Glycerin Vs. Honey


Recommended Posts

Hey you guys!

I don't know where I can get glycerin so I'm thinking about using honey next time I get a dry 250gram tub of tobacco.

I've had some tobacco in the past that is very dry and need honey or glycerin...I was wondering...Which one works best or do they work the same? (do they both make the smoke smoother, more clouds etc)

Both together.

and you can normally get glycarin at the 'home cooking' section of any supermarket.


So honey isn't great by itself?


I wouldn't imagine so.

I use a (rought) ratio of about 1|6 Honey Glycarin.

The honey reduces the 'taste' of Glycarin and just makes this a bit sweeter.

Unless hookah knowledge has changed since my hay day, then u do need both. Glycerin is what gives you those lovely large clouds. What your seeing as smoke is mainly vaporized liquid, the biggest producer of thick fluffy clouds being vaporized glycerin. You never really burn the tobacco but vaporize the liquids in it, ie honey, molasses, glycerin, natural tobacco juices, etc. This is one of the reasons its no where near as harsh as say ciggs, your not really burning anything as long as your doing it right.

This is why you have that nice hockey puck at the end instead of a pile of ash biggrin.gif Well... you still have a pille of ash but thats for different reasons XD And actually it would be should you use honey or molasses. Glycerin is just about a must biggrin.gif

Granted, as i said, that was the understanding back when i was learning from the man himself, it could have changed since then XD
