thehelios Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 What's your funniest hookah experience?This happened back in my starting days with hookah. I had some crappy self-lite coals that just wouldn't light up. After about 5 min. of trying to light it, some genius had the idea of using a BBQ charcoal and covering it with gasoline to light it up. I said go ahead but warned him how much of an idiotic move it was. He lights it, the whole charcoal along with fluid on the ground and the coal was red hot after 2 min. He puts it on top of the hookah, takes a drag for about 3 sec., pulls away quickly and starts throwing up on the floor. He stayed away from hookah for a little bit and learned a lesson that day.

Joshmmc Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 i havent smoked long enough to have any seriously hilarious hookah stories, but one time my buddy thot he would hugely improve the heat on the shisha by poking loads and loads of holes in the foil and 10 minutes into the session the coal fell through the foil, into the bowl and remained that way for another 10 minutes of terrible terrible smoke until we figured it out.

Codename067 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Lol. man do I got a story to tell you.My friend [clumsy guy], was sitting on the couch smoking one day. One of the hookah that I had passed to him was a tad too far...and as he pulled the hose towards him, one of the hookahs come down leaning his way and the coals fell on him [3 coals at least], then a as that hookah fell, another one fell [hoses got tangled] and that too fell towards him with at least 2 more coals [all this happened in like a second]..lol everyone was like "oh shit shit" and a minute later we were laughing about it.You had to be there to visualize what happened...words just don't deliver sometimes.

srawas89 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 man thats funny. Anyway I was at my friends house one day and we were smoking in his basement. His parents did not care as long as it was in the unfinished part away from the carpet. Well anyway we were smoking and my friend was not that far away form the hookah at all but the hose had gotten wrapped once or twice around so it was real short and I guess he didnt notice but he pulled anyway and the hookah tipped over. Now we were a good distance away from the carpet but to our luck the coal decides to get on its side and roll towards the carpet (They were quick lights). The coal stopped a good foot and a half into the carpet and it left a nice trail of black crap and a nice burn mark on the carpet. To make matters worse my friend tries to fix it with some French household cleaning solution crap. He didn't know what to do and even was thinking about putting white nail polish on the mark to cover it up haha. I was laughing so hard. Club soda got rid of some of the stain except for the burn haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybersist Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 We were all a little drunk and this annoying guy that will do anything for money walks in, so we get him to hold a quicklight in his hand for 5 sec in exchange for $300. He lasted 4 seconds before throwing the coal down and ended up with some legit burns. good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen's_Hookah Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) One time the guy who was with me starting breaking the coal to get the unnecessary ash out of the way and some tiny pieces of coal fell onto the hose and burnt a hole in it. We managed to fix the problem with duck tape, though. Now we have a new hose.Oh and one time we were smoking on my balcony and when we finished, my friend (same guy) went over to the edge and dumped the tobacco from the funnel and the funnel fell down to the grass We went down to get it and luckily it was ok.

Voski Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I was over at my friends house and there was a few of us hanging out swimming and smoking. The bowl wasn't hitting good so my friend grabs a blowtorch and goes over the bowl for a few seconds. He had done this before with no major problems so my third friend takes a hit, falls to the ground, starts dry heaving and coughing all over the place. Me and my other friend are laughing and I call him a bitch and grab the hose and take a hit. Now there are two people down and one laughing. Now the guy who torched the bowl calls both of us bitches grabs the hose and joins us on the floor. Then my other friend who was laying down on a swinging chair is laughing his ass off and calling us dumb asses. I have had a funnier time at a hookah lounge but that was because of the stories being told and not really hookah =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tons of good stories just none coming to mind. Although I've had cops come up and ask what I'm smoking and I end up getting them to sit and join me.

mikeypas Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 two stories.. one was after st-patty's celebration (so logic isn't functioning at top efficiency), we decided to hold a who-can-take the longest shisha haul competition.. my friend was throwing up for quite a while. i went to bed, and woke up some hours later, he was passed on on the toilet seat... and at another party, was smoking in the corner of the room, and people were dancing in the middle.. dropped a coal, and had to crawl on my hands and knees to try to recover it. everyone was dancing so had to squeeze between them, and people kept kicking the coal from the dancing.. took like 5 mins to retrieve the thing.. lucky the house didn't burn down...ah the stupid perils of frat house shisha smoking....

Betts Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I believe I have all these beat. Ok we were on spring break 2 years ago and I was with a few guys from my fraternity at one of their lake houses and we were all pretty drunk and one of my friends walked through the hose while somone was smoking knocking the hookah and the table it was on over as he fell to the ground. he got back up and we picked up the coals off the burnt carpet and a second later we noticed his head was smoking and told him in a very natural fashion (smacking the spot where it was smoking) so what happened was as he fell the hookah fell on him knocking one of the coals into his hooded sweatshirt (not his, one of the other guys lent it to him) and the coal burnt all the way through.

peterjmag Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) I have tons of these, but I'll start with a short one since I'm off to bed. My roommate and I were over at a friend's house, and we were slightly inebriated. We got our friend's hookah (a small Mya acrylic) all set up and ready to go, and my roommate brought it in the living room to set it down. However, in his altered state of consciousness, he decided that it would be a good idea to sit down and place the hookah directly on his lap. Luckily, the coals didn't fall directly on his crotch, they slid forward and off the couch to burn the carpet. He has since learned that hookahs aren't meant to be kept in your lap.Oh, and those flat tongs (no grip or anything, just flat metal) that you get with some Myas? Not so great for quickly grabbing coals off of the carpet. That thing sat there burning a nice hole for like 15 seconds before we gave up with the tongs and used a fork.

freezerburn456 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Got a couple for yall. Burn stories first i guess...About 2 months ago the lounge that I work at got new couches. That very night one of our drunk regulars decided to make a fast move with a hose. The coals fell onto one of the new couches. Immediately 3 waitresses are all running to get the coals off before they burn a hole in the new couch. luckily the couch was fine but one of the waitresses got a little burned.About 2 weeks ago I was having to fix a problem with a hookah that I made. One of the coals fell off the head as i picked it up off the hookah. It landed on a guys shoe and he didnt think to just kick it off, so i had to pick it up. Worst part was that I didnt have tongs. My thumb and index finger still dont have feeling.About once a week someone generally passes out from smoking too much and not drinking water all night where i work. The funniest way that i have ever seen them pass out is straight into a door. During the winter we keep the entrance closed to keep the lounge warm. The customer was already blacking out and didnt see that the door was closed and ran straight into it. Got a nice slice on his head too from the doorframe as i recall.I have more but those would cause more frowns than smiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Funniest experience for me would be my first. I got my package from hookah-shisha and get everthing set up. I ordered a 3 hose pharaoh so I was pretty excited to get it going. I'm looking around the box and I cannot for the life of me find the seals to close up the other 2 hose valves, so I end up putting all three hoses on and tying zip-bags around the ends of the other two hoses. They did pack the valve seals but they just threw them in with the packing peanuts, so I didn't find them until the next day. I start to pack my bowl with Romman strawberry and I put it on the stem just to have it shatter. I collect my thoughts and get the backup bowl ready and packed. I get the coals out (golden quicklights) and begin to light the first one only to have the thing explode in my face. I dropped the coal on the carpet but I managed to pick it up quickly. I put the coal on the bowl and sit down and begin to puff away. Because I didn't have the valve seals, I got a lot of air on my first pull. When I finally fixed that, I got a burnt carpet taste from the coal, since it burned the carpet. Long story short, it was a memorable experience.

mikeypas Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 how about this variation of the thread: most sublime hookah experiences1) smoked a hookah while living in the arctic under the northern lights2) travelling around morocco (where actually hookah is banned), finding underground places in each city to smoke3) finding hookah in really unexpected places (cusco, peru ; pushkar, india) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
