manic007 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 HiThis is more for the JD crowd. In one post you said you could only get 38ml bottles of glycerin. Well those days are over!I ordered two 200ml bottles of glycerin from this site, total cost incl p&p £6.09:http://www.reachpharmacy.com/shop/customer...at=0&page=1It arrived in 4 days via RM 2nd class mail.So for all you Nakhla lovers the days of dry shisha are over!PS: Sorry for no photos, camera needs AA batteries that are super-fully charged and all my batteries are merely fully charged . The bottles that arrived are not by Bells, but by a company called "Care". The stuff is still food safe and even contains dosage instructions for ingestion PPS: One last point. It says on the bottle to take 1 or 2 5ml spoonfuls of the liquid, and repeat after 4 hours if required. It also has a precautionary note that too much glycerin has the side effects of causing "headaches, nausea, vomitting, stomach upset, diarrhoea, thirst, dizziness, mental confusion, irregular heatbeat and sever hydration if already dehydrated". All sounds like a typical shisha session at my friends house!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majid Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Damn nargile is an expensive passtime in Europe, UK especially. I saw what you guys pay for Nakhla, like 8 pounds a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Op de doosjes staat 200 gram als ik het goed heb ik heb hier een paar doosjes van 250g liggen. de 200g versie is geloof ik in duitsland te koop, maar daar zit weer minder glycerine in verwerkt (er mag volgens de wet max. 5% in zitten).
