Sensualpanda Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hello Hookah Forums! I'm pretty new to Hookahs/Shisha and ive been smoking quite a lot since I bought my first Hookaha. I just have a bunch of questions to ask and i'd like to mention a few things i've tried. I live in Canada so everything to do with Hookahs is EXTEREMELY overpriced, so there isnt much I can do about it. I bought my hookah from a local Smoke Shop for around $60, and trust me it was not worth it. (Pics soon!). My first question is about the water in the vase. I have tried putting different kinds of tea (Steeped, then iced) into the vase which has shown amazing results. It really adds to the flavour. For example, I put iced mint tea in the vase and my smoke had a nice minty aftertaste. Would you reccomend doing this? or should I just stick to regular cold water? My second question is about mixing herbal and Tobacco shisha together in the bowl. When I first started, the only thing I had to smoke was soex brand herbal shisha which was terrible. My friend introduced me to Nakhla tobacco, but I found it to be very expensive ($10 for 50g) at the local Smoke Shop. Could i possibly mix the Nakhla with a better brand herbal shisha such as Salaam and still get a slight buzz and great taste? Also, I found the pipe tobacco is a lot cheaper than shisha tobacco. Would i be able to buy some pipe tobacco ($15-$20 for 300g) and mix it in with some herbal shisha or smoke it by itself without too much harshness? Thanks, Appreciate any help!

Scott Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You can use a liquid other then water in the vase, it just helps if you don't put anything very sticky in there because it can be a pain to clean. I've never mixed herbal and regular tobacco, but it might taste good. You'll have to give it a try. I would stay away from the pipe tobacco, unless you're going to try making some shisha yourself. I figure if you throw it in with some other shisha it will just take away from the experience of smoking just the shisha. Hope that helps a bit.

Hippo_Master Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If you want the buzz that much why don't you just use snuff or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venger Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I would make your own out of the pipe tobacco. I am planning on giving it a shot. I have sorghum which is like molasses and lavender. just need the glycerin and bacci. Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepItSimple Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Order shisha online man, you can get 250g of Nak for $10. If your sketched about using a credit card then get the pre-paid visa cards or something. But $10 for 50g of Nak is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 $10 for 50g of Nakhla? Fuck me running... I pay $5 for 250g at my local shop.... Order online dude. I know www.hookahjohn.com ships to Canada. Some other good sites, but I'm not sure about shipping to Canada: -www.hookahcompany.com -www.hookah-shisha.com Welcome to the world of online ordering...

Sensualpanda Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the info. I don't solely care about the buzz, but i enjoy a bit of a buzz and the complexity of the tobacco flavours. I think I will start buying online, and yes I am quite sketchy about ordering shisha with my credit card. Is there any prepaid allternatives in Canada? (Never used one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_T Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 +1 to everything Chris (INCUBUSRATM) said, it's definitely worth it to order online, esp. being up in Canada. John is pretty discreet with shipments so you should be fine. As you using different liquids, I say go for it. I wouldn't recommend milk or carbonated soda (leave it out a while if you want to use some so it's a bit flat). I know I've used tea and it was a nice little addition to the flavor. Some juice can be quite good, also some wine/water combo can be good (esp. with a grape flavor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
