aladdinshisha Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Coming onto this forum and thinking people didn't know what Shisha meant (ie they thought it was flavour), so I decided to put up a post. Boy, what a response! I was grilled left and right. People did know, but just didn't give a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aladdinshisha Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 When I first started out, years ago in a shisha lounge, we had one of these big charcoal holders, full of ash and live charcoal. I was told to swing it around. Well, I hit one guy on the head and the whole of the ash and well lit coal, all ended up over his table, right in front of his girlfriend. Who freaked out completely. I just stood there not knowing what to do and the owner of the lounge went jumping around to get water. I think the boyfriend would have hit me, but he was too busy holding his head and trying to calm down his girlfriend. Who, I later found was on her first date with this guy, Suffice to say, swinging big charcoal holders, full of ash and live charcoal, is best done out doors!

Mr.Feeny Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I know this is an old tread but whatever.. I bought a hookah had no idea what I was doing and put coals that I lit for 3 secconds directly onto the tabaco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineout Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Yep when I first started I would actually pull extra hard on a still lighting ql thinking it would light faster that way...at least 2 bouts with CO poisoning and tongs of headaches from that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fouda Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My friend had just gotten his double head bowl. We were smoking it with two cocos ok each head. It just freaked out for no reason (were still not sure why it tipped). Ashes and coals went every where. 3 on the wooden floor and one on my friends crotch. One pair of burnt jeans later and a long search to find the other head of the broken bowl, we decided the double head bowl wasn't that cool and just used the standard egy that it came with.

thatshychef Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well, this isn't so much a fail on my part as it is on the part of friend... When I was in college, a friend of mine fell in love with the smell and 'tip-of-the-tongue' taste of my cherry shisha tobacco. One night (after drinking heavily), he decided to eat a gob of the tobacco! Things got veeeeeerrrrrrry ugly after that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryno Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I still think the worst I've done was the first time me and some friends smoked hookah. We had no screen, didn't think to use foil and didn't have coals. Our solution? Lighting cotton balls on fire on the shisha. Also, a friend and I in college smoked an entire set of coals before we realized there was no water in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wek-sos Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 My worst would be passing the hose to a friend right as he reclined his chair back. The foot rest thing popped out and caught the hose, coals went everywhere on the shag carpet and I'm running around to get water, pour out all the coals. A girl was in the room smoking with us, I guess it wasn't too embarrassing since we have been dating for 2 1/2 years since that night :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatshychef Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Unfortunately, this was pre-youtube period... still, that goofy bastard would have deserved it. :lol: Note to self: Stoli, cheap beer, and a wad of shisha tobacco do not mix well in the stomach...

Addison Roberts Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 My biggest fail was I bought a used hookah off craigslist. It was Chinese and was all rusted. Guy told me it was the flavoring and I didn't think anything of it. The hose I washed and it would always shit in my mouth. I kept smoking from the same hookah and hose for quite some time. I sniped a hookah off eBay for 12 bucks that was pretty bad ass. I used the same rusted hose for a year... The new hookah had very small base where only 1/3 of a cup will fill it to the brim and I thought it was nice. I used quickies 3 kings and since I always smoked at friends I burnt several holes in caprets and tables. I use to put koolaid and what not in the base and screwed up when I put pulped orange juice in it and it clouded all my ports up. I use to use barbecue tongs for a grill to flip my coals I would use tinfoil as grommets... Shisha was what ever the store had and tasted good no matter what it was... To be honest I miss the old times like this... I don't get the same inexperienced satisfaction as I use to get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Sharrp SYBIAN Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 My biggest fail was the 1st hookah i ever bought. It was so long ago around 8-9 years now.I used to put Jack Daniels and coke, or orange soda in the base and i used quicklights, and a mya like bowl that took 80+ grams of tobacco. All that being said some people failed way worse than me and unlike me they did it for attention. Here is a old but prime example here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK03Kf9XJiU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud-Hookah Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 WOW can't believe no one else has done this... but just cleaned out the base with hot water and brushed it all down, then immediately decided to smoke from it and filled it with ice cold water... DUH And of course the burnt hole in the carpet is the story the wife never lets go of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfernoRaven Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Wow my first hookah moment wasn't that bad honestly. I bought Natural Coals to start off with, a KM Pear with a Egy and a Rainbow Hose. Never forgot to put water in the base (I have however filled it too low and refuse to add more after my coals had been lit.) My biggest fail was I didn't know how unbalanced a hookah was on carpet. set the sucker on carpet lighted some coals and was smoking a bowl and the hookah fell over and I freaked, burned my fav computer chair and the carpet. Started smoking outside after that then had a few online buddies show me what I had been missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, my first crystal base was delivered in 32 degree weather, I wasn't thinking and immediately filled it up with tap water. Luckily it was in bad shape and I didn't pay a whole lot for it, but I definitely learned a lesson that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
