Balthazar Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) With parents that aren't exactly mega-fans of hookah (or any type of smoking, for that matter) and a little brother who's about as susceptible as thirteen year old girl with low self esteam I don't smoke at home unless I've got the house to myself. This only happens in vacations, my family leaves town for a week or two, and I turn into this hookah-addict spending most of my days watching movies with friends, eating and smoking. Needless to say, the breaks I take makes it so much more enjoyable. This sunday my family is going away again, so I'm planning on making this as enjoyable as possible.Here's the deal, I've never tried anything other than water or milk in the base. I want to try out some new liquids, I've got lots of different types of coffee, tea and I'm also giving coconut-milk a shot. But being really inexperienced when it comes to combining different liquids and tobacco-flavours I'm looking for some advice. If I had the chanse to smoke more often I'd be doing these expereiments on my own, but I don't want to waste any time on making sub-par combinations. So I thought I'd give you a little list of what I've got in stock, and it would be great if you could suggest what I should try together. Also, when it comes to combining milk/tea/coffe with water I'm not sure of the ratio to use. Thanks in advance.Hookah:KM Hafa with KM-hose (and a Nammor on its way). Got a shitty regular bowl, and a Tangiers Small Funnel that I have yet to try (also a Tangiers Medium Funnel on its way)Tobacco:Tangiers Kashmir Peach – 250gTangiers Watermelon – 250gStarbuzz Irish Coffee – 220gStarbuzz X on the Beach – 100gAl Fakher Melon – 20g (This one I love, so it sucks that there's so little left )Mouj Al Bahr Triple White Apple – 50gAl Waha Melon – 35gEl Nakhla Sweet Melon – 50gAl Amir Honeydew Melon – 50gCoals: (don't really know what difference this would make flavour-wise, but I'll list them anyways)Exotica Square Finger Coals – 1kg (as far as I can see, not a bad batch. At least not any white stuff on the surface)Smiley's Coconut Coal – 2kgCocobrico Coconut Charcoal – 5kgGolden Hookah Charcoal – 96 piecesGuess I'm pretty covered when it comes to the coal, went a little overboard, and once people started getting bad batches of exotica I ordered the Cocobrinco just to be on the safe side.Tea:Mango DarjeelingChai (lots of different variations of it)Vanilla Apple White TeaBlueberry BreezeMint Green TeaHoney Lemon Ginseng Green Tea+++Got lots of flavours, but don't really remember them all. Anyways, most can be bought locally, so don't hesitate to suggest flavours I'm not listing here. Also, are there any difference between green, white and black? And are tea-bags (I'm tempted to make the most unoriginal pun ever) OK?Coffee:ArabicIndian MalabarCubanFrench Roasted+++Feel free to suggest any kind of coffee, probably easy to find most of it locally.Milk:Coconut milk (do you shake the can before opening it or something? I thought coconut-milk was a bit clumpy, but havn't been drinking it in like 8 years)Edit: Added milk. Edited March 14, 2008 by Balthazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaVi0r Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 alot of the time i used frozen berries instead of ice. Keeps the water cold and adds AMAZING flavor actually. Try that with mostly any fruity tobacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a bit more of the apple taste with less licorice/anice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majid Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've only had good experiences with white wine and vanilla tea, any liquid too dense makes the smoke too heavy in my experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanij Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I wonder if a person could actually make mercury bubble in a hookah but that would be really bad for them hahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 only until they died though.as far as ratios i dont remember any of them bit i think if you did 3:1 water:liquid you should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmunRa Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have tried a few things in years past. What ever you do, go with one part X liquid (i.e. coffee, tea, wine, juice, soda, etc.) and two parts cool tap water. Coffee is a good one to try with coffee/cappuccion tobacco. Vanilla also works with coffee flavord tobaccos. I also did red wine (merlot i believe) with some strawberry tobacco that was tasty.The thing you have to be careful about is matching flavors. For example, Folgers coffe and Starbuzz irish coffee tobacco probably won't mix well. Nakhla coffee tobacco and Dunkin doughnuts coffe might work though...I don't know if that makes any sense, but it did to me. The flavors not working out are why I stopped doing this sort of thing.On another note, be careful with alcoholic beverages in the base. YOu will be off your rocker for awhile if you use too much, and driving is definetly not advocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
