jah-soul-jah Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 yes you need glycerin. but why do you order shisha from germany? or are you form germany (because of your nickname)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyGuy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 I wouldn't suggest ordering tobacco alot that you HAVE to add glycerin to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_D Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 El bas is fairly dry at the best of time. But what happens when you add enough glycarin to make it nice and juicy is.... The tobacco loses any taste Why order from Germany? - They have legal stipulations which restrict glycarin to a max of 5%. Avoid it like the plague.

haraldsmith Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 update: put a generous amount of glycerin and it's smoking good with taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerorox Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 you should use something like 2 teespoons on 50g of shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho555 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Is there any particular reason for that law? Why would glycerin even come up as far as lawmaking went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR Bubble Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 El Baz is typically dry anyway. Sometimes if you get it in the Middle East, it is okay, but [i]SOMETIMES.[/i] I think my only good smokes form El Baz were Rose and Cola. Other times, it was just a waste form it being dry. I heard other people having the same problem. MR bubble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 QUOTE (Macho555)Is there any particular reason for that law? Why would glycerin even come up as far as lawmaking went? Its the Red Bull Syndrome. They French Governement outlawed Red Bulls in France to protect doemstic coffee sellers...they feared that precanned caffeine fixes would put people who sell espresso at a disadvantage and people would migrate over. Same thing for Germany, they are trying to protect German Tobacco manufacturing. I'm not sure, but I'm 55% sure that its only imported tobacco with more than 5% glycerine is outlawed. German produced tobacco is not subject to the same stipulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlAddicto Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 My hookah was brought from Germany as a present alone with 50g of nakhla. It was very dry and barely smoked. At first I thought nakhla was just bad. But this certainly explains it. Hmmm, maybe I should try nakhla again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Nahkla makes a German export brand and one other main company, as well...Al Fahker? German export Nahkla would indeed be dry and smoke poorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
