MrMoodz Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 For the most part I am able to smoke it from the get go. There have been a few occasions where the tobacco was smoking harshly out of a new box, so I'd let it sit out and it improved itself by the next session.

mushrat Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 It's unwashed, so acclimating never hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshenrikson Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I acclimated mine for four hours and now its too dry to smoke. Not sure if it was already dry, but now its unsmoke-able Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eifah Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Which shishas should be acclimated? Whenever I read about acclimation, it's always about Tangiers, so I'm not sure if I should be acclimating my Romman/AF/Layalina shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you add an equal amount of glycerin and honey? Or more glycerin or more honey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Not NEEDED, but it probably helps, it is unwashed like Mush said. I have never smoked Nahkla without Acclimation. But i don't think that it is molasses-based tobacco. So it probably doesn;t need acclimation and will dry out if left for too long unattented. Nahkla does not need to be any dryer.

Do you add an equal amount of glycerin and honey? Or more glycerin or more honey?well I try to avoid glycerin cos i dont know what the effecs of smoking it are (should be fine) but I must admit, it makes the smoke smoother and the shisha wetter. you should put about 1 teaspoon per 50g of shisha,stir, leave for 3 hours. then after 3 hours its ready to smoke, just stir it up a bit more.

Codename067 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 The only Nakhla Flavor that I smoke is double apple. I never smoke it straight up, its usually mixed. I never let me Tobacco sit out..always air sealed in ziplock bags or specific jars that air seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a few hours of this should do it I have never tried this before, but it apparently makes it smoke better... so I am going to try it with my tobacco as soon as I am back at university.

Mutter Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 what would be the reason for aclimating your shisha? just to get it to room temp? or to evaporate some of the liquid..or...? im confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokingDjinn Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 I was just having trouble getting it to smoke, and when I did I was not getting big clouds of smoke. I think it was the coals, I'm going to try using some different coals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog_916 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Add coals too if you arent getting smoke. I find that whenever I'm getting thin clouds its usually because I dont have enough heat. Adding coals definitely helps that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakhla is amazing to smoke out of the box, when not in use i close the box and leave it all in a big plastic bin.if i let it sit out for two hours or so to room temperature, the smoke is always significantly worse.
