Maybe This Is A Stupid Question


Recommended Posts

When I inhale I lift my tongue slightly, so the smoke goes both under and over it. Definitely gives more taste.

On the exhale, breathing through your nose enhances flavor as well.

And yeah, I definitely taste more on the exhale. Edited by Glassjaw

canon ihave a question for you

i watched your purge video

where the smoke fills the vase then when you purge, the entier thing clears 100% only to fill again with the next hit

for some reason my qt doesnt do this at all.. when i purge, i can still see thick smoke in the base no matter how much i purge it

any ideas

its the heart, the chamber

yours is a common chambered hookah which means it doesnt do well with purging.. mine is traditional.



even traditional chambered hookahs dont purge that well, my km purges much better then my glyph

You taste with your nose, not your tongue. On the exhale more of the smoke reaches that good proboscus you call a nose and so you get more actual flavor then the initial inhale, which since your breathing in less of the smoke reaches the nose. Simple science shall set you free biggrin.gif

Smalling, tasting, hell its all the same. Your tounge can only pick up basic things; sweet, sour, savory, etc. Your nose is what does all of your tasting beyond the basics. Ever wonder why food seems more bland when you have a stuffy nose? And even if you dont blow out through your nose the particles that activate the smell receptors in your nose still make it to that big thing on the front of your head.

Your nose is certainly attached to the taste sense, it means not that you taste with your nose tho.

Smelling catches particules in the air with your sensitive area in the ¿roof? of your nose (top area) while taste catches particules in anything that goes thru your mouth with your tongue.

Connected but not the same

Olfaction and taste

Olfaction, taste and trigeminal receptors together contribute to flavor. The human tongue can distinguish only among five distinct qualities of taste, while the nose can distinguish among hundreds of substances, even in minute quantities. Olfaction amplifies the sense of taste, as can be proven by a simple "kitchen" experiment. If peeled pieces of apple are placed in one bowl, and peeled pieces of potato in another, and then the nostrils are held completely closed while a piece from one bowl is sampled, the taste of apple and potato are indistinguishable.[citation needed] (However, this is actually a myth -- the different texture of conventional apples and potatoes are usually sufficient to distinguish them given actual experimentation. A better example of this phenomenon would involve comparisons using foods whose textures are more similar, such as differently-flavored jelly beans.)

EL wins anyway, but regardless of where you think you taste it, you have to remember that taste - like all senses - is merely electrical impulses in your brain. and your brain is very good and shaping your perceptions.. Edited by camelflage

My friend's mom can only taste food if she eats a Vlasic pickle first. Doctor-prescribed. True story.

I'm using this anecdotal evidence to further my theory that hearing is involved in the ability to taste.

Have one pickle before your meal and call me in the morning.
