Nikotelopico Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I recently got my "first" hookah. (I had a small one that I bought from a local shop, but it's a cheap cheap one) but I just got a KM 1001 nights hookah and this thing is f-ing HUGE. the difference between this and the cheap one is...EVERYTHING! But, I've only smoked it twice since I've had it. I really want to smoke it, but I get home around 9pm and have to be up for work at 4am so I don't have time for full session. Makes me sad.

Skoozle Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I feel your pain. I have a 1 year old daughter so I rarely get a chance to smoke. Sounds like you barely have time to sleep, but of you have 30 min of free, you can set up a bowl and smoke for a little bit then just leave it set up and smoke the same bowl a little more the next night if you are using decent tobacco. I once left a bowl sitting for a week and then threw come coals on it and it smoked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magick777 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Aww, that sucks. Personally, I've found my sessions have gotten shorter as I've gotten more experienced; if you're smoking something that lights quickly and produces a rewarding smoke from the outset, who needs a 2-hour session? The most constructive suggestion I can make is look for some relatively shaped natural coals that will light through in 5 minutes, something like Abo Alabed, and combine with a tobacco that lights easily and tolerates being relit a few times, such as Tangiers. Typically, those coals only last about 45 minutes, but one set will often do fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikotelopico Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hey, thanks for your responses. I had heard of re-lighting shisha, but I always thought it would dry out and give a foul taste. Right now, I use Fantasia...any comments on how this tobacco would respond to being lit multiple times?

joelhookah Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I have personally never had much luck relighting a bowl. I have pulled the burnt stuff out and reused the good stuff, but never just left it as is and then relit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I will throw more coals on a bowl that has only been one round if I was studying or something the night before but what I generally do to save my precious shisha is simply remove the foil and the burnt top layer of tobacco and put some fresh tobacco on top of it if the bowl isn't fully cashed. Smokes basically like a fresh bowl from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I relit fantasia yesterday actually i had a bowl the day before for about an hour, and i had to leave so i could not finish. yesterday i lit it back up and smoked it. it didnt taste as strong as the day before but still a good smoke. dont expect the same strong flavour and clouds though.

atalanta Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I feel your pain. I tend to smoke on weekends since I don't have time during the week. I like to set aside 2 hours for a session. But BF lately has been asking to smoke shisha so I've been relenting during the week. Once I have it perfected, I'll have to teach him (just make sure he doesn't smoke up all my shisha LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atalanta Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Wanted to add - I was going to smoke Sunday night and packed an egyptian with Fantasia Pumpkin Pie. Smoked it yesterday and it was still good but I think some of the juicy goodness had leaked out (it's very wet). Not as much cloud but that could also be because I put on a second hose (BF wanted his own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satou Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I understand your pain, coming from the stand point of being a full time student and a part time worker that they want to over work in a retail store (lol Target). You just have to 'adjust' your free time a little bit in order to fit in a Hookah session, and that you can honestly smoke while doing anything - reading, watching tv, video games and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epoch Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Perhaps invest in a small bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a glass phunnel that I'll be breaking in (hopefully not breaking ) this weekend. I was thinking that I can then pre-pack that and then poke the holes when I have the time to smoke.

angekfire Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I just haven't had much free social time lately, and since I don't smoke alone, that means I haven't had a lot of time to smoke. I've probably smoked maybe 4 times since mid July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
