lazria Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Ha, haven't seen those in a good while. My BF used to smoke them all the time, but stopped as he would end up smoking twice as many of those as normal ciggys.They had a habit of killing the taste, which would be good for ciggys, bad for hookah tobacco.

AKammenzind Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Eh, seems like a waste to me... if people are concerned about the health risks of smoking they should either not smoke, or smoke e-cigarettes (lol)Cool idea, but it sounds like it would be rather annoying to use often, although it might be cool if you could just pack it with shisha...

lazria Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 you wouldn't be able to pack it, unless you completely took it apart - his picture is not what the true ciggy looks like - it's plastic-like paper.It has a charcoal plug @ one end and a filter @ the other - tobacco in between. You need to "heat" the coal on the end and draw. No ashes, but very little smoke - almost no flavor. It's supposed to "filter" the bad stuff out, plus since you never burn the tobacco, it's supposed to be better for you.... but AK, your right. Either don't smoke, or save your money and smoke something better.Also, they ran $6 a pack (very $$ here) and are impossible to find anymore (localy).

Jeff_T Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Pretty much a vaporizer type thing for NHT. I'd much rather smoke hookah than anything else. And smoking is smoking, its all unhealthy, but then again so is almost everything else. Hell water can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MechAnt Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 After reading the article, the principle is exactly that of hookah minus water. The charcoal used to heat rather than burn tobacco mixed with glycerine. Interesting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'd give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Eh part of the reason i love hookah is all the work it takes to setup and tear down keeps me from chain smoking it XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackiain Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The main reason I love smoking Shisha in a Hookah is the whole experience of it. I wouldnt want to casually smoke the tobacco any other way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
