I Love Hookah But

[Darkwatcher758]

Let me start off by saying I love smoking hookah and recently got back into it, I got different kind of tobacco's and as much as I love smoking it I feel very weighted down and nervous whenever I smoke it. Mind wonders, heart increases and I feel jittery. I can take a lot of caffeine in my system because I'm used to supplements with bodybuilding but hookah really makes me uncomfortable. Is there a way around this?

I only notice no effects when smoking starbuzz brand but tangiers gets my crazy but I love the flav and smoke so much more.

Also so I don't double post, for those funnel bowels, do you poke holes on the foil where the main hole is on the bowl or just poke holes all around it? Feels like to much air going through if a hole i poked in the center.

I don't know about the side effects you're feeling but I will tell you this... Starbuzz doesn't give any buzz at all compared to Tangiers due to the washed out nicotine.. so it sounds like thats where your problem lies.

As for the phunnel, I never poke the middle hole(s), except with Tangiers for that extra airflow. As long as you're keeping the foil tight over the top (so it doesn't sag down and plug the hole in the middle) then you shouldn't need to poke holes in the middle of your phunnel.

I would have to say it is the amount of nicotine you are taking in. Try a washed line is my thinking, or a lower grade tobacco, like hookah freak or hookah hookah. They never give me a buzz, so you should be ok there

yeah I get really really high off it, I get pushed down like a rock hit my head and my mind wonders off and I'm out of it for a while. kind of a like a mini freak out.. IS it because my mind isn't used to the amount of nicotine?

I would have to say so
Once in a while I get like that, if I have a lot of heat with a shisha that has a higher content of nicotine.
The solution I can think of, would be that either A. Switch brands to something with a low content or B. Rough through a week of many many sessions, so that you can build up a tolerance. Just be careful so you don't get yourself sick. Could air and water + food always helps.

yeah I have to say one of the downfalls for smoking hookah is I get very hungry when doing it, Other then having to use the bathroom its the hunger i obtain while smoking it. Well I'm going to cut it down to maybe a good 40min smoke session once a week or so instead of everyday..I'll also try out different brands..

I wish hookah was more of a chill out then an upper lol..
