Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 So anyone else ever have an unintentional and unwanted break from hookah? I've been smokeless now for like 3-3.5 weeks. First I was almost out of baccy so Jez was awesome and sent me stuff, then I started having majorly bad sessions with QLs and since that's all I can buy locally I have no coal source, and to top it off my shittily thin rotator's hoseport and purge valve are both leaking something major and the friend who promised to let me borrow some JBweld to fix it never did, and since I have no coals anyway I decided what's the point in a temporary electrical tape fix if I can't smoke?So now I'm stuck waiting till FAFSA comes in for my wife since we had to use the fat wad I had saved for my order (new hookah, coals, shisha, hose, etc.) for bills...AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!IJUSTWANNASMOKESOMEFUCKINGHOOKAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbb123 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 that sucks dudeI went a few weeks with out before cause i ran out of supplies and cash. Then another week cause i went on vacation with my parents. Accually right now I wont be able to smoke till sunday night cause I'm in Loveland Colorado for my cousins wedding.The last few weeks I've only had a few crappy flavors left. An order of Tangiers will be waiting for me when I get home!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I had my tonsils taken out last Monday, so it's no smoking for me as well. Not being able to smoke because you're in pain totally sucks balls. I'm in constant pain and I can't sleep and can't eat. I lost 30 pounds in a little over a week. I wish I never had my tonsils taken out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priapus Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 the longest unintentional break i've been without smoking my hookah is 3 months... i was in hospital and they wouldn’t let me take it in. by the time i got home, my shisha was all dried up because it wasn’t sealed correctly. i swear, if it weren’t for the morphine, i would’ve gone crazy!!! lol!good news for you buddy, is that when you take that first blast, you'll be buzzed out!!!

leadpipecinch21 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 i just took about a 3 month break over the summer...it wasn't fun. i was out of tobacco, out of money, and in debt for my car, so...no smoking for me. i smoked a couple times(less than 5) with a friend, but that doesn't really count Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Haven't smoked since beginning of august: hookah needed replacement, ran out of tobacco, and made a big order on h-s. My order left the US august 16th at 8.08 pm (hooray for tracking numbers), and I still don't have it. Really frustrating; new hookah, lots of tobacco and craving for a smoke + delayed order= sucks balls!!! I WANT MY MYA! ! ! phew, glad that's off my chest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename067 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Wow, that really sucks...I can survive 3 weeks of not smoking, but I am sure it will be hard..so hopefully to smoking soon man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staygone Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Smoked once the past couple weeks for me, plan on making my break a little bigger.Hang in there ninja, you can always take the bike out for a spin to ease off the hookah needz.-QM Edited August 21, 2008 by QuiltedMaple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezter6 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 yeah - it sucks. the moment you get the tobacco you need to tide you over a few weeks the hookah decides to go out on you.I don't know how you haven't tried to make a homemade hookah.good luck man. i've been thinking of cutting back some becuase I got into a multiple bowl per day habit that I'm no longer comfortable having.

Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Thanks for moving the post, mods. Oops!QUOTE (modisess @ Aug 21 2008, 02:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>why not go to a hookah bar?ummm....read the op? no moneys hence the problem in the first place...And why would I pay absurd ammounts of $$$ to smoke one (most likely) crappy bowl that I didn't even prepare myself? Mark stays faaaar away from hookah bars Yeah 3 weeks doesn't sound too bad but I had a series of crappy smoke sessions before that for a good 3 weeks so it's been roughly 1.5 months since I've had a quality session (still dreaming of that Esk Apple and Orange soda, SIV) and when you visit this place everyday it gets rough Sounds good Tati but next week starts the grueling semester of school for the wife so it'll be next to nothing but work and watching the kids for me (hence the twitchy desperation for muh hookah lol. Yeah QM I'm feenin for a ride as we speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdx88 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I havent smoked since the beginning of august. Just been way to busy with work and then on vacation...well im moving back to school tomorrow and my gf is coming with me. So im thinking that it is time to smoke a nice long bowl tomorrow night after unpacking. Wont be anything great since im trying to get rid of some stuff(that I do like but now knowing better wont buy again) I'll prolly end up smoking HH blueberry and raspberry which is a great combo. This is all according to plan unless alcohol becomes involved which means no smoking since we are a dry campus =(. Since its this time a year anyone else feeling the pain from switching from nats to QLs? I have been using cocos all summer and now back at school I cant light them because I dont want the alarms going off.Ninja do you like jasmine? Cuz I dont and its enough for a bowl or so but not worth trading so if you want it, its all yours. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Ninja Robot Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Thanks for the offers guys! I love this community Really I'm just venting lol. I'm going to let this be a lesson in patience and self discipline since I'm really looking foward to placing my future big order and it's kindof fun (in a twisted way) to build up the suspense. It'll be so much sweeter when I finally do get my stuff. Kindof like Christmas for hookah lovers.And Pilgrim that sucks man, sorry. I guess we're lucky to be in the US.
