Elmas Hookah Hose And Dry Smoke


Recommended Posts

Has anybody noticed that the Elmas hookah hoses make the smoke drier, like it dries out your mouth and throat? I was just smoking some lychee and testing out my Elmas hose and I couldn't help but notice my mouth and throat getting dry so I switched to my KM ultimate hose and the dryness is gone. Anybody notice this?

I get this all the time with my Elmas hoses. It subsides if you smoke out of the hose a ton, but I still easily notice the difference in dryness between a turkish hose and a washable. I think it's part of why I don't smoke out of my turks nearly as much anymore, however, with mint, it's amazing. It "cools" the smoke in a completely different way.

Yes, this is very normal and happens on all 5 of my Elmas hoses. The dry smoke is less preferable to me, but the pull on the Turkish hoses is so perfect otherwise that it doesn't bother me very much. This may be my imagination, but if you use the supplied tips, it's not quite as dry.

Mattarios - you only just now got a Turkish hose?? You've been missing out!

I would say the same thing. The pull seems...right? when used with a turkish pipe. It's like a constant restriction all the way down, instead of all these ups and downs. But, it gets really dry here in the winter, so I tend not to smoke out of those hoses in the winter.

Yep, never really cared to have one, but the 636 came with that black one. The pull is extremely nice on them, but I hate HATE HATE the dry smoke, makes my throat all dry and bleehh. As for using the tips that come with the hookah, I agree, it does make it less dry, still dry though. I wonder if there is a way to completely get rid of it. Maybe I'll try using it in the summer when it is really humid here and see if i can break it in then.
