Milk In The Base

[frost91]

I read somewhere that putting milk inside the base makes the smoke thicker...can anyone confirm?

search the forum, theres many many threads about this.

milk bubbles. it will bubble up even pretty big vases and could enter your hose (which is really gross once it settles, especially if its not washable). its also a plan in the ass to clean.

i get thick clouds without milk so i dont bother with anything but water anymore

Milk bubbled up and got in my cobra hoses and ruined them... I'm still bitter about that

[Codename067]

As mentioned, it will bubble up. Never tried it, and never will.

[liquidglass]

yes, milk will bubble, but if you throw in a tablespoon or two (1/4th of a shot or so) you should be good then if it's still not bubbling up too high you can add more. It can really add to the smoothness of a smoke and clouds.


Just watch it though, when your cold water/ice cubes and all heat up then the milk (could) go sour. It's only happened once but it just made it taste extra sweet, even so, all you have to do is dump the base, run some water through it, fill it up again, and go


I advise trying it sometime for mellow flavors: melon, orange, vanilla, blueberry, etc etc

just remember after one bowl you probably need to change it

I used milk before and as others said, it bubbles up and can ruin hoses. Using a small amount of milk mixed with water will work. I'ce also added powdered coffee creamer and that had the same effect, and added a nice creamy taste

Most people think put milk in the base means alll milk...I add at most 6 ounces...but usually around 2-3, and powered milk and coffee creamer works better doesn't bubble as much.

I'm firmly on Scoops side on this one. I hesitate to put anything into my hookah that has a spoilage factor, because what happens if during cleaning you miss just one tiny little bit? Rotting whatever in my hookah? I don't think so. Water works just fine.

tried soy milk on my "beater" hookah, it was nice and creamy, thick clouds, but the bubbles are a mess to clean and not worth it. Then again the "beater" hookah is tiny, so a large vase with small amount of milk could work, but you've been warned!!

Next guess would be experimenting with coconut milk, I doubt it will bubble as much as regular milk.

[mathuv]

milk = fail
coconut milk = win

i put some milk in my vase and it ruined my hose because it bubbled up so that hose tasted like ass. I'm pretty sure it made the hookah taste weird too, took a couple of washes to get the weird taste out and there's still a hint of it.

[Johnny_D]

Well done Math

Yes. Use coconut milk. I still think it's a pointless gimik, but if you gotta do it go with the coconuts not Cow.

[ilikemyusername]

i've done it. i didn't notice anything special about it, and i wont do it again.
think about it for a second...
milk in the base to make your smoke thicker.
i don't think its physically possible.
think about it.
just think about it.

if you want thicker smoke go with a better shisha, learn how to pack your bowls and get the right ammount of heat on it.

look at the design of your hookah, how is milk going to have an impact on thickness?
think about it.
just think about it.

I dunno, for me milk doesnt do annything. coconut milk works well however. btw ive seen a couple of your vids on youtube, keep it up

[hookah hippie]

Just work on your heat management and you will have really big clouds

[domas]

Sometimes I use milk instead of water, but only for banana flavour. I noticed that taste is better, but nothing special with clouds. My hoses are still working fine :]

[fiddlercrabus]

Yeah, I just can't imagine using anything that could add a rotting flavor to future hookah sessions...

[melanko]

I sometimes just use a non-dairy creamer in certain flavors. Usually if it's a flavor that would be good as an ice cream, it'll probably be fine with some of the white stuff.
