Milk In Base

[TheAlmightyClaw]

I put in half milk and half water in my KM base. IT WAS NOT A GOOD IDEA. I ended up pouring 90% of it out, and filling it with water. I still had problems with bubbles getting up into my lovely nammor hose. At least I was planning on cleaning it thoroughly this weekend.

I've tried putting milk before and it was fine, here are a couple of tips that might help.

1. DON'T use half milk and half water, you only need like 3 or 4 tablespoons of milk!
2. When you fill the base make sure its only approximately 3 quarters of an inch above the bottom of the stem.

Try that if you ever decide to use milk again and it'll add a creaminess to the taste of your shisha! Edited October 13, 2007 by Muhammad

Thanks. Next time I feel like trying it. I will not use as much milk, but I just want to make sure people are aware of not using to much.

Fresh milk does not buble that much. When i use milk i fill the vase with milk and doesnt buble at all. I dont know why you guys get that.

Probably american cows are too bored to make some good milk

I had the same experience. It should have a cloudy look, but not opaque.

Try using heavy whipping cream instead of milk. Better taste, better smoke, less bubbles...but you get hookah butter to clean after you are done :-) Also try using sweetened condensed cream, no bubble problems with this, and descent flavor addition.

oh yeah another tip... MAKE SURE to wash it out when you're done. I remember a long time ago (we were drunk I think) and smoked some hookah with milk in it (far more than 4 spoons) and didn't wash out the vase that night. Let's just say a day or two later I was scrubbing off cheese from the hookah lol

Milk hookahs are just nasty.
Just manage your coals and holes.

it was one of those "you gotta try it" things

Coconut milk actually works fantastically. Doesn't bubble and adds a good taste, nothing overbearing.

[RayVer]

how much coconut milk do you add? is it a 50/50 ratio with water or something else?

[MechAnt]

Its a smaller ratio. I don't quite recall the exact amount

I just tried using 2% milk in my hookah, unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to see what other people's experience with milk as a base liquid have been. I used nothing but milk and about 8 ice cubes. The smoke is great, smoothest that's ever passed my lips, but the bubbles are annoying as could be. In my next session I'll definitely try the suggested 3-4 tablespoons instead. I'm also intrigued by the coconut milk suggestion. I happen to have some lying around and I'm thinking about what shisha flavors would go best with it. Pina Colada seems the obvious choice but somehow I think strawberry may work out well. I haven't been a hookah owner long and am just getting into using non-water base fluids, this milk experiment is my first step back into smokey waters since using some pomegranite margaritas for my base. Really threw me off and made me feel sick. The wave of relaxation after going months without so much as a puff was almost overwhelming.

yeah, too bad milk doesn't actually DO anything .
cheap gimmick that goes against physics.
but have fun with it.
