Amn_sinclair Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) alright i know this is question has been asked like a million times but im posting from my phone so its a little hard to find older posts... Anyway i got some glycerin from my local hookah shop today and its 86.5% ive been told that in germany there are regulation on how wet thr tobacco can be or something. So any idea how much i should add to my shisha? Im not even gonna lie i am lost as hell here Edited August 29, 2009 by delSol_si spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 First thing you should do is taste a drop of it and make sure it tastes sweet. If it tastes like soap, it's the wrong kind of glycerin. I add a tablespoon or a little bit more to 250g, so a little less than a teaspoon per 50g should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amn_sinclair Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) i smoke primarily orient tobacco, nahkla, and tangiers. The tangiers is ordered from us and ive noticed nothing is ever as juicy as some of the stuff i had smoked back in the states. Then i was told that germany has a limit on the amount of wetting agent permitted in shisha so i figured maybe i should give it a tryPlus i noticed a lot of the german vendors ive been looking into also sale wetting agents and i havent founf any american vendors selling wetting agents so i figurred maybe its true about the limit Edited August 28, 2009 by Amn_sinclair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMoodz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 For a standard Egyptian size bowl, I'd say 1/4 tablespoon. With glycerine, it's better to go less than more. The only brands I have ever added glycerine and honey or molasses too is Nakhla and Salloum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 be careful with that glyverin... google it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 The stuff you're importing from the U.S., like Tangiers is illegal in Germany. Ours is "pre-wetted". In Germany, its sold a little more like concentrate that you have to add more to get it to smoke right. Thats why American websites don't sell wetting agents while German ones do...
