Oshikuru Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I've been smoking for about 5 days now and I notice that I get slightly sweaty with irritating hot flashes. I also get pretty irritable. IS this common for hookah smokers? I hope not because I may just have to stop and sell the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would consult a doctor about that.. That sounds somewhat common with what i've heard about nicotine issues etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I believe you're probably just doing it wrong. Often newcomers to the hobby report getting sick and the such and it's narrowed down to being because they weren't setting up (usually bowl packing related) or maintaining their heat on their hookah properly. Tell us your setup: Bowl you are using, brand of tobacco and how you pack it, type/brand of coals, etc. As detailed as you can. This will help us help you. Either way, definitely not normal. All you should really experience from hookah is increased pooping, called "hookah poops." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Nicotine causes a release of adrenaline which creates the "fight of flight" stress response.

What is your setup? Coals, bowl, tobacco? Some pictures of how you're packing the bowl and placing your coals may help us in narrowing down your problem if it has to do anything with that, which it very well may. You can also check this thread and see if you're doing anything wrong. http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/40373-beginners-guide-to-hookah/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalSoil Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Probably just because you just started smoking. Try smoking on a full stomach and make sure you're drinking fluids. Should go away after you get used to it. And for those interested, I just had one of the biggest hookah poops in a long time; it was glorious!

mattarios2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sounds like it could be carbon monoxide poisoning. A lot of people report the same symptoms when they go to hookah bars as some bars don't quite vent the smoke properly so you end up inhaling carbon monoxide from all the coals being lit etc. Think you probably need to add more shisha to the bowl, and heat your coals longer/use diff coals too possibly.

Oshikuru Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the help, guys. I think it has to do with the coals. I was using ignite and boy are they crappy compared to 3 kings. Also, this occurred during my second hookah bowl of the day. Too much hookah for me, I think. I was smoking Al-Tawareg that day but I don't think that's what caused it. I also mixed grape juice and water in my bowl, maybe 30-40% gj and the rest water. Every time I drew I did so to my lungs' full capacity and took very little time in between each draw. I haven't experienced hookah poops but it sounds like a miserable experience. I do typically allow the coals to get completely red now, which is something I was not doing before. That would caused my heart to beat very hard and fast.
