Another Homemade Shisha Question and flavoring question

[Deadlegend]

Ok so ive been reading about making your own shisha, which i think im probably gonna try, but i cant figure out which is the best type of tobacco to use.

People have talked about using everything from chew to pipe tobacco.

My question, is which type of tobacco would make it closest to actual shisha? I was thinking of using cigarrette tobacco, but idk.

Also, how do you "wash" the tobacco?

And, if i do make my own shisha, how do i add flavors to it? (other than honey or molasses)

[sleeperhit]

I would say rolling tobacco. Strips, not large cuts would make the best imo.
Washing it is soaking it.
Here is a very easy to search for but you didn't link to flavoring.

I am sorry that's just hilarious.

Get some tobacco like this: http://hookahcompany.com/iranian_tombeic_666_prd1.htm or find a local tobacconist and they can help you out.

So im planning on making my own shisha.

Ive searched the site and google and i cant seem to find the answer to my questions.

Ok, so lets say i want to make some shisha that is a fruit flavor, would i somehow use real fruit to do it?

And also, could i use something like condensed fruit juice (without watering it down of course) to flavor it?

And also could i use things like sangria, really strong coffee or things like vanilla extract?

i really need some help here, cause most of the shit i see is just to make honey or molasses flavored, theres not much on how to actually make different flavors.

Also, what does "acclimate" mean?

I went ahead and merged your two shisha making topics together if you were wondering...figured it would be easier that way, keep it all in the same place.

You can buy shisha flavoring, actually. I've tried to make my own non-tobacco shisha with tea leaves and have so far failed miserably. I made the mistake of adding real molasses and it tasted nasty. I don't like the taste of molasses, don't know why I thought I'd like smoking it.

I know I've seen shisha drops/juice in the states but this was the only link I could find just now: http://blog.hookahshop.co.uk/hookah-shisha...o-back-to-life/

There are more than a few threads here, I believe, on homemade shisha.
