Top man

I allow it to settle into the tobacco for a few days before smoking it and will mix a little with honey to remove any soapy after taste.

Where do you buy this glycerin and all?


I'm starting to get a bit interested in this technique.

Not sure where you can get it, but when you do, just be careful as to not put to much, apparently it messes up the flavor...(anyone to confirm this???? This is just what I heard)

I wonder if anyone actually reads my posts

Glycarin is used as the agent to 'cook' the tobacco.
You should probably use between 20-40ml's per 250g's
a little honey can be mixed to keep things sweet.

If I take a pack of quite dry Nahkla Orange and add 38ml's of glucarin and leave it to soak for a few days
I have a wet nahkla that still tastes of oranges

damn it i have to try this. I tried just adding honey, that seems to prevent the tobacco from burning but dampen the smoke development a little bit.

Be Warned - Add too much, or don't allow it to mix and settle, and it will taste like soap and you will want to kill yourself.

Add a little at a time.

Sorry JD

I did read your post but was just wandering about the fact that one shouldn't add to much.....

BTW I have it sometimes where I think my posts just don't get read...

Well, In England, I purchase this in the 'home cooking' isle of Tesco's/Sainsbury's/Asda [Now a Wall Mart Company - fucking Wallmart in england FFS]

I am led to believe you can also purchase it in pharmacutical stores - but beware... You can get Anal Glycarin and dispite what other's may suggest - If it's intended to be shoved up the ass, I ain't smoking it.

I found some glycerin at walgreen's.
Long's may have some too.
Just check at your local drug store

[thugacation]

would it be a good idea to add glycerin to a new tub of Al Fakher, would it make much difference?

you can pick some up from wal mart in the pharmacy section or at a pharmacy anywhere

[cymptom]

As I understand it, glycerin is what produces the smoke. The more glycerin you add, the more likely you are to get thick fluffy clouds, but you're also more likely to water down your flavor. I'd suggest adding a little at a time -- you can always add more, but you can't bring back the flavor once it's been watered down.

Sorry i didn't post back guys, i bought the glycerin at shaws at the drug section. The doc there told me it was for dry skin, and i told him i was using it for hookah tobacco and only using like a teaspoon for 250g of tobacco, he said thats fine, it is only harmful if you drink like 4 ounces of it at once. 4 ounces cost me 3 bucks, i added 1 tsp of glycerin and 1 tsp of honey to 250g of peach nakhla and it is now amazing. But yes i smoked it right after adding it, and it tasted a lil soapy. I let it sit and tried it today, and it was much MUJCH better, so wait a day or two if you try this method. I didn't get the vegi glycerin b/c i couldn't find it, but apparently normal glycerin works just fine, just don't put too much like JD suggested.

What is the consistency of this stuff? Is it thick like a local honey, or is it thin, or is it medium thickness, like corn syrup?

It's quite thin, but not runny. A lot less thick than clear honey.

I ordered some at my local pharmacy last night and I told them I need food grade. The pharmacist said the ones with a USP symbol on it means is is safe for human consumption and it the purest you will get. I told them what I needed it for and they just looked at me strange and said it will be fine for adding it to the tobacco.

same type of response i got more or less, but yeah its sort of thin, much thinner than honey, but my no means is it runny.
