HookahCaterpillar Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hello everyone. Heres the deal i am going to start smoking shisha on campus and i am kinda sketched out by letting all kinds of random ppl i hardly know hit my hookah. I am not greedy with my shisha i firmly believe shisha is a social thing which is one of the major reasons why i enjoy it. I know many people are going to be asking for a few puffs off my shisha. I know some people who run a lighter over the tip of the hookah which supposively kills the bacteria. Should i just play it safe and buy a bunch of those plastic mouthpieces and if ppl ask to hit the hookah hand them a mouthpiece? What would you wise people do in my situation?? As always i really appreciate the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 I was also thinking that i could use a mouthpiece and when ppl ask for a puff i will take off my mouthpiece and let them hit the hookah directly from the hose.

yashman19 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 As someone who has gotten sick because a greedy bastard decided to tell me she was sick, AFTER she had been in the rotation for a couple rounds by that point, I say yes, invest in some plastic tips. They're not that expensive, and can really save you some headaches.... Or atleast make random people who want to smoke use them. My friends that I smoke with don't smoke when their sick. And if they are just slightly sick, they still let me know so I don't catch anything. That bitch really pissed me off.... I was like, COOL THANKS FOR TELLING ME NOW... Shoulda just kept your mouth shut and didn't tell me... Anywoo, done with my rant. Get some plastic tips. Its not rude to ask someone you've never met to use a tip. They are smoking your hookah, and you just don't feel like getting mono... If they don't like it, tell them to buy their own hookah..simple as that.

HookahCaterpillar Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 o i dont think its rude to make ppl use tips i think it would be rude if i was flat out said no. When i buy a hookah they usually hook me up with a few. Ion, that would be awesome thanks. yea when i smoke shisha with my friends at home they always use a tip when there sick and let us know but up here i doubt ppl have that courtesy.

Sonthert Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 As I understand virology, the contagious stage of a virus is almost completely over by the time symptoms start. Its the ones who aren't sick (yet) that you have to watch out for. I'm not convinced tips offer any real protection.I say, be stingy, let them get their own, if you are really worried. Look at it this way, if you had a bottle of booze, would you let everyone have a sip or just the few close friends you have? Smoking your hookah is gonna be expensive enough without everyone and his brother smoking yo $hit. Then, buying plastic tips. Whew! I say, use the virus angle, tell them you don't want to risk transmitting viruses and the shpell I gave about virus infection occuring before people even begin to seem sick.

HookahDuck Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 The only way to really safe about it is with tips. And a good washing every once in a while doesnt hurt anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 True tangiers, why should i feel bad not letting everyone hit the hookah. Its not like bumming a cigarette shisha smoking is expensive. I decided instead of smoking in the common area where everyone hangs out at im gonna take my hookah over by this area right on the hudson river on campus where noone hangs out at. Its actually a nicer spot anyways with a picnic bench. I could sit there drink some tea and do my homework on the picnic bench while staring out at the river and mountains and puffin on my shisha. Whoever i want to smoke with me i will invite over to that area otherwise noone will even know people are there. Ioan is also hooking me up with some mouth tips which i will make people use as well.

HookahLion Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I have friends that even make close friends use plastic tips. I don't, but I don't let random people smoke mine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishdog Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 that or you could buy an extra hose probably washable and let everyone else use that hose while you have your own, and with that other hose being washable you could wash it pinesol or something for the other people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCaterpillar Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 lebanese, I have seen those and I have strongly considered one of those. It would be nice puffin on shisha from a metal tip rather then an annoying plastic doo-dad. Let other puff straight from the hose and have THEM get the cold its the price they pay to puff on my glorious shisha haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavlakos_politakos Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 i honestly think mouthtips are pointless,unless youre at a lounge or just as many people puffing.the plastic ones are more convenient compared to the metal ones in my opinion because theyre disposable. if your worried about bacteria and contageous viruses i dont think mouthtips will do much,if anyone is sick just tell em to back off.

Sonthert Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 As a side point, for a quick, cheap tip, just tear a small piece of foil off and put it over the end of the hose and poke a hole in it. Convenient if you don;t have to change tips often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] This is how I do it. I used to give everyone a mouthpiece of their own, but then i decided, meh, screw it, they can get colds/herpes/etc from each other, i'll take care of numero uno! I dont even use a new mouthpiece everytime i smoke, i just keep the same one until it starts looking dirty. I don't care about much else except keeping direct contact with other people's saliva out of the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where you live! Anyway, I think that you should get the keychain, I also have one. It works like a charm. I haven't gotten sick once, and I let my sick little brother (stomach virus) hit it and then I slid the keychain on and used it. I didn't get sick.
