Arcane Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 probably just a gimmick...also, it says it clears up "harsh" smoke....i guess that could be a bad thing, because you'd want to know when your smoke is going harsh so you can adjust the heat.....it might actually be more counterproductive.... waste of money imo....

jan019 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Sounds strange, but i would give it a go. For 4 bucks why not? Although it's only for the sessions that sucks and i think it will be totally useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yea, I don't think that works. They show the before and after photos. I don't think they accounted for the shisha juices to color the little balls, cause I highly doubt thats tar coloring those balls.

jorlyfish Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Wonder what kind of bowl and shisha they used... I know my base water gets kinda funky looking with a non-phunnel type bowl and a super juicy shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyCallMeDave Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Assuming this stuff even DOES work, I'm not looking to spend another pretty penny to give a little extra to my smoke filtration. The difference between a smoke with or without smoke screen doesn't seem to be enough for me to even begin to care. Plus, hookah is timeless. And putting little white microballs in my vase water not only sseems ridiculous, but just kind of creepy. Next thing you know, we are going to be attatching gauges and meters to our hookahs to measure it's levels at all times. Leave me alone world, I just want to smoke.

OddBall Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 [size="3"]It looks like a catalytic converter on a car, and that begs the question of what sort of process occurs for it to filter the smoke more. Stick with a plastic diffuser they work like a charm to smooth the smoke out a bit.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 to filter the smoke also means to filter whats IN the smoke, like the flavour. good luck but no thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelLCP Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Sorry for the 6 month bumb. Just got a sample of the stuff and did a review. Should be up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyyCurt Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 looks like a joke. no matter what, ur water is gunna be somewhat dirty at the end of your smoke session. this stuff just absorbs the water, and since its dirty it changes color. emptying the water people are gunna see this and notice the change in color, giving them satisfaction. i highly highly doubt you are gunna notice an improvement in the taste.

dragon Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Sounds ridiculous from the scientific point of view: this stuff absorbs harsh smoke from the water, but not the water itself and not the flavour? Pretty picky considering that it's *in* the water! And as it doesn't even change in size nor it dissolves in water I highly doubt that it filters anything at all; it's just a piece of hard matter. Scam for believers, imho, unless you were initially looking for balls changing colour and nothing else. Edited May 12, 2011 by dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
