Back To Basics


Recommended Posts

a few weeks ago i went on a hookah technology spree. i made a scalli mod. designed a defuser. and started chilling my hose. for all this sweet technology that should be making my smoke thicker and tastier, it did nothing but make my smoke thin and less enjoyable. i kept trying this for a few weeks and could not get any of this shit to work. i even took off the defuser and just tryed the scalli mod. even then the smoke was not enjoyable. so just a few days ago i went "back to basics" i took off the scalli mod, went defuser-less and even replaced my nice bohemian vase with a cheap juice bottle i found at the market (amazing that it fits perfectly!) and i GOT THE MOST SMOKE I HAVE EVER GOTTEN!!!!!

it was amazing!

im gonna take some pictures of this juice bottle. it is really tall and skinny and has the perfect ratio of smoke chamber verse water area. the smoke was amazing!

pics coming soon!

I've always advocated the KISS (Keep it simple stupid) principle. And while the new cool stuff seems to work great for many, I still smoke everything with a standard Mya Bowl (though i do have an original Tangiers I take out now and then and a bowl with a built in cover) I smoke with a screen, a windcover, and usually finger coals though in a pinch I'll whip out a 40mm 3 kings.

I even do this with Tangiers, though I chop it up a bit extra, and I always have good sessions.

Perhaps I'm just old an afraid of change, but it works for me... dry.gif

I also use screens, messing with foil just takes too much time, and I never really could see the difference between foil and screens. why does everyone make such a fuss over poking their own holes? huh.gif

the juice is called looza. its really good. you cant see it in these images but the down stem goes all the way to the bottom of the label. so there is alot of room for smoke once this baby gets going. also the white stuff in there is coconut milk =) thought id try it. not bad.....

I could not agree more. I too would KISS mushy blink.gif

Seriously though!

Mushy is right. Keeping it simple pritty much allways works. I often revert back
to very simplistic hookah smoking. Just a normal bowl, some Nahkla, Coal & off you go!

honestly ,there is a difference between "KISS" and nakhla...

id prefer not to commit self-induced torture at the hands of nakhla mix...but thats just my personal preference.

after starbuzz peach, i will no longer smoke any other peachs around...
