ahwahoo2006 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 anyone have any recommendations on what brands of shisha have the best buzz? I love the taste of Al-amir, but it doesnt have any buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I've noticed the same thing about my Al Amir. If its a buzz you're looking for, try some simple nahkla. That or Al Fahker, but to tell you the truth, I haven't had a buzz from hookah in over a year...My body is just so used to the nicotine, I don't get affected at all. And if you want an easy buzz, try not smoking for a week, then going back to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 yup..nakhla..buzz of choice...sometimes followed by hurl of choice if you smoke too much... I still say you want buzz...drink booze..you want smoke...then SMOKE. [img]http://hookahforum.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing triggers as buzz like a drink before a smoke on the hookah. Just make sure you havent had too much to drink or it could also trigger vommitting.

Sonthert Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Ibelieve Al-amir is washed, so no buzz. Nakhla is not, Al Waha is not. Fakher, I think is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 ok..I'll bite... WASHED?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Nicotine is water soluble, that is, if i spray uncooked tobacco with water, the water will remove a large portion of the nicotine. Standard US tobacco is 2/3 2% stems, 3% nicotine. The tobacco, making up about 18-25% of the final weight makes the resulting nicotine level .2-.5% (approximately). If the tobacco is washed, it generally removes 90% of the nicotine resulting in a nicotine level of approximately .02-.05% i.e. washed=.05% nicotine, unwashed=.5% nicotine. THose useless numbers on the side of the box? The nicotine number is what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Well, that actually answers a number of questions I have had all at once. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebastard Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I lost my buzz a very long time ago...something to do with the long-standing fags & cigars I've been using I think. But tonight I was a bit desperate & had no fags so I decided to use my Nakhla Cappuccino. After a huge munch that was a seriously relieving smoke! I got a straight head rush and the buzz lasted throughout the whole bowl. Nothing gives a buzz like Nakhla! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laher Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 wow quality info there tangiers ... need to try some off your stuff...im a fruit man so any fruitiful flavours to try ? Is the kashmiri stuff any good, as i just love the sound of it (being an asian from them neck of the woods (well im indian), but ive beeen to kashmir...beautiful place)...Back on topic...really interested in the kashir peach/apple... Do you put anise type flavouring in apple? Cos i hate it, especially al-fakher double apple...it should be called 'Al-fakher aniseed balls" lol. Could do with a sample pack off your tooty fruity flavours (i.e. raspberry etc)? If you wanna help a brother out, we can come to some sort of agreement...pm me!

Sonthert Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Biggest Buzz I ever got was from an Arturo Fuente Anejo cigar, Double Panatella as I remember...I couldn't walk, so how could I tell the difference? Cigars or Hookah Buzz? Which one is bigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravi Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 i would say nakhala too. it obviously doesnt have as much quaility as al amir etc.. but it gives a nice buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I inhale my hookah smoke and find the hookah buzz to be pleasant on the occasions when i get it. It's the occasional headaches I could live without, and I've figured out how to aviod those for the most part. If I inhaled my Cigar..it would be the Mushrat spin and puke in short order.

HookahDuck Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have noticed the same thing with Amir... However their 2x apple tends to give me more of a rush than their other flavors. Al waha mixed fruit, and Nahkla cherry seem to give me verrrrry heavy buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monil Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I've just given myself possibly the biggest buzz I've ever had with shisha, more so than my very first few times.Al Fakher Grape with Orange Fanta (1 can) +Water (to fill up the remaining volume) in the hookah.Buzzed up.

Monil Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Also normally prepared Nakhla Cherry gives a pretty huge buzz but I wouldnt say the smoke is too pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Double Apple should be extra rough, they use alcohol as a solvent, I would guess, most of the time. Anything that is predominantly alkaline will allow more nicotine through, how about coffee or tea? Get some caffeine up to, perhaps. Fanta, if it contained caffeine, might work well. I experimented with making caffeinated tobacco for awhile. Still too strong...laid people out like 5 dollar hooker. Also ice-cold water should allow more nicotine through where hot water will trap more nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
