Does Anyone Else Get A Buzz From Smoking?

[HookahHo]

All of my hookah friends swear it's in my head, but I get a SUPER head rush when ever I smoke hookah, it's intense sometimes, does anyone else experience this?

I think it's from all of the inhaling/exhaling, it's not a "buzz" sort of high.

[modisess]

are.. you.. smoking.. tangiers?

well i get buzzes only from one brand and that's nakhla, but it's more of a relaxing buzz like it numbs you're body for a bit but not like a head rush or some sort.

ha, wow, guess I was wrong, never knew that you could get a buzz from shisha, where do you get nakhla?

Check around the forum, look at the vendor reviews, tobacco reviews, pipe reviews etc.

[mushrat]

ya...youy can get a nocotine buzz from shisha..

I smoke Tangiers K-peach and even though i smoke it all day, 5-6 days a week, When i start my fiorst bowl of the day i still get a bit of a head rush. Goes away quickly though.

Ditto, I usually have a buzz about the first 5 mins of a bowl, I smoke 4-5 times a week, but I've heard the more you smoke the less you'll get a buzz. Also, if you smoke cigs and such you may not get much of a buzz from the hookah. I remember when I first got in to hookah I would get lengthy buzzes, now they are fairly short. Hookah does relax me though, and it's great for movies and writing papers or things of that nature.

here is my question, i've smoked with some people and the bowl lasted FOREVER, and when I do it, it burns up within 15 min. what am I doing wrong?

[NarghileNights]

i get a buzz every time i smoke. part of it is the nicotine, part of it is the fact that you are depriving yourself of oxygen.

Without knowing your set up id guess you are using too much heat and are burnign the shit out of your tobacco.

I have the larger self lighting coals right now, can I cut them in half and use them?

Sounds like you have 40mm coals. You can break them into halves and when using them, remember to keep them on the edges of the bowl and not the middle

[modisess]

yeah you can, and you should. one thing to remember with the quicklite charcoals is that when you put them on the bowl and the coal covers most of the foil, you should break em' in half or in three pieces.

but, best advice is that you go with some natural charcoals!

[WcWorldwide]

I did, I just purchased some Chron*cs

[Stuie]

I use to. Now unless i am lighting up a bowl after at least 4 days of no smoking I get nothing...unless it's Tangiers F-Line. Then I still do.

[Zachfersure]

yeah I get huge buzzes and get nauseous. I think it's because I only smoke like twice a week and only been smoking a month.

[melanko]

I still get good buzzes when I smoke. I generally smoke Al Fahker which is a washed brand, therefore lower nicotine. That's also due in part that I do not smoke cigarettes so I am not used to the high amount of nicotine.

So, your friends are either regular smokers and do not get effected much by the low nicotine of shisha, or they all have an abnormal amount of nicotine tolerance.

As far as your shisha burning up quickly, you need to practice good heat management. First off, start using those natural charcoals exclusively; you'll notice a huge difference between quicklight and natural charcoal. Second, don't pack as much shisha; make sure the shisha is not touching the foil. It may take longer to get started but will last longer and give you a much better smoke with no burning. Finally, be sure to flip/ash your charcoals regularly and have some back up coals to replace the spent ones.

Oh, and happy holidays everyone.

I get a nicotine buzz from the first bowl of the day....unless it's Starbuzz, go figure...but their tobacco seems to be weaker than the other brands. Al Waha tends to give me a rather intense nicotine buzz, enough so that I will stop smoking for about 15 minutes to get over it.

As for coals, I found it happens faster with QLs, probably due to the more intense heat they tend to have starting out. I'm starting to become a fan of natural coconut coals though (CH brand).

i get good buzzes occasionally. then there are also bad buzzes and then just light head-ness from inhaling/exhaling too often.

Pretty much same for me. Ill usually get a buzz within the first few puffs - after a couple minutes. Then it's gone usually in 5 minutes, and won't really come back.

[Dirk Skene]

Yep, I do. I think it's lack of oxygyn.

I've pondered that its more the lack of oxygen when pulling constantly...your brain's not getting clean oxy


But some brands (specifically those with a "bluer" tinge to the smoke) are more "high"ish. Starbuzz, and weird random Jordanian types.

[ambuletzd2h]

i smoke almost daily and like mushrat said my first bowl also i get kinda a head rush but only for about 10 mins, then ill be fine for the rest of the night

[dafunk5446]

none what so ever anymore, only time I did was when I hadn't eaten or drank anything that day, and hadnt smoked a cig.

[sportsfan6216]

Like most other people have said i'll get one right off the bat but it goes away..... the only time that i'll get one after that is when one of my friends will stop for whatever reason (light another coal, grab a drink, whatever) and i just hit it non stop (8-10 back to back hits) but that is almost definatly oxygen depravation. I've only smoked washed tobaccos and really don't smoke cigs often (just with friends when we go out).
