gingervoodoo Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Does anyone smoke their shisha with a Heba Filter on the end of their stem? I found one in a shop the otherday and bought it. 1) because i like to minimise the impurities/tobacco smoked over a really big session and 2) becuase my boyfriend alway moans about the bubbling noise when we're watchjing a film! [url="http://www.filterheba.com/"]http://www.filterheba.com/[/url] Does anyone know is they really work? I tried it for the first time last night. I dont think it made any difference to my smoke. My smoke seemed a bit harsher than usual, but to be fair I was smoking some old al waha I found and I've been used to al fakher/al amir. And also..... I know this may sound a bit silly.... but I kinda missed the feel and sound of the bubbles as I took a pull. It felt like I had forgotton to put water in! Do you think the bubbling is an important part of shisha enjoyment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I found the filter i tried (unknown maker) reduced both the flavour and the smoke density. If i wanted a healthy hobbie, I wouldn't have picked Hookah. And personally, now that you mention it, I do think the bubbles are prt of the overall experience...

Macho555 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Heh, I remember I had made a diffuser at one point because everybody was raving about them. I used it for about half a session, before I ripped the thing off. I t just didn't seem right without the bubbling sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwieise Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 Yeah, its basically a diffuser with some sort of filter. Probably doesn't do a whole lot...it does make smaller air bubbles in the water which cools the smoke more (smaller/more bubbles = more smoke to water contact.) EDIT: Check out the "Installation" animation. It reminds me of those illustrations they put on condom wrappers about the...ehm "Installation."

gingervoodoo Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 hahahaha! yes its very 'enlightening'. I really would have struggled to understand how to apply it without the example! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
