mushrat Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Wrong? I don't think there's a "wrong" in this case. I inhale. I find it impossible to get a good bowl going with lots of nice smoke and flavour just by mouth puffing. Not enough air flow through the bowl.... To quote Sariel, just my opinion..I could be wrong.

Sonthert Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I've smoked with some of the oldest, crustiest, bad-a$$ Arab dudes ever. There's a Persian Men's Club here in SD, I've smoked lotsa places, everybody inhales. When I started, I wouldn't inhale, but I was used to cigars. The old guys are still trying to figure out how to beat me in chess and backgammon!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahDuck Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 It never even occured to me not to inhale! It was just so delicious smelling and inviting. Cigars never really appealed to me, and when given one, I puffed it because inhaling didnt sound enjoyable. Hookah on the other hand is the opposite.

Soup Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 When inhaling, draw the smoke over the tip of your tounge. You'll get much more flavour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wyteboy Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 don't know how you can get thicker smoke and more flavor and a better bowl WITHOUT inhaling... too bad I got pneumonia forever ago and haven't smoked in like 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Soup: Different taste receptors are located on different parts of the tongue. [url="http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Molbio/MolStudents/spring2000/patton/only/review.html"] [url="http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Molbio/MolStudents/sprin"]http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/Molbio...lStudents/sprin[/url][/url] g2000/patton/only/review.html The sweet receptors are primarily located on the tip of the tongue, so that would make sense for sweet ma'asells. Another useless fact brought to you by the Rat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I see people who exhale through their nose all the time saying "it all tastes the same", what else needs to be said? I've only found one flavor that accurately transmit a salty flavor, almost all other flavors in hookah smoke are sweet or bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakedandangry Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Well, ive been smoking cigarettes and another mysterious green herb for a while before hookahing.. so inhaling just comes naturally to me. It also seems to make the whole process more.. dramatic. Taking a minute to inhale, letting the smoke swirl around your lungs for a second, then calmly exhaling seems natural. Puffing on the hose like a madman seems.. idk. not right? to me at least. -Naked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
