ns3425 Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 hey i know this sounds stupid but zomeitmes i only wanna take a few hits when im bored and was wondering if i could just pack alittle in the bowl and then put foil over it and use a lighter to heat up the tabacco. or if i can just light the tabacco straight up with putinjg foil over it.

AKammenzind Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Eh, not a good idea IMO. The shortest smokes I have will be around half an hour... anything less than that is just more bother than it's worth methinks. Try making a foil phunnel for a standard egyptian and pack 10 grams in, works great for a short smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Lighter is burning the shisha, which makes it really harsh...only do this if you like it the good ol' tombac style where they put the coal directly on the shisha. If you want a quick smoke, they sell 15mm coals in some places, otherwise, break a 33mm into thirds and go from there, you know, like use one piece.

ns3425 Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 o ok good idea. i have the quick light coals so ill just break that into thirds and use it. how can i cut it easily without having it break everyware. also is that all i do just use a small pice and then jsut pack like 2g in the bowl.

EternalSoil Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 eh, break a 33mm into 1/4's (easier than thirds )also, remember this sport is not like other things, you have to be ready to enjoy it, not just do it now and then.plus using a lighter will fuel anti-hookah people...

EternalSoil Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 what do you mean cut down and why?and why do you feel you need to have smaller smoking sessions rather than fewer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Some people can't handle a long session. I have a friend with asma(spelling)...loves the hookah, but can only do it in moderation...couple puffs here or there. But can't do a whole 30min-2hr session like a lot of people can.

EternalSoil Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 in my opinion, i think that the "addiction" to hookah is mental and easily overcome.you knew the health risks when you started and let yourself get that bad (even though it sounds great to me)i wouldnt say cut it down that much that abruptly. try for once every couple of days.one way that helps you quit smoking cigarettes (helped me at least) is to chew on a straw or something when you get any type of urge.also, when a friend of mine is inside his house he eats sunflower seeds and it keeps him from having alot of cigarettes.

r1v3th3ad Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I've got about three in...The only change in health really is when I smoke all day(17hr sessions)...the next day I feel like shit for about half of the day. I smoke cigarettes and I love my hookah over them...never any health problems for me from short sessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
