shisha fan Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i think you need to cook the tobacco to get most of the nicotine out, then its called "washed". but i`m not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dushira Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Just rub it with some soap and then rinse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dushira Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) seriously, i remembered reading something about washed tobbacos recently so i searched a little and found it, i think it may be useful: QUOTE (Scheetz @ Jan 23 2008, 11:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>QUOTE Washed:TangiersRommanNahklaAl WahaAbu HithamPartially Washed (Usually washed mixed with a little unwashed...to retain a little nicotine)Al BashaWashed CompletelyAl AmirAl FahkerLayalinaStarbuzzHavanaFumariHookahHookah...Some washed brands erroneously claim to have full nicotine, either because computing the number is difficult, they wish to misrepresent their product, or they used to use unwashed foundation and then switched to a washed foundation. (layalina and Starbuzz)Washing is accomplished commonly by rinsing the tobacco with cold-room temperature water. Less commonly, the maker will use vinegar, as an acid, it neutralizes and dissolves the nicotine very well...but is more expensive (in the US). Nicotine is water soluble, so not that much water rinses it around 99% clean.So like he is saying that all shishas are washed, but to different level. Pretty interesting. More information would be nice Edited February 3, 2008 by dushira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i was under the impression that it had to just be soaked in water... but i guess it makes more sense if you boil it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 turn on the shower to a temp that you like. Take it in, first start with a rinse. From there, shampoo it and condition it. After its nice and silky, bust out the fruity body wash. Wash and rinse, then dry with a towel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathuv Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 i think the basic concept is that its washed in water right? soaked in hot water? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASUSEAN1 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 you add your water/glycerin mixture (more water than usual if you want washed tobacco), and you put it on he stove and boil/simmer it until it as the desired wetness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
