guest 606 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 ok, so my mya mini-orb came from hookah-shisha yesterday and it's a great deal with the discount and the free stuff. Well i ordered about 250 grams of romman and it's making me feel like crap. romman strawberry was really good, a little buzz. romman sweet melon is really good. really light. But romman peach, it made me feel like sh*t. It gave me a good buzz but i've had a headache for the last 5 hours, literally. Anyone else with this problem?? is it just me and if so i've been thinking of trying fumari and al-amir. what do you guys think of it. (used aluminum for peach but screen for sweet melon so has anything to do with it????) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glottis Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 That happened to me with AF cherry and has happened to me, without fail, every time I have tried a strawberry flavored shisha. I like strawberries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain Soph Aur Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You're smoking too much in too short of a time. If you're new to smoking you shouldnt smoke for more then 45 minutes and wait at least 24 hours before you smoke another bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboyyy Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 i agree .... when your new to hookahing u shouldnt smoke one bowl after another after another cause it will eventually give you a headache and make you feel like sh*t ... compare it to breathing in and out of a paper bag.

zombiedepot Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yeah I agree, take a break for a while. I usually find romman peach the smoothest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettK Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I've had a few experiences feelin like sh*t after smokin a bowl... i've had experience where i say to my self " IM NEVER SMOKIN HOOKAH AGAIN" thats how bad i felt. but i think its just a rare thing that happens every once in a while becuase of different factors. ive smoked a certain flavor and got sick then smoked it the next day and loved it... it all depends.

guest 606 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 i felt the same way, I was like this totally sucks, what a waste of money but i guess i have to give it time. I shared two bowls yesterday with a few friends and one this morning so thats probably why. I've hookahed before but this is the first time that i have access to a hookah whenever i want. Is tangiers too strong cause only now am i smoking hookah regularly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding_Heart1 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 it due to lack of oxygen to the brain. When you smoke you dont take in alot of oxygen. Maybe you should try to hit it once or 2 times then lay it down for a min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40 Thieves Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Tangiers is some potent stuff; caffinated and could affect you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crepenchicha Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 You may also want to consider buying all natural charcoals. I notice a lot of folks have a hard time with the chemicals in Quick-lites like 3Kings, Golden, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Also smoking on an empty stomach is the fastest way to misery.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotaku Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 606,i don't know how long you've been smokin hookah, but i can definitaly say that Tangiers stuff isn't too noobie friendly. Its great stuff when it smokes right, and gives a good lasting smoke and flavor. What other maassell have you tried and have you felt the same way with them?

yashman19 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 [quote name='greektrash4lyf']ive gotten to the point that i almost threw up off al amir pina colada so i dont know id like to know too what causes this[/quote] I never got close to being sick from smoking AAs pina colada, but I can certainly agree with you that it tastes pretty crappy... So far its my only hated AA flavor. Everything else is atleast smokable. I ended up just giving it to my buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Some flavors have components, that if we were actually smoking fruit, are going to affect us negatively, especially at the concentrations and in the way many manufacturers add flavors to their tobaccos. Some manufacturers use dipropylene glycol to flavor their tobacco which is extraordinarily dangerous and creates an effect of headache, sweating, heart palpitaions, pressure in the chest, general pain, nausea and the like. A flavor sent to me by a company that manufactured hookah flavors by copying other manufacturers flavors contained it and I felt like I had the flu. Awful. I found out after questioning the rep. and he said many flavors have it in and we just duplicate it. Some manufaturers use ethanol (like vodka, beer, etc.) which is fine and safe if it is removed during manufacturing process, but some don't. Anecdotally, some manufacturers have started adding questionable chemicals to their large drums of tobacco so that they can use less flavor (which saves them money). Peach is a good example, I find that peach flavors give a special extra buzz all their own. I've vascillated back and forth whether it was from a component of the peach being "harsh" to the body or whether it actually served to help extract nicotine from the tobacco in tobacco that wasn't properly acclimated to the humidity. I don't know, but nicotine excess has symptoms similar to what you are describing. As was discussed on an earlier thread, you may have a slight allergy to peaches, that was exacerbated by the tobacco. If peach was the third straight bowl you smoked, it might be very likely the nicotine. The largest amounts of nicotine come out in the first 45 minutes of smoking or so. Edit:Also, smoking a hookah with a nicotinated tobacco on an empty stomach is a bad idea, similar to drinking coffee on an empty stomach, the alkaline nicotine or caffeine reacts badly in the stomach acid. At least thats what makes sense to me. Edit#2:The flavor I got containing dipropylene glycol was a pineapple flavor...pina colada, pineapple. Just another thought.

Anpu Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 yep u smoked too much too quickly. I'm still new to smoking and I got sick my 3rd time at a hookah lounge trying to get the biggest clouds I could over and over again. I knew exactly what caused my stomache to feel like crap and now I pace myself or even quit smoking for 10-15 min if my buzz starts turning into a headache. If you don't wanna leave it, just take tiny nipples and french inhale or somethin lol that's what I do good info, Tangiers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
