Best Session Ever

[T355]

I am smoking the best bowl I have ever had. So I though I would share the experience,

Set up;
MZ Sirius 28'' hookah
SS Hemi Clay bowl
Laylina blueberry
Cool water in base
Wind cover

I am trying out some new coals too, which I think is what is making the difference,
They are Kingsford(yes the kind you grill with) 100% natural hardwood coals. Bought a 10lb bag yesterday for 7 bucks. I was kind of skeptical about these. But I was out of coals and they is nowhere around where I live to buy some. So I thought I would try these out(thinking they would possibly have a smoky taste and smell.

These will be the only coals I will use from now on. No taste what so ever, lit quick and they last forever, and they have virtually no smell. Lit them using a electric stove.

I packed the bowl with about 15g, but packed it a little different than I normally do. I packed it down pretty tight around the outer edges of the bowl and left a hole in the middle.

It has been an hr so far and there is still about 50% coal remaining. Thick clouds from the first draw and still going. Giving me a nice little buzz with no headache at all.

Going to take a nap soon now. If you see a bag of these coals you have to buy a bag. Cheapest and best coals I have ever used. And this laylina blueberry is the smoothest smoke I have ever had, wonderfull flavor too.

Its been a while since I have had a good session and since this is the best bowl I have ever had I thought I should share.



Whats the best session you ever had? Tell what kind of set up you were using as well as what kind of tobacco and coals you used.

buzz from Laylina? you sure its not from the bbq charcoals..lol

Layalina has nicotine compared to SB and that other nasty shit.

Now, all your sessions will just get better from now on.

I used to use those to grill with, they were clean, but they are way too large and odd shaped for a hookah in my opinion. But if it works for this guy, more power.

[momatik]

I don't think he meant those^

[NIGHTS OF BAGHDAD]

if not id like to see a picture of them...

[Hippo_Master]

And he did say "Kingsford (yes the kind you grill with)" so he obviously knew what we were going to say to him.

[Pretender85]

yeah never had a problem with layalina really..last batch was a bit dry, but for the most part its good..

and it's technically not THOSE kingsfords...they make a compressed wood line, which in theory sounds like it'd work alright

The kingsford that NOB posted are not healthy to smoke, they are worse than the worst quicklights because of the additives. But he mentioned that he used 100% natural so I might try them, I use Best of the West 100% natural coals and they are great. We use them at the hookah bar I work at and when I smoke.

[Codename067]

As long as they are natural!

I also use Best of the West.

Nice, natural, and big. Just how I like 'em.

NOOOO, not those. When I grill with those you can smell all the smoky fumes that come off those. I would never use those. I went to the local grocery store trying to find 100% natural wood coals. Not the charcoal briquettes.

I will post a picture of the bag here shortly. They look just like any other natural lump coal you buy for hookah.

[T355]

Ok here some pictures. Like I said I have always wondered if any 100% natural coals would work. And seeing that I would have had to wait a week for a online order to come through, I figured what-the-hell. If they didnt work then I was out 7 bucks and at least I would have some charcoal to grill with later. I use to only use citrus wood natural coals, but I recently moved and around where I live these is only one place to buy hookah stuff. And all they sell is quick lites( which I don't like at all) and laylina.

Anyways, I will never pay $10 for a 2lb bag of coals again, just because they say they are for hookah on the package. These are better than any other coal I have ever used. They burn nice and hot, stay lit longer than you can imagine, and have NO taste at all, and virtually no smell when lighting.

Next time you are at the store, see if they have any of these and pick up a bag. You wont be disapponted.

Should be fine then. 100% wood or coconut husk coals meant for grilling are usually fine to use, briquettes are never ok to use. IMO at least.

I hope so, I do like starbuzz though. I am wanting to try some tangiers real bad. They seem to be the boards favorite around here.

Tangiers will give you a headache. 2 headaches.

One of them is getting them to smoke right, and the second is while you smoke it.

If you are getting buzzed from Layalina [I personally don't get any], Tangiers will make your head spin.

One more thing, try smoking the same Blueberry with actual Hookah coals, and see if you are still getting buzzed. Just make sure it's not the coals [better safe than sorry].

I can taste even the smallest hint of additives in coal. So im sure briquettes wouldn't even be smokeable. They smell like lighter fluid right out the bag and im sure they taste worse than they smell.


I didn't have high hopes for these though. I kept thinking they were going to taste like I was grilling hookah lol. But like I said in previous posts, they are awesome.

I just recently started back smoking hookah. So im trying to work my tolerance back up. It wasn't a very strong buzz at all, and it took the better part of a hour to feel it.

As many times as I have seen your post talking about horchata, how could I not try it?lol

And I am in the process of making my own bowl. Very similar to the phunnel but a tad different. If it turns out like crap, then yeah, I am going to get a tang phunnel bowl. Edited December 13, 2009 by T355

Yeah for sure, both are good, I like OG because packing it is a challenge [well, it was]. There is that sense of accomplishment when you sit down, smoke it, and it smokes exactly how you wanted it to smoke.




and OP, that could be it. Very soon Layalina will not be enough to give you a buzz. Try some more Nakhla. Classic, 'I feel like I just got slammed by a bus I never saw coming', tobacco.
