours.

Actually I've got a problem with my Shisha. It's a new one so I've only used it a few times. At first it worked perfect, but now I cant seem to get much smoke at all and it's very hard to get anything unless you inhale hard. There's also a noise which sounds like air and the water doesnt bubble much.

I thought maybe it could be the ball bearing. I'm not sure. Where exactly should the ball sit? Does it sit inside the screw-off valve or inside the pipe?

I don't have my own but a bunch of my friends do, and they usually set it up. Sorry I can't be of assistance there

But try putting cold/ice water in there. It makes the experience much better.

My favorite is strawberry. Also, try experimenting and mixing new flavors. You may find one you really enjoy!

hks786 · 11-01-2009, 01:41 PM

Yeah I heard bout ice/cold water. I'll give it a shot. Strawberry is good. If you've not done mint yet you should do it next.

Jammin Jason · 11-01-2009, 01:42 PM

i saw just go to the hookah bar. more flavors and you dont have to deal with replacing the coal and such. its such a hassle

Best shisha I smoked

shahsk30 · 11-01-2009, 02:45 PM

hookah ftw

Universal_Magnetic · 11-01-2009, 02:52 PM

There's a lot of Al Fakher I love, also a bunch I hate. I also love Nakhla, its unwashed tobacco so you will get a buzz if you're not used to it. Check out their mizo line as its a bit more juicy and flavourful than the regular nakhla flavors. Can't go wrong with watermelon,guava, peach. Watermelon mint is a really good mix too.

Check out:

www.hookahforum.com or www.hookahpro.com

Those are some good forums to get some info on hookahs,flavors,coals, etc.

Kiemyster · 11-01-2009, 03:06 PM

mint is my primary flavor.

I usually ALWAYS have mint in whatever mix i make. My favorite is combining citrus flavors with it. orange-mint, lime/lemon-mint, orange-lemon-mint, vanilla-orange, peach-lemon-mint.

I avoid very powerfull flavors like cherry and the rest of the very fruity/strong/pungent mixes. That shit is too strong and concentrated for me. I keep it smooth so its nice to mix with some herb. Put a spot of high grade with any of the above mixes and its a guarenteed success!

MontegoGoGoGo · 11-01-2009, 03:09 PM

Stick a Soma strain in there and you'll be feeling good!

MTV · 11-01-2009, 04:37 PM

Green grape FTMFW

Instead of water, put some Vodka in there. Add a little herb and you'll be satisfied haha

Comet · 11-01-2009, 04:51 PM

mix of mint with lemon with cold water.. for parties we add vodka

I have an all natural Strawberry one at home. My cousin made it and he gave it to me in a jam jar. I once spread it on bread by mistake.. thank god I realized before eating :S

Labrada_Exoticz · 11-01-2009, 09:11 PM

Check that the metal stick that goes into the water is screwed on tight. I had a similar problem where it would bubble up as much and I wouldn't get much smoke and figured out that the stick was loose.

As far as flavors go, I'd probably recommend trying a flavor from starbuzz. Their blue mist flavor is good and also the social smoke flavor.

alq80 · 11-01-2009, 09:20 PM

im smoking right now

and my preference is alfakher grape, and alnakhla double apple. i only mix grape with mint, and usually alfakher mint is the best

BForbes · 11-01-2009, 09:41 PM

I love Hookah. I'm currently on Al Fakher Mint.

ronhappy123456 · 11-01-2009, 11:08 PM

I'm a hookah fanatic!

Favorite flavor by far is Starbuzz's fuzzy naval.

As far as your ball bearing problem, my friend's hookah does the same thing. Just twist the metal plug up and down while sucking in strongly. It should "snap" back into place.

I love blowing O's/ french inhaling. It never gets boring

guardianangel3290 · 11-01-2009, 11:13 PM

Starbuzz is the shit. I like "X on the beach"

Fusion is pretty good too.

And adding ice to the bowl will thicken the smoke. The colder the liquid the greater the production

Sara · 11-01-2009, 11:33 PM

Sex on the beach is an awesome one to smoke

WesleyC · 11-01-2009, 11:51 PM

Yea, starbuzz is where its at. My friend buys it all and I just smoke with him. He said that starbuzz is now close to double the price of what it used to be.
