Hookah_Husky Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have been smoking for about 4 years now and finally decided to try my hand at making my own shisha. I was going to start with a Vanilla, but after reading up a bit on alcohol based flavorings (all I had was vanilla extract) I decided to go with a dry ingredient I had lying around the house, ground cloves. I made it last week and it has sat for about 5-7 days before I finally got a chance to sit down and smoke it. Visually it looks quite good (sorry, no pictures right now), and I can even taste a bit of clove when smoking it (very light, but it is there.....also it is producing decent sized clouds). However, there is an odd type of cooling sensation I am getting from this blend. It almost feels like the cooling sensation one would have from smoking mint. I am wondering if this is something associated with one of the ingredients I used (possibly the clove itself). Below is a list of ingredients in the shisha. -American Spirit Red (boiled twice) -Heritage Store Vegetable Glycerin -Virginia Blend Honey -Grandmas Molasses -McCormick ground cloves My hookah setup -Mya QT -Nammor hose -standard Mya bowl -CH Coconut Coals Input would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hookah_Husky Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 its the clove. this is normal for clove...I suppose you never smoked a djarm? I actually used to smoke cloves years ago but smoked them like a cigar (only really puffing) for the flavor on my lips. Not a big fan of cigarettes. Thanks for the quick response. Assumed it was the clove, but since it was my first batch of any type of homemade shisha I was curious if anything else I used could have been the culprit. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't like smoking clove, but boy do I enjoy the feeling of clove-scented stuff on my face when I'm shaving. :) Especially my Bay Rum shaving soap and aftershave... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Grab a handful of cloves and chew them up and see how long it takes for your mouth to feel like it's been blasted with Novocain :) it's the cloves. My post added nothing to the conversation... Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cochise Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I make a homemade concoction like this myself and use it often...usually, when in trouble or in doubt...add more clove. But that's my take on everything. Also, this is my first post in a long, long time...good to be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
