Brad Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 So this has been happening to me lately... never did before. It only happens with certain brands though.A few friends and I will be smoking, everything going fine. Then someone will pass me the hose and I'll take a "hit" and as I'm exhaling I'll gag, like right before you throw up. It isn't like I'm feeling sick to my stomach like when I first started smoking. Its more of a reflex. I've noticed that it happens more when its strong flavor. After if happens I'm fine... I'll just take a few more shorter puffs and work my way up to normal again.Maybe that's why I like mild, smooth flavors? Does this happen to anyone else?

Mathazar Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 That happened to me this morning, after an entire day of smoking yesterday. I find that if I smoke more than 10 bowls in one day, the next day I'm pratically coughing-up a lung.Yesterday, as I'm sure you will agree, was a busy day on the forum. Well, it was for me. And, as a distraction from the day's events, I smoked a TON of ma'assel, non-stop.I don't think I will do a repeat performance today. Today I'm going to take it easy and give my lungs a good rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicada Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 the only time it's ever happened to me is when i inhale debris that's in the hose...as a result, i clean my hoses out after im done smoking for the day so it has time to dry out for the next time i smoke..

PipeSmokeMcGee Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 that's wierd, that's one of those things that might even make a brotha quit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PipeSmokeMcGee Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 o yeah, i forgot to ask, what brands does this happen with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 It happens a lot of Hookah Hookah and Pharaoh ...which is why I avoid them most of the time. Once in a while it'll happen with any brand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavlakos_politakos Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 this happens to me usually on those rare times i decide to inhale(i enjoy shisha more without inhaling)but its wierd because i am a cigarrette smoker and i DO inhale cigs with no problem.

HookahEnthusiast Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 yea ive found that if a take to deep a drag and inhale the denseness of the smoke causes me to cough as if my lungs are just filled with it and they want to get it out as quick as possible....i feel your pain brad its happened to me to...but it hasnt been due to a certain brand with me ...or atlteast not yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Sometimes, due to humidity effects, smoke will be real "heavy" due to the extra moisture in the air leaching out all the nicotine, as my theory goes. If you keep smoking the nicotine amount will drop down again...if you let it sit for a length of time, it will do it again...sound familiar? The other thing that I've noticed is with metal cased hose head pieces, they will often have a nasty, mouth numbing, metallic buildup that can only be corrected by washing, at the peril of rusting the insides.

HookahDuck Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I've noticed the same thing happening to me occasionally. Its always worse when I am first getting the bowl going, and goes away after a few minutes. Tangiers- this may support your hypothesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 You hit it dead on, Tangiers. I was looking for a word to describe the smoke but couldn't think of one. "Heavy" is exactly what it is. Now that I think about it, it alway happens when there is a pause in smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Yeah, you people thought I was crazy......Humidity effects? That's absurd! It can't happen...Tangiers is crazy!Who's sane now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I haven't really had that happen, from what I remember...but I dunno whenever I smoke anything that's .5% instead of .05% I get a massive headache for a really long time. I started smoking at least some hookah (maybe not a full bowl, like take a few drags on someone else's or something) every day for the last week and a half or so...maybe that has something to do with it. Yeah...tried some Starbuzz Sour Apple this afternoon (like 4 hours ago I finished it...) and I still have a really big headache right now. I'm thinking about those filters that supposedly cut back drastically on nicotine...that, and <gasp> staying away from Starbuzz for a little while...
