hmpitags2006 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think puff puff give is a good rule to go by, but if nobody is paying attention I will do a coulple of extra puffs and then pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineSolitude Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 theres no definite rule. but in general you should keep the hose for a minute or two and then pass. its not competitive and you dont wanna limit it to a number of hits really. usually i would say every 7-8 puffs pass it. the more people on a hookah, the shorter the time each person should spend with the hose. but really more than 6 people to one hookah is too many.

Erica Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We usually just smoke until we are ready to pass the hose. And yes we do have hookah hogs. Haha What I usually do is like hold my hand out for a second and then put it back down.. that way they get the point that I want the hose, they usually take only one of two more puffs and then pass the hose. It makes it so I don’t have to be like “Can I have the hose now?” every time they get it. HahahaWhat really gets me is when people have the hose and are watching tv or TALKING and they don’t smoke it they are just flailing the hose around. HahaGGRRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahETC Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 My rule is...be Kind and Curtious. Puff for a minute than pass. If they don't ask...just keep puffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlmasonaea Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yea, my group of friends is really good about making people pass when they've had it too long. The smaller the group, the longer you get to keep it. Most of us take hits until we get a strong buzz then pass it along. With the Tangiers we usually smoke, that's three or so hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DyinTuLive Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 yea with exception to the hogs we usually hit it for a min or two or until the next person asks! when they ask its one more puff then bye bye hose : (....but the damn hogs are like one more...then they hit it and just hit it again and finally we pull the hose and hit it straight from the hookah till they figure it out! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelflage Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 we usually hit it 3 times then pass, but you know, among friends......my fav is to wait for someone to hold on to it a little too long, then casually ask "hey, is it karaoke night here?"

johnchain Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 haha....Having a multi hose hookah, i just do this..Whenever someone doesn't stop smoking for while, making the others wait (holding the thumbs), we just "iron-lung" it and make him gag from losing his breath. Or....my favorite..."Party Foul!!!! You have to drink the bong water!!!"But yeah, usually there are no rules really, it's about the relaxation, a few puffs is more than enough to satisfy one's self until it's your turn again.

ghostofdavid Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Puff, puff, pass. Everyone I smoke with is amazing. Noobs don't have to stick to the rule because they are usually too excited to smoke hookah to try and keep the cycle clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 We call one of my friends a hookah whore.Puff puff pass, is too short of a turn. Unless you have like 8 people smoking from one hookah. It's not a joint. If you allow for longer times, it creates a more relaxed environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakemonster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 One of the beautiful parts of hookah smoking is the social aspect.... it gives you the opportunity to understand people. Body language and shift of the eye can indicate that your smoke mates are anticipating a turn.One thing I have noticed in the few times smoking with others is that not all of them are interested in taking their turn every time the hose comes around... So when I usually serve hookah I get it going primed up and set the hose down on the table and say "here ya go, start it which ever way you want." Usally the person showing interest in that statement is already anxious for a puff and will most likely be enthusiastic about the hose comeing to he/she in the future. I get a read on people like that... IF a person has been sitting on the hose, and they have it idle for a good while I'll ask if they are still workin on it.As it is a form of relaxation, I hate to put much of a structure on it.... kinda detracts from the vibe.

web250 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I generally go 3 big hits, pass. Works out so that the one hose QT can get passed around 4-5 people quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angemonkwj Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 when i've got people over it's all relaxed. no one has to be asked to pass the hose. we kinda just sit there and chill, talkin bout this or that, and when the person is ready to pass the hose they will. it's a no pressure situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Just stop inviting them, or kick them out of the circle. If they want to bogart, let 'em get their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But because I have that bad habit. I always bring my own Hookah. I will share mine with others too. But this way I'm not pissing people off and then there is another flavor to smoke. So all is well. Don't Worry Be Happy Now.Sorry I can't help it I heard this stupid song this morning on the way to work. It just stuck.Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scheetz Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I am a fan of the puff 4-5 times then pass. But we get people that dont like to pass and just keep puffing. A good step to help this is to take this approach:A: Take hand create FistB: Pull fist backward for powerC: Swing fist at non passer's armD: Tell then NOE: Watch them moan in painF: Watch next person smoke and pass after 2 puffs because of fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never really had a problem with trying to get it (it is my hookah so I better not). I also like Eric's response, though I am happy to just have someone to smoke with though, Eric doesn't really have to worry about not having people to smoke with since he owns a lounge.

Scheetz Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well I think what happens is the person just "forgets" other people are smoking and they just never pass it. They put it down on their lap and puff away every 2 minutes thinking they alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
