hoo-of-the-kah Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey...kinda need help over here.I'm new to hookah/shisha...last night after i was doing a session of apple and mint smoking for about 1 hour, i puked out.What was wrong?I was using 2 pieces bulk coal (that's the only one available around here), a medium hookah, and smoked it over an foil with shinny side down...I used to use mineral water as based, but last night i kinda experiment with tap water, slices of lemon and ice cubes.can anybody tell me what's wrong?Thanks before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 How long have you been smoking? Water or anything like that should have no effect on your puking... I ask how long you've been smoking, because if your body isn't used to nicotine, you could have had a bad effect because of that. My buddy took a bunch of his friends to a hookah bar, and one guy who smokes weed like its his job had never smoked hookah, or anything with nicotine for that matter, and ended up yaking in my friends car on the drive home...And because of it, my friend who was driving took his car into a big rock wall... Everyone was ok, but yeah, the car was gone But if you have smoked tobacco in the past and this is the first time puking, I couldn't tell ya... Maybe your tobacco went bad? I've never heard of that happening, but I don't know.. Sorry to hear of your yakage anywoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzing Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 hahah.no, but seriously, tap water is the devil. i invested in a filter made by dupont, the very same company that pollutes our water. i figured they'd know best how to clean it up. i think i was right, i've had FAR better results with the filtered water.plus, i've had that problem with bulk coals before. make sure you don't get too much ash in the holes of your foil. this can kill you. well, actually just make you puke. i have no idea why this occurs. i recommend using a screen. that way if you f**k up and get a bunch of ash all over it, you can lift it off and dump the ash into the tray, giving you a proverbial clean slate. [if it's proverbial, wtf proverb does it come from?] all i know is, once i started being careful of the ash, i have had far better results , and far less of the chalky vomitous death quality that the coals sometimes impart.

dizzing Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 and yashman, sure you have. mr bubble and i can both attest to nakhla strawberry's tendency to get lethal over time. don't believe it? get some nakhla strawberry, take it out, stir it up, whatever. put it in a tupperware/gladware container, exchange the air in it every day for a few days, and just let it sit for a month or two.. take that sucker out afterwards, pack a bowl, and tell me again your theories on ma'assel and vomiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos_politakos Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 i had something similar happen to me at a hookah bar(actually a hookah cafe).i was smoking nakhla melon(which i usually enjoy)and drinking a can of tangerine shweppes.i just suddenlly got nautious,went out for some air,and ended up puking up a stom.but then again i had just left another cafe where i killed 3 packs of cigarrettes and had 6 coffees,all on an empty stomach.

yashman19 Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well I guess I shouldn't have said it couldn't have been the water or old ma'assel, because like Dizzing just said, he proved me wrong. I suppose I just don't have such a wussy stomach like him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've seen it too. When humidity is affecting the tobacco, it can smoke very heavy, with lots of nicotine, which will make you quite ill, since it is a poison. I've seen people drink water, which redissolves the nicotine coating your insides and takes it to your stomach which rejects something so alkaline and sends it back up.

hoo-of-the-kah Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 So...it's either the tap water contaminated, or the bad massel or the ash from the coal...hmm...i'll try not to use the tap water anymore...will be back to give another report..

Sonthert Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Even better, Mushy, there was a post from some guy, on his first day on the forum, named Tangiers in your link. Now we know that Nahkla is just as good a tobacco, but it has nicotine where Fakher, Al Amir, Starbuzz and many others have it almost all removed. If you smoked a nicotinated brand for your first time, it could have been quite a shock to your system. Rewatch the excellent "Leave it to Beaver" episode where Beaver and Larry Mondello borrow Ward's pipe that Fred Rutherford sent him from Germany and smoke it. They get sick as dogs. Smoking tobacco will do that, unless they remove the nicotine, then it only causes cancer and lung disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
