Hookah Filters

[supermo7713]

When i ordered my egyptian pharoah i got some hose tips and filters. Not sure how the filters work r if anyone uses them. Anyone think they are great? or suck?

if your talking about what i think your talking about they are not meant to be used the entire time that your smoking. They are meant to be used with non washable hoses. You put them in the hose and take 5-7 very hard hits and the filter catches any crap left in the hose. Trust and learn from my experience that you dont want to leave them in and smoke out of them the whole time. The smoke will begin to condense in the tip of them and start to taste like molasses. It might sound good, but trust me its not.

Coda is right. They are designed to stop particles left in hoses even washables (If you don't wash them often). I use them on occasion for about 5-10 puffs and then I am done with them. I believe if they are the red an clear ones you can use them about 5 times or so before chunking them

I have seen them I don't bother

ive seen several different filters..none of them work real well. They are essentially soemthing to restrict air flow and with the better ones..reduce smoke volume and taste.

I have personal experience with this actually.The flavor will shoot straight through the tip and it is terrible!

one of the types...kills the flavour in my opinion.

I use the small red ones,personally they give thicker smoke,but make the flavor kinda harsh.

you must mean" Nilotic" which comes from egypt? Brown plastic tip with charcoal grunule chamber also fits cigarettes.

I sometimes use one that has a cotton filter...It doesnt impart any taste and you know its done when it turns red...my grandpa uses it when he smokes hookah but mayb thats cuz he smokes Tambuk (the old school tobacco)
