geraldzito Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I don't friggin believe it. All this time coughing my effing head off, and everybody was telling me heat management. They were right at first, but I was sure I had the technique down. Guess what...It was the Fantasia tobacco all this time. I went to my local head shop, and got some fumari. 30 minutes later, not a single cough. I guess my body didn't like Fantasia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 It could also still be the heat. Different tobaccos take different heat levels to smoke properly. Can you send the picture to my email? adbliss@yahoo.com? ill see if i can get it posted plus we'll look into why a picture isnt posting. Glad you are enjoying your hookah atleast.

I guess my body didn't like Fantasia. some people have an allergy to the different dyes used in tobaccos, for the most part its different for each brand, personally I prefer undyed tobacco but I cant find any at the local shops here in Charlotte and im too broke to order online currently do to having a cat now lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldzito Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) (Quote removed) I have been doing good. You are right, yesterday I cooked the piss out of my shisha. I'm surprised it didn't burst into flames. I was just careless. The session after that was real nice though. I have been packing below the rim, but when I remove the foil when I'm done, there is shisha stuck to it. I am a newbie, but what you said makes every bit of sense. While I accept that some tobacco types are probably stronger than others, I don't accept that it's a brand issue. Edited October 28, 2015 by mushrat We do not tollerate rudeness or bashing.

Bawhee Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 You're both right, some tobaccos just don't sit right with me even when they're fine for others to smoke at the same time. There's something about them that I can't handle right, don't know for sure what though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldzito Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Here is what I have used so far. Starbuzz, Fumari, Nakhla, Fantasia. Fantasia kind of tickled my throat, but tolerable. I am retracting what I said. It's not the brand itself, so much as what tobacco they use, from what region of the country. Edited October 28, 2015 by geraldzito added info.

I just wish I could get a decent session with that KM. I am hoping my new funnel bowl, and grommets I ordered fix the problem. I put a piece of floor tile over my bowl on the KM to block the air. I can still draw. I think my vortex just doesn't fit tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geraldzito Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'll try that. My purge vale has that little ball, and it seems to be ok. I will try my hand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geraldzito Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Oh.. I wasn't aware of that. Is the ball necessary, or can I just plug it up? Well maybe not. I guess you need that purge valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
