scratchy Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 When I'm having a good session, ussualy about 30-45 minutes in, I start chocking on every draw. It's as if the flavour becomes too overwhelming for my lungs. It's not harsh or anything, I just start coughing when I inhale. As if the flavour is too strong for my throat. It's weird, because the session will be going good. I notice this happen mostly when the coals start to go down and the smoke thins out, could this be the cause?The bowl isn't done either, 90% of the shisha is still good when I take off the foil.Any one else get this or is it just me?Oh ja, I also started getting a runny nose, not sure if it's from the coughing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inino Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Smoke with more people. It will give you a break between hits. When I smoke alone I cant smoke more than thirty minutes, but with people I can go all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxx Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 If you don't want to smoke all that long, add 1 more half coal with the tiny ones bunched up+ a wind cover, that should give you a bit more time to smoke without using a bunch of coals. Works for me, give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacob Shock Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I just rotate the coals. when your chocking on the smoke its a coal problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotsi95 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 I could be dehydration too. Make sure to drink some water or tea when you smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Yeah, cinnamon flavor has a high boiling point, the rice milk, much lower. The rice milk by itself is kinda obnoxious. Add more heat to get the cinnamon back in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
