johnchain Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Has anyone tried these things? They claim that they soak up some of the nicotine and plenty of tar...but does anyone know if it affects taste/draw/smoke density? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I'd say it's a fair bet that they will remove some particles of something.However a friend of mine recently done an interesting test with her nargila.She took a puff on a cigarette and exhaled through a tissue.Repeated with Nargila smoke.Cigarette smoke = Unplesantness on the tissueHookah Smoke = Allmost cleanSo I'm not sure there is much to filter out.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 The filter is supposed to take out nicotine. I have found it does close to nothing. Its just a small vial of charcoal and two metal filters to keep you from breathing in the charcoal filter... They are begin to degrade with use from the metal grill breaking apart and flying in your lungs instead.Don't even bother. If the water din't filter it then this defenetly wont.

ghostofdavid Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Too Gimmicky. I'd pass on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAHkoo Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i have tried one. gives any tobacco you smoke a little off chemically taste. Definitely not worth it, and beside hookah tobacco doesn't even have tar in it. and it also makes it harder to pull from your hookah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerodynamic Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 well, can anyone read whats on the package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 think about it this way guys, what is smoke? tiny particles suspended in the air. if the filter actually filters out the particles, you wouldnt have smoke. the large particles are somewhat filtered by the water, but these dont seem like they would be the problem. the little particles are the problem, and once theyre filtered out, you arent smoking anymore. youre sucking air.

web250 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 I really doubt these things work...but I've been wrong before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lantern Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I tired the mouth piece filter from H-S but all it really did was hinder my draw. It really restricts the draw IMO its more of a hindrance than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchain Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 LOL yeah it's in Arabic, but it's basically the same as the ones from H-S. I figure it would be good to filter out some of the nicotine, cus I'm kinda more in it for the taste (I might as well eat the damn fruit if i want to make shisha smoking healthy). I aint positive...but is nicotine the ONLY thing in the tobacco causing the buzz? Cus that would be a real downer if the filter took that out.

Sonthert Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I heard they make the draw too tight and you get black pieces of carbon coming up from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
