SurfonFlatland Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 (edited) Hello. For the past month or so, I've noticed that I rarely get a nicotine buzz from the hookah, yet I can take one drag from a cigarette or black & mild and have a rather intense buzz. I smoke a bowl once every two or three days. I am not a cigarette smoker, but I will smoke cigars once a month or so.I smoke Al Fakher, Layalina, and Starbuzz. Anyone have any idea why this would be? Could it be my setup?31" Mya Saray6' hoseMya bowlTwo layers of regular thickness foil.One charcoal - one and a half if smoking Starbuzz.

DrShisha Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 AF Starbuzz Layalina are all washed tobaccos with very little nicotine content and thats what youv been smoking so its very hard to get any kind of nicotine rush. You need to get hold of some old school Nakhla, El Hennawy, Al Waha, Tangiers, Pharoahs which all have higher nicotine content which should bring the the light headed relaxed feelin back for you.

MechAnt Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 The shisha you've been smoking are washed meaning that their nicotine content is rather low. .05% by weight to be exact. Opposed to a cigarette which is something like 3%. If you want hookah buzz, smoke some Tangiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurfonFlatland Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Interesting you should mention Pharos. That was the first brand of shisha I smoked. There were times I found myself holding the hose up to take a hit, but just held it in an undecided manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 not really. once you build a tolerance to nicotine, in order to receive a buzz, the nicotine must be inhaled in big amounts in a short period of time aka a cigarette. I can smoke tangiers all day quick even getting a shortness of breath from doing it and I won't get a buzz, . 1 cig and im out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceraziefish Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Interestingly enough, I don't think I've ever gotten a nicotine buzz from a cigarette, whereas I still do from hookah, even though I smoke constantly. Just one of those things, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheeshabum Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 buy some cigarette loose tobacco in packs sold commercially for hand rolling. I smoke hookah like a fiend, but can't take the strength of cogarettes. I aadded some to my shisha and it was too strong for me.Try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathuv Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 DONT smoke rolling tobacco on its own in a shisha, its too strong xD if you wanna get "buzzed", chain smoke the shisha like 1 puff after another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manic007 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Why is everyone obsessed with getting buzzed? Isn't shisha about relaxation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
