Tar Content

[ZenSilk]

I just want the vapor heads and tar non-believers to suck these pictures down niiiice and sloooow. Didn't matter how much, just that there is some.

SO theoretically, a hose with a filter would do you good... Plus some of the tar crap sticks to the inside of the hose as well.

We can use all the filtering we need in order to prevent TAR from entering our lungs.

Check out this tar laced smoke heart, it's tiiiiiight:

so was that after a whole session?

[staygone]

Yes, a 20 minute power solo session. Not nearly a whole session, but a session at that.

[staygone]

Yup, but we can't deny the fact that THERE IS TAR IN HOOKAH SMOKE.

Yeah man, that shit is like dark yellow and dark brown...

[zeppyrkr]

wait there were people saying there was no tar once so ever? ive just been saying its a pathetic amount , and thanks you proved it.

[staygone]

It was grinding the shit out of my gears, god it's great knowing we all kill ourselves alittle slower enjoying the delicious narghile.

even after going through the cigarette's filter..

[ZenSilk]

I have done this before, only through the hose, and i got no tar. I used a cotton ball, and then a wet cotton ball. I got no residue at all at the tip of the hose, i have stated this before.

ANd i still thing the single handed most destructive force in regards to a hookah is the Carbon Monoxide. Delete that factor, it becomes much healthier.

[staygone]

The tar is visible BEFORE you actually inhale it. The yellow smoke is in the chamber, through the water, not in the exhale. You know why your lungs turn black after smoking for a long time? Your lungs get the abuse of the tar.

So the hose acts as a filter all it's self? I doubt it,

I will have picture up SOON. mapping out my experiment. I CAN'T WAIT!!!! They show clear indication of color when entering the chamber through the water. Then they will show the no show of color indication through the exhale of smoke.

Cause the cilia in your throat and lungs traps it in.

I quoted my quote.

Not a filter... kind fo as a third (or fourth or fifth) lung.
ANd after the amount of inhales of one session, it's gunky on the inside.
Leather hoses have it worse since they are more grainy than Nammors.

[staygone]

Very nice, very nice indeed.

I will conduct this experiment again with more suitable evidence (mutiple bowls in a group, longer duration of smoke, etc.)

so let me get this straight....before you inhale it its there and after it isnt? :S

SO really theer is eveidence when you wash out a nammor of the amount fo tar entering your lungs.

Yes because it's in your body! Think of your throat and lungs like the spinning carpet attatchment for a vacuum; those little things that pick up hair on the spinner are like the cilia in your lungs, they trap particulates. Edited February 4, 2008 by ZenSilk

That is what causes cancer!

[staygone]

But vapors don't have tar right?
Hookah is inhaling vapors and not smoke, so it must be carcinogen free!

[zeppyrkr]

i have an idea, use that same filter idea in your experiment and have a single cig some how plugged on the top, the filter in the stem, smoke it and show us the results.

[Plain Old Me]

Very nice, very nice indeed.

Not disagreeing with the outcome, but I do have a few questions about what you did exactly. First off, you said earlier on the thread that you can actually see yellow smoke? I dunno about most people on here, but the only smoke that I ever see is white... Also did you smoke actual shisha or did you just use glycerine (I think you mentioned something about it earlier)? Finally, what kind of coals did you use? I think I will set up my hookah this weekend with a cotton ball at the grommet where you hook the hose up as well as one in my hookah filter at the end of the hose (to see mostly if putting a cotton ball on the base catches most of the tar, which may actually be a good idea). I'll try Rolland quicklightes and some Diamente natural fingers as well to see the difference between natural and quicklight charcoal.

Theer has to be a thick glass screen in order for it to be ligit vaporizing. Cause no matter what, with a foil screen or screen, you are burning tobacco and glycerine. Both are made of plants, so naturally produce some form of tar.

If you actually vaporized Shisha then there in fact would be almost no tar.
