i smoke hookah almost every night but decided to go to a hookah bar and got a huge buzz but when i smoke my own hookah i don't get hardly anything i used the same shisha but i have a K&M 42inch hookah an they used a nammor 30inch i feel like these are both equally good hookahs and should be able to produce a good buzz i mean this was a HUUUGE buzz like complete body numbness anyone have any ideas?[/size][/font][/color]

More likely then not you got carbon monoxide poisoning which gave you the buzz. This could have come from the coals, the amount you smoked, not being hydrated etc.

i know some hookah bars put in dry tabacco along with sisha, that may have been the case?

[cotsi95]

Ive never heard of hookah bars putting dry tobacco with shisha. I dont see what the point would be.

[vendetta_revived]

Were they using quicklite coals?

[Bawhee]

Probably quicklights and enclosed space combined, dont worry about it

[mushrat]

are they using the same amont of heat? Are you finding the smoke at the lounge to be harsher or stronger?

[fineout]

noone asked this question, do you know what kind of shisha they use at the shop? and what type of shisha are you using? that makes a huge different

Did you bogart the hose?

Happened to me before, nakhla sweet melon/mint, quicklites and alot of stimulating conversation. I hogged the hose I suspect and smoked too much too fast. Really embarassing, cold sweats and the whole nine yards. Happens.

Cleanliness is Godliness.
When most of us home smokers smoke we clean out our hookah first, meaning a good scrubbing of the pipe. The better ones washed it after their last sessions, but since I smoke every day I just wait until before I prepare a smoke to give a good scrubbing. Many of us use washable hoses, the tobacco we are used to, clean bowls made out of clay, not ceramic, and natural coals.

I've seen lounges not even change the water of their hookahs and serve them. Do you think their hoses are washed or even remotely clean? I've seen lounges use expired ancient shisha that may have never been good in the first place to save a buck. I've seen them recycle unburnt shisha back. Coals? They use huge bags of bbq, and call them natural.

I used to take my own hose to a lounge just for at least a bit of cleanliness. Not that I go too much, but from now on I will do what I do when I go to my friends houses, bring my whole rig.
(disclaimer, don't think that if you do this you are not paying for anything. These establishments are run by the revenue they generate, and just bc you bring your own doesn't mean you aren't supposed to pay. I would suggest you go in with your own rig and if they say anything just say you are willing to pay the full amount for a hookah but you prefer to use your own. If you break the ice and become friends first it will be easier)

Your problem is the hookah and hose isn't what gives you a buzz, it is merely a catalyst. The tobacco and how it's packed and applied heat is what gives you a buzz or not. Should have asked what tobacco they use and such. Want a bigger buzz learn to pack really well, use quality bowls and pick high nicotine tobacco.

Oh this just makes me ill. WAY worse than a bug in the hose.

Had a server become very offended when I brought my own hose to a lounge once - just a cheap nuhose. They ignored our table the whole evening. I figured this was fairly routine, guess not.

happened to me once when i went to this bar in Lahore, same shisha as i use, japense coals which i use all the time and alfakher flavour but it gave me huge cloudssss and a buzz like never before, it wasnt just me but 3 of my friends who i went with got it as well.

Maybe it was a Goza in disguise!
