scissorhands Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 So a month or so ago i got one of the 17" "Mini" hookahs, ive broken it in so far but it seems that for the past few sessions ive been getting harsh headaches. One of my friends sasy it might just be because were using straight Al Amir Vanilla (which isnt great, but gives good smoke), but im just looking for some tips or advice on what you guys think. Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Sometimes when you suck too hard..........no let me rephrase that.......when you POWER-PUFF and keep puffing continuously, that can give yourself a headache, it happens to me a lot because I'm a power-puffer. Infact, I rarely even take time to breathe between puffs. Welcome To The Hookah forum scissorhands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Another thing to keep in mind, if you're smoking inside a room, you are continously breathing in old stale smoke. When I smoke in my room, I'm bordering on a headache by the end of the bowl, but if I smoke outside or in a well ventilated place, I can smoke bowl for bowl. Make sure you're smoking in a place with plenty of air flow. The only downside to this is it kills your O's, so its a tossup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 More liely it is some additive in the brand you are smoking, or something about the tobacco itself. Remeber, you ARE still smoking tobacco which can have detrimental health effects. I tend to get worse headaches with different brands myself, And if I smoke 2 bowls in a day, or more than 2 or so days in a row, hello sinus pain!

MR Bubble Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Sometimes I feel the coals are the culprit. Nours give me a big buzz and a sure migraine the next morning. And I mean MIGRAINE! MR Bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uselessdreamer1 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 ooooo..... that must suck... also made sure your coal is either ashed everywhere(showing no black) or red before using it. sometimes it give a bad flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Oh yes, it does suck because I love concept of the Nour fingers. Easy to break into whatever size/shape your little heart desired, awesome temperature, and the price is just great for such a versatile coal. You lucky farts.

brother812 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 been thinking allot about this myself and i think Math's theory has some merit. but my thought is that it isn't so much the smoke as it is the carbon monoxide from the coal. Yash mentioned no headache outside but getting one inside if you are outside your getting more fresh air so it would counter the CO. just my idea on it but i have noticed sense i turned the air conditioners off and opened the windows i haven't got a headache after a smoke.
