The King Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I just smoked again, but it wasn't quite as thick as yesterdays. I noticed as I was packing the bowl that the shisha wasn't as wet or moist. It wasn't like completely dried out, but not as moist for sure. So is this what caused the smoke thickness to change?(which wasn't too much different)If so, what can I do to recover it, it's an almost full tin of SB so I dont wanna waste it. How bout a little honey or something mixed in?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glz88 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 you could try what we did for pipe tobacco and buy the a couple of one shot humidors. They are fairly cheap you drop em in water for a couple of mins and then plop em into a bag and they revive your tobacco to the way it used to be. Honey sounds like a worthy try to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheetz Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 What are you keeping it in? Should be kept in a ziploc bag or some other air tight container. Try adding honey or glycerin to the mix to revive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieces Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Also, don't forget to mix up the shisha before taking out the portion for the bowl. As it sits in whatever container you have it in, all the juicy goodness falls victim to gravity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah I just smoked again today a few times and it's really not too harsh, but I can kind of taste coal a bit. Im gonna put in in an airtight container like I should be. I'll probably put a little bit of honey in. Also, you know how you can put a slice of bread inside a bag with things that have been dried out? Well I was thinking of trying that, kind of like those one shot humidors that glz88 was talkin about, but this way its free!Well thanks for the advice everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldonb1 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 hmm you really shouldn't have THAT much trouble w/ keeping everything moist...Def. make sure u give the shisha a good mixing before u start prep'ing a bowl. (like pieces said)And u say u can taste the coal... um... holes might be too large... or too much coal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Well the third smoke session today it got real harsh so i started over. I put new shisha in, and lit a new coal and just put like 8 holes with a pin in the foil. so i think it must be the shisha i was only using one coal, but it still tasted harsh a bit.

aldonb1 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 only 8 holes? what i have found that works really well is get a regular Bic mechanical pencil.click it a few times to get the lead sticking out 1/4-1/2 in.then poke your wholes w/ that... but when it gets to the base of the pencil (where the lead comes out of) just lightly punch through w/ that.I have found it gives you nicely sized holes and because you are stabbing all the way through the shisha it creates more air tunnels through it.this means better smoke...i usually do 2 circles and one large whole in the center (this is for a tangiers med. funnel bowl)this comes out to.... oh 20-25 holes.haha oh and be sure u don't break the graphite...

The King Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah I have pretty basic hookah, small reg bowl and stuff. There was proabably at least 10 holes but no more than 15 for sure. But even then, I was getting real thick smoke, just a little harsh. Not of SB standards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
