Bulldog_916 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 No. I think you need to post pictures of how you pack your bowl and how you poke your holes and everything. I think somewhere along the way you are screwing something up. You shouldnt be hunched over like that just off Starbuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHarding Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 QUOTE (fcbayern @ Feb 27 2009, 02:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>OK so I guess i"m gonna try something different with my coals.. The potion shisha that came with my rig brought some Japanese style silver painted coals.. Should I try these? Are they QL as well? or should I stick to the 3kings and wait a little longer before putting them on the bowl.. i definately do not light them on the bowl, but i do put them on after the top is red, no necessarilly ALL over red..Noooooooooooo!Those are cheap chinese rip-off ones. They STINK and they'll make you really sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megidolaon Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I think it might be the coals. I have natural lemon wood coals and a ton of quicklights from free crap that got thrown in with some of my hookah purchases... even though the quicklights do, er, light quickly I found I had to 1) light them outside (never indoors) in a well ventilated area, 2) wait till they were red hot + wait another 5ish minutes.It could also be that you weren't a big smoker beforehand? I didn't smoke before taking up hookah smoking, and I a year later still get a buzz that can knock me off my feet if I'm not paying attention.Coals would be the main thing, but it is probably a combination of several factors mentioned in reply to your post (best bet for your health would be to assume that anyways).edit because my proofreading sucks Edited February 28, 2009 by megidolaon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned a lot about carbon monoxide 6 years ago when a friend died and his wife and daughter were in the hospital and had were put in an iron lung. He had worked on their heater and something was not done right and his sons had stayed over with friends and came home the next morning and found them all passed out and unresponsive.This did not apply to them but one thing that I read during that time I did not know is that carbon monoxide can build in your system over time. It does not leave your system for a long time. So let's say you have a car with carbon monoxide leaking into the cab. You can get carbon monoxide poisoning over the course of a week or so that could put you in the hospital. It does not have to be lethal levels all at one.The symptoms you got did not sound too good man. I don't know if that could be anything to do with carbon monoxide poisoning but it is way too serious and something that hits really close to home with me not to at least bring that up. Whatever it is your body is obviously not too happy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcbayern Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 OK guys I just finished up a 2 hour session with no buzz what so ever,, no head ache, no nausea. I'm not quite sure what it was but, I ate a good meal and drank lots of water before smokin. I lit my coals and let them ash over for a good while before putting them on. I also paced my smoking only letting my self take 2 big deep hits every 5 minutes.. I also drank plenty of water during my session.I have to learn to manage my heat better though, I had times of huge yummy clouds then they would thin out. I put on fresh coals and back to huge clouds. Plus after my session (2hours) if found that half the shisha inthe bowl was unburned. I was till getting great taste all the way till the end..all in all a great session. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
