Coconut In Base

[winstonk]

I've been reading up about using coconut milk in the base on my hookah. I've noticed that you guys mention mixing the milk with wine. Any other suggestions.

Tonight I bought 5 coconuts in an attempt to try this out and save some money.
Unfortunately I learned that coconut milk is not the liquid inside the coconut but juice squeezed from the milk it's self. Any ways I am gonna try using the liquid tonight and I will tell you how it goes.

I think you'll be okay just using the liquid inside... I've even used coconut cream, which I think is basically coconut milk whipped with the flesh, with some sugar added.

For your situation I'd recommend using the liquid inside at 1:3 against wine, grape dependent on your flavour of shisha.

coconut milk added no flavor for me, and made it a pain to clean...

pass imo

+1 on above.

I have never tried it, nor have I ever wanted to try it.

If anything, buy coconut flavor.

I do it for the increased smoke density, more than the flavour.

I tried it with canned coconut milk, and it made a bit of a difference. I wanted to make a coconut shisha bowl just for kicks but I was too lazy and wound up just eating the coconut. Edited March 20, 2008 by Ralleac

That would have to be a very big bowl

Might work better as a base.

I never have tried cocconut milk in the base. You must be pretty strong to be able to squeeze the milk out of one though cause there is deffenatly a hole in the top for that.

Yea, the way I was planning it, it would've turned out kind of shallow. The coconut I was using had a fairly pointy tip, so it may have worked out alright. I was mostly trying to do everything feasible to make the coconut shisha taste more like coconut, including coconut milk and coconut extract.
