SafeSearchOff Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 so i decided a few days ago im gona take a pretty long break from hookah. my lung capacity is pretty bad right about now but i guess thats not the main reason. every day for the last month or so i smoked like 2 bowls a day. for the last week it was just... pain? never seemed to taste good, got pretty nauseous pretty fast, and i dunno.. it kinda bored me. so from now till may i have stopped smoking hookah. lets see how it is when i get back...

gaia.plateau Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 (edited) Goodluck man, these voluntary breaks can be challenging. Especially when all us cunts are talking about hookah 24/7 on these forums It'll be all the sweeter when you resume.

Red Tea is tricky, Cocoa is a bloody challenge. I hate to tempt you with this, but here's how I've gotten it to smoke beautifully (Using exoticas and Tangy phunnel) heat about 1/3 stick so that the entire thing is red hot... take a pair of needle-nose pliars and break it into a bunch of slivers/tiny pieces... carefully place about 1/2 the pieces in a thin ring around the bowl, and use a wind cover for 5-10 minutes... you should be getting about 1/2 the smoke at this point that you're used to with Tangiers... take off the wind cover, and add the rest of the coal pieces... in a minute or so you should be getting full smoke. Put on another 1/3 stick to cook at this point, break it up again, and repeat.It's a bitch but the extra buzz is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 cocoa is tricky? never had a problem with that. altough the raspberry i find to not have the rasp flavor i was expecting. acclimated for 7 hours and i got the faintest raspberry i had tasted. im hoping when i try it again its good but for now im enjoying my esk apple and the h-s blend i bought.

SafeSearchOff Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 i dont use exoticas newhay >.<yeah so i had to pick up something for my idleness - decided to go with cigarettes. probably not hte best of decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yea EL took a non voluntary 4 month or so break from hookah. its been so amazing since i got back, and i dont let myself smoke like crazy to keep it from getting old again. Havent smoked yet this week But the smell of pink lemonade in the air is driving me mad.And a word of advice from EL, even though its hard to do cause it gets you tempted, take out and stir your baccy every now and then. Granted your time off is shorter then what i did but i lost a few tubs of AW and i think just stirring every now and then would have helped.

Eifah Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've been having to take a break from the hookah, but not on purpose. I dropped my bowl and it broke, so I currently don't have anything to smoke with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember how the quote goes exactly but a friend told me something like this:At first smoking is never about the addiction, it's about the buzz. You're fine with it every once in a while. But then you realize you're smoking more and more often and never quite getting the buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafeSearchOff Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 yeah i have a pretty addictive personality so i can forsee myself getting addicted... but i mean like the other night i was with my friends who smoke alot and i just COULDNT smoke as much as them. i didnt just not want to, like i COULDNT. im pretty good at limiting myself.just need me hookah back in may and ill stop ciggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I would also caution you against cigarettes, dude. They aren't a replacement for hookah but much more importantly hookah isn't a replacement for them. I've been addicted to cigarettes for ten years, as in like, I still today can't hold a lit cigarette without feeling a maddening urge to smoke it. I quit some heavy NHT at the same time as cigarettes, the kind that goes in your nose, when I was 16, and compared to the urge to smoke ciggies I felt absolutely nothing for the NHT. Moreover, I've never once felt an urge or need to smoke hookah.So yeah, I hope you reconsider especially if you have an addictive personality.
