h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 hey i recently bought a jar of hookah-hookah herbal shisha and i used it to day but it didnt work too well. any tips on how to use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakas Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 By "didn't work too well" do you mean that the envigorating aspect of the shisha wasn't really there?I was under the assumption that this herbal stuff could be used straight out of the can thing but maybe you should let it acclimate like real shisha.

h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 haha nono i meant that i could barely get any smoke. when i put the coals on the foil then i took the foil off and put the coals on top of the shisha and it got a bit better. my problem is i dont know why it took so long for me to get smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 wait how do you let it acclimate like real shisha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakas Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Going out on a limb here as my experience with herbal blends is very limited, but, if they're anything like regular shisha, just let the shisha sit out in a container where you're going to smoke for a little while so it can get used to the moisture content in the air, temp etc.But that's usually a solution to lack of [i]taste[/i] so I'm not sure if it would help you out with your smoke probs.Also, what kind of hookah were you using?

malakas Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Oh, if you want to moisturize the shisha don't use water, use something like honey or fruit preserves. Only use a little (maybe a pencap full for like two bowls of shisha) and then massage and mix it up with tongs or your fingers. Hmm, you shouldn't have to do that with new shisha though...Oh and nice hookah, how does the bad boy smoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 ohhh i see thanks a lot ill try it tomorrow. it hits really good i need to clean the stem though. would mouisturizing the shisha really help it smoke better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I'd say... let it sit out open in the area you are going to smoke in *so it'll get to be the right humidity*. Then maybe use more coal or double layer the foil? I'm guessing it's just the heat management... I'm sure it's not gonna be something like salvia where you have to hold a lighter to it for the puffEDIT: To add to the comment above I just saw... no, I wouldn't suggest to just add honey or w/e to make it wetter at first... just let it acclimate at first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malakas Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yeah, that honey thing is good for like hella dry, OLD shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 ohhhh hahaha thanks you guys ill try it tomorrow when my moms not home and tell you how it goes. thanks a lot oh by the way would double layering the foil allow me to get better smoke?

skiracerj1 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 what kind of coal and how much did u use, also how much did u pack in your bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh Owntt Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I find that the thinner the foil, the better. But thats just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 i use the golden japanese charcoals. i packed like 25 grams of shisha in the bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Never add water. Water kills the smoke, more than anything. I also believe honey, glycerine and anything else are contraindicated for addition. If it goes bad, throw it out and get new stuff...although it shouldn't go bad except for citrus flavors and perhaps pineapple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0rnee Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 oh so the best thing to do is just let it acclimate before i smoke it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calcartman Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Uhhh, maybe I'm going out on a limb here...Heat + Anything = Smoke.Lack of heat + Anything = no smoke.My guess is you just didn't have enough heat going. Try using a bit more coal and see if that doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Maybe it don't smoke right...I've heard similar things about Soex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 There was that chick who posted a while back saying that her boyfriend got her that Black herbal shisha and that it smoked really well...... but was that [i]really [/i]a chick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah, somebody comes on once, tells us how great it is, and is never heard from again.<A Tool!><A Tool!>Sorry, I have an allergy to tools...make me sneeze.<A Tool!>There it goes again. There's only one woman I know is a woman, and thats Surfpico, Serpico, Heat, Heather or hot mama, as I like to call her. Every other "woman" I have doubts about when they put their Glamour Shits Avatar up there. Sorry, thats Glamour Shots. The i is next to the o. Posed photography always makes me suspicious. Besides Soup, who puts a posed photograph up? OK, Cymptom too, oh and my Avatar is posed, actually. Good likeness, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Dayz Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I've smoked the new herbal stuff, and the best way to describe it=it just don't smoke right. Another way to describe it-whispy. The whole herbal hookah-hookah is very interesting overall, but its not shisha, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymptom Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Anybody wanna send ol' cymptom a sample? I'll give it to some chick, and then she'll let you guys know how it smokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macho555 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I was getting ready to try a few tubs myself..but if it doesnt work well, then I just won't bother. I maybuy some Soex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
