what kind of tobacco for huge white clouds?


Recommended Posts

well its not all dependent on the tobacco. But al waha mint and starbuzz guava are two of the thickest smokes ive had. If you have an ice chamber hookah you will get more smoke, and if you add ice to the liquid in the base, and also stick the base of your hookah in a bucket of ice water and a lil salt, you will condense more of the glycerin and therefore get some thicker white clouds. It also has to do with how you pull in, how fast your body absorbs the smoke while in your lungs, and much more.

Oh and the hotter you get the tobacco (without burning) the more glycerin you evaporate. Hope that helps :D

Fumari has given me the whitest, fluffiest clouds. Make sure to put two coals on if you're using quicklights.
Starbuzz can get pretty nasty thick, too, but IMO nothing beats Fumari for smoke density (and flavor, most of the time).

[quote name='ZAP']The saltwater ice thing - Do you make regular ice cubes and then sprinkle salt over them or actually freeze the salt solution?[/quote]

just put ice in the water, and put the salt in the water. It will lower the freezing point of the water meaning you can get the water colder without it starting to freeze.

You can also freeze saltwater cubes, which will freeze at a lower temprature :D

Which layalina? There's a local store here that has just about every flavor, although it's a bit pricey and I'm gonna start buying online.

I can really only get that and Pharoah and Nahkla it seems. Pharoah isn't that bad, but it takes a lot of heat!

Oh! And they CHANGED their Mint formula. It used to be great, but now it's more mentholy, less flavor and...wtf, they added some more 'greenness' to it. I mean, it was already unnaturally green, but now it really turns the water super green. Gonna stop using it I think. The honey dew is still a winner though.

The thickest smoke I've gotten is from Starbuzz. I have gotten some pretty thick smokes from Layalina Mint. Also, I've tried the base in the ice water and salt trick. It's worth a try. It worked nice for me.
