Polychronius Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Anyone tried to smoke without water in the hookah?In the intreset of science I did, and what I found might shock you.It didn't make a darn difference. Well, it sucked because it didn't bubble and it just felt wrong... And the smoke might have been warmer.But other then that it was just like a normal hookah session. I feel cheated somehow.

storm2210 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 From what I've read the water filters all the bad crap fromt the tobbaco. So you must've smoked more nicotine or what ever is in there than usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryet Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Interesting. I'd imagine it would be just like smoking from a regular tobacco pipe. But yeah, it just doesn't seem right with out the cooling and bubbling from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leadpipecinch21 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 done it before, it was nothing different, but the smoke definitely burned hotter...the pull was much, much easier too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degs Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 yeah, it's just not filtered and hotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It will allow large particulate matter to go up the hose. I've said this before, no water makes little difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polychronius Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 Large particulate?I've never seen any particles in the bowl afterwards? I guess you are right though, but I dont worry about that. And I really doubt the filtering effect of water. But who knows? *shrugs*Not that I'm going to smoke the hookah without water on a regular basis, it feels to damned werid.

boomhauer Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 large chunks of something. when i use HH shisha i get some chunks of the shisha that falls through since its shredded so fine. without the water i could possibly inhale it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Pieces of ash or charcoal particles, pieces of tobacco all come to mind. If there's dust in the air, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocrap Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nicotine isn't even water soluble, right? Or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafeSearchOff Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 im not sure if its water solluble, but i think it is. if it isnt, which i also think it might be (im on the fence, im no chemist), it doesnt really matter, does it? because if the smoke is filtering through the water, the nicotine will get sort of "caught" in the water like any other hard matter... right?lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomhauer Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 here is a fun experiment for people. get a water bottle the next time you smoke and drink anywhere from 1/4th to 1/2. take a hit and exhale into your water bottle. shake it a few times and see what happens to the smoke. shake it a lot and see what happens. if your too lazy to have fun doing this then ask and ill post up my results....

That being said, its common for us chemists to use water traps to catch noxious fumes. Why wouldn't it work for hookahs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, I blew cigar smoke into a clean napkin and the napkin turned brown. Then I blew hookah smoke into a clean napkin and the napkin didn't change color. Pretty cool huh?

SafeSearchOff Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 wait, so under the same test circumstances, you got different results?you just said two different things that happened when you blew onto a clean napkin.you mean clean napkin, wet napkin?

boomhauer Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 it was showing that cigar smoke is dirty and left the napkin brown while hookah smoke left it with no change of visible cleanness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 oh man my bad i missed the change of smoke source. i thought he just repeated the same sentence twice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
