Anxiety Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 okay so ive been smoking hookah for a while, and here and there i notice some stems in my shisha (mainly with romman) but i ussualy think nothing of it and just pack it anyway. Lately i have been watching some reviews on certain shishas and what not and one of the things they ALWAYS rate is if theres alot of stems or not....are they bad and not supposed to be packed? how exactly does this work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 stems are just annoying...there is more nicotine content in them, but they can just be a pain in the ass. I've had them tear foil before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKammenzind Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Pack it in the bowl as usual. If it's really that big that'll give you trouble(1/4" Diameter, >1" long and the like), then take a knife and cut it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texico Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I leave the stems in. Generally you'll get less flavor out of the stems, but they do have more nicotine. They've never been bad for me, and I can't tell the difference when I happen to pack a bowl with no stems. Generally you want more leaves than stems though haha.

Scoop Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 they allow for better air flow through the bowl, i leave them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 ahhh i see, i wasnt sure if they were like supposed to be removed or not, because there always mentioned in the reviews. So as long as there no big deal then what ever i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesha Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 It all depends on their size imo. If you're not comfortable with controling the heat, they can ignite, and I've found they make it harsh... But for small ones I do like the others and leave there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Morgan Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I always pull the stems out. Thats more of an idiosyncracy of mine than anything else though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_Choi Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I was always told to take them out, but I had no idea they had more nicotine... I think I'll try leaving them in next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromecarz00 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I always feel they make my smoke harsh...because although they do take longer to burn, when they do burn its like breathing in a campfire...chop them up, roll them into a rolling paper, and use it as incense.

Stinkyfisherman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I normally take them out I always have I don’t know. I’ll have to go against my routine and leave them in once and see if it makes a difference. Edited April 15, 2008 by Stinkyfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
