Headaches With Nakhla?


Recommended Posts

I'm just curious- my buddy and I smoked Nak for the first time last Thursday night. We both woke up on Friday morning with headaches, but we drank no alcohol the previous night.

Has anyone else experienced this with Nakhla?

First time with unwashed... I've been smoking Starbuzz, Fantasia, Al Waha, Fumari and a few others for years. This was the first time I really kicked it up.

EDIT: And the headache was very similar to a hangover. Edited by jayson

Yeah, perhaps the nic content was what did me in. It went to the dome pretty damn quick. I thought for a few minutes that someone stuffed some NHT in the bowl while I wasn't looking, but I knew that was impossible, since neither me nor my friend is into that. Felt good, man.

We are going to be trying out the Orange flavor tonight. Hookah.gif Edited by jayson

I'm done smoking Nak for that very reason. The first time was good, then every time after that I had severe headaches, and the last time I smoked for an hour through wide grade hoses and puked when I stood up.

Not a fan.


It's the same reason I'll never drink Captain Morgan again, or any other spiced rum for that matter. The first shisha that makes you puke...bleh.

Yeah, it'll happen. I think often the glycerine drys out the sinus cavities in the head and causes something like a sinus headache. Alcohol can do the same thing.



i'm thinking this too...along with the nicotine buzz....

Stronger nicotine then most other "regular" brands out there.

I used to get light headed. If your not hydrated you could get a headache.

If you smoke too much you could get oxygen deprivation and get a headache.

If you are hungry and smoking you could get a headache.

If your blood is thin / thick over where it should be and INCIDENTALLY you are smoking hookah, you could get a headache.

I smoked only AF for the longest time, when I tried some Nak, I got very very ill to the point where I still can't smoke anything melon.... You just aren't used to the nicotine content yet, at least that is what happened with me...

what kind of coals were you using, and were they red hot?


Your coals, brother! And yes, they were definitely cherry throughout.

Smoked 2 bowls with my buds tonight- one strawberry orange mix and one jasmine. Guess we will find out tomorrow if Nak gives me a hangover. _sheesha2__by_Majunka_aurore.gif

I can get a headache from Nakhla the day after if I either a) Don't drink enough water that day, or b ) If I smoke too close to bedtime. Even more so with Tangiers, probably because it's even higher in nicotine content. Edited by Balthazar

Indeed Balthazar.

Woke up today feeling not great but not bad. No real headache, but I'm going to pop a few ibuprofen to be sure. I kinda feel as if I stayed up too late last night (which I didn't), but the feeling is similar.

drink while you are smoking and dont take huge power rips, and also remember to take a little while of fresh air between hits...i cant believe noone said that but especially with high nicotine shisha you cant sit and just breathe that the whole time you need to definately smoke slower so you can avoid that..i had a lot of issues with it when i first started but now i always have about a liter of water and something to munch on while i hookah so i avoid it.
