tobacco needed in shisha?


Recommended Posts

Is tobacco needed in shisha if it is in a tangiers bowl? I know in a standard bowl you need the molasses to stick to something so the molasses dosent run down the stem but in a tangiers bowl that problem is non existant so why not just use the flavored molasses??

yea lets just poor flavored molasses into tangiers funnel bowl and lets get smoking but yea that would just be weird. The tobacco isnt there to just hold the molasses. Its there because thats what your wanting to smoke. The buzz and the flavour, thats what comes from it.Plus i dont think shoving straight molasses with some flavour in it will work all that well

Great idea. Thats what the phunnel was originally designed for...it didn't work, though. The juice is either to high, boiling, and putting the charcoal out, or its too low and hits weakly. I totally understood what you were saying. Good thinking.

Good thinking.[/quote] I was thinking that too; it would take a very precise level to keep it from going too high or going too low.Although; an idea, what about using the foil without holes to heat it?Like, have the foil touching the glycerine/flavor mix, and have the air holes away from the coal? even if it boiled it wouldn't hit the coal.

No holes would mean no air flow, you would just have a vacume, so you couldn't smoke it. Try setting up your hookah, and before putting the coal on put your hand firmly over your bowl and inhale. There should be lots of resistance. Thats what smoking with foil but no holes would be like. This is also a good method for checking for leaks.

Yeah, the problem that occurs in the phunnel heads if too little tobacco is in there would be the same problem, the suction of phunnel hole, yet no holes in the foil above would suck the foil down and seal the phunnel hole.
