Dry Vs Wet

Ok. I've noticed that shisha looks like it weighs a lot less than it does. For example, I can get a 250 g tub of shisha, but if I eye ball it, it looks to be about 1oz of actual tobacco being used. Could the liquid (glyerine, molasses, or honey) cause the weight to change? Exactly what's the tobacco to liquid ratio to get a 250g container of shisha?

From my own experiments with trying to make shisha I believe that 1/2 of the mix is usually syrup. This varies by brand but alot of it is definitely the liquid.

I find that personally I like the wetter mixes because often this translates into more flavor.

I've noticed that myself. I like wet shisha also. It sounds like it's a 50/50 mix, so about 2 ounces of tobacco per oz of syrup.
