.cOLt.45. Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ok..When buying Tabacco from Germany (You'll know cause it shows the warning "Rachen Fügt ihnen und den Menschen in Ihrer umgebung erheblichen schaden zu") You should also pick up a pack of molasses..Due to German law, the maximum amount of Molasses and Glycerin is only 5% which leaves your shisha very very dry... Smoking it like this is horrible you have been warned If you are in Germany and need authentic tobacco head to a small family owned arabic store... Such as In Darmstadt there is the Asia-Bazaar (Arabic store) There they are very friendly and is personally my favorite store anyways... Just wanted to warn you guys cause i bought cherry with no molasses... wanted to throw up and was coughing like horrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyGuy Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Actually, can't they contain .5 or .05% glycerine? This has been brought up before on the forum a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worr lord Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Yeah, it's been brought up before. But it was very considerate of you to make a thread on it, seeing as I'm sure a lot of people still didn't know of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been brought up before on the forum a few times i think you mean nicotine, right? in germany, we've only got this 5%-molasses-and.glycerine-stuff.

DizzyGuy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 not nicotine, only are allowed like 5% glycerine or something like that. It was explained in the other threads better and i'm too lazy to search for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 german law allows only 5% wetting agent (glycerine) in the shisha. normal shisha contains about 25-30% wetting agent. and since the wetting agent is what makes all the smoke and allows the flavors to come through (in the smoke), without that you have essentially crap. most german sites sell like 10 different kinds of wetting agents ranging from pure glycerine to exotic fruit flavored mixes.

DizzyGuy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hurray for sang! Well, there's your answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 id like to pretend im just brilliant but i read it on a german site. "Glycerin is a conventional wetting agent for shihsa tobacco. It furthermore carries the individual aroma and is necessary for the smoke development. The German tobacco law only allows a Glycerin-concentration of 5% in all tobaccos. Unfortunatly the smoke development is strongly affected by this. For comparison: Hookah tobaccos from Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia have Glycerin-concentrations of ca. 25-30%. Therefore they develope a more intense smoke. Usage: You should put ca. 1-2 teaspoons into 50g shisha tobacco. Please leave the mixture several hours untouched, thus the glycerin can fully be absorbed by the tobacco. Rather fill less than more glycerin in the tobacco. Just as muich that the smoke can fully be developed." *copied from www.shisha-world.com not my own words or research* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
