Nerdy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I have noticed that the only buzz I got with tangiers noir was the first time I smoked it about 2 months ago. I followed every tutorial there is to a T, I get the flavor I get the clouds but the buzz is not there. Am I alone with this? Background: I've been smoking hookah for 13 years or so, I used to smoke cigarettes but have been smoke free for a solid year and a half, if not longer. My exclusive shisha brands were al fakher and starbuzz mainly. Now I smoke a bowl a day usually. I am wondering if nicotine has no effect on me anymore.

r1v3th3ad Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I smoke Tangiers almost exclusively...its a rare occasion it gives me a buzz, used to all the time when I started...nicotine tolerance...theres this stuff Nirvana, put me on my ass a few months ago when I first got it, now it does once in a while...its blended with dokha, which I believe is high nicotine...I just have tolerance because I chew and smoke...if Im not chewing I smoke 2+ packs a day.

Stuie Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I use to get buzzed all the time. Now I can smoke Desi and F-Line and not even feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerdy Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Good to know it's not just me. I've heard of nirvana. Haven't tried it out. It's mixed with dokha, correct? I am gonna stick to tang and AF 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I only ever get buzzed nowadays if I haven't smoked a certain brand in a long time. It's been a while since I've smoked Noir, so it'd probably buzz me if I did. When I switched to smoking Nakhla primarily, I got a buzz at first, but now it doesn't. Lucid never buzzes me either way. Birquq gave me a nice little buzz when I had the pleasure of trying Now With Melon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzbizz Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You just need to bring your tolerance down. Smoke AF or some other washed shisha. Then smoke some Tang. You'll feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang67n Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I'll notice a difference in the buzz between tang and nak.. I'll smoke one of them for a few months exclusively and lose the buzz, then go back to the other and feel the other buzz all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo21 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 idk either i dont know what a buzz is or i just dont get it. but if your smoking hookah for a buzz then in the wrong place. idk people ask me does hookah get you high or a buzz and i say no, its a socail thing that is relaxing and fun, but it might get some people a nicotine high. only due to they aren't used to it. but a high to me is something totally different then to most people.

[/quote] You never got a buzz? I first was smoking hookah for the buzz but that was when I smoked with a friend and didn't know how to properly smoke. Since then, I kind of dislike getting a buzz and now only smoke for the flavor, clouds, to relax, and to be social (instead of alcohol like I use to do).

Coyote Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I don't get as buzzed as I used too... not nearly. I remember being like wwwttttttffffffff. Now its not like that at all... If I get a buzz and just get tired and want to take a nap. I do notice a difference in the type of buzz between different brands. Tangiers is like getting kicked in the face. Super Shisha (yeah I have that stuff) is like getting smothered with a pillow. Nak is like how I feel after I take a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarios2 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I agree with the nak tang comparison in the buzz department. They are different, I also found when I had Tang smoking pretty well for me at one point in time, you build tolerance to nicotine so quickly with it. When I smoked tang, snus, dip, and all hookah tobaccos (except black nakhla varieties such as khan el khalili, kass super, and zaghoul) never gave me a buzz, heck like others said Tang didn't even give me a buzz anymore. I smoke once a day, I have found for me, and my smoking habits, I always get a buzz from nakhla. When I used to smoke Tang once a day, the tolerance was built up so high Tang didn't give me a buzz once a day. Now that I think about it, does that even make sense? I guess it does ... but you would think each one would build the tolerance in your system for that specific amount of nicotine. I guess more nicotine at once takes longer to reduce in the blood stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerdy Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I only made this post to see if others were or weren't getting a buzz from it. I guess to ensure myself that I was packing and smoking tangiers "correctly" If I mislead anyone, my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the liquor stores in VA are ABC state regulated stores so I'm not sure if they have websites. I would be interested in something with more of a plum taste and less of a brandy taste. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have some time to look around. I probably won't be drinking liquor until New Year's. I don't always drink liquor, but when I do, I tend to make an ass of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
