JLM Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 So I went to my local shisha bar the other day and my friends and I had this amazing mango shisha. Not only was the taste great, but the smoke was good, and it gave me the giggest buzz I've ever gotten off of a hookah before. I sereiously felt drunk! Naturally I wanted to know what it was. After asking our waitress, I found out it was the herbal, tocacco free shisha, [b][i][u]Hydro[/u][/i][/b]. Unfortunatly they were not selling any because it was running low. After digging around on the net for awhile i came across a thread on this website about hydro shisha. [url="http://www.hookahforum.com/topic/27866-hydro-herbal-shisha-reviews/"]http://www.hookahfor...shisha-reviews/[/url] According to this topic, no one seems very fond of the stuff, and apparently it doesn't have [i]any buzz [/i](because it's herbal). That really doesn't explain why I got the best buzz ever off the stuff. Thoughts anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole. Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 This doesn't help answer your question at all, but I wonder if it would still taste good mixed in with some tobacco shisha? For those wanting to get less tobacco in with their smoking, but still get some kind of buzz. My only guess is just a smoke buzz. How long/heavy did you smoke? A bit of proper oxygen deprivation can give you a buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcane Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 you probably mistook the nauseousness for buzz.... ha! other than that....if you really enjoyed the flavor, you may have been pulling to often or it could've been the coals used.... or you're real lightweight....

mushrat Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 no buzz beyond oxygen deprivation and whatever the stuff is made of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHookah Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Yeah.. Hydro Herbal has no tobacco or nicotine so the buzz was not created from the shisha. Most likely from taking deep, heavy breaths that you felt a little light headed. In my opinion Hydro is probably one of the best nontobacco shishas on the market right now. Gives a decent smoke and good flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishologist Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Oxygen deprivation, like someone else said, coupled with a really bad coal, can cause a buzz that might be harmful as opposed to nicotine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow and steady wins the race! [/quote] +1, so many people don't realize how part of the buzz affect is always oxygen deprivation, especially on long sessions. On a semi-related note: I have always found that herbal shisha burns too quickly/easily, and in general, in burns and smokes way different than a good shisha. Mixing it with shisha helps, but sort of eliminates the purpose...if you're going to do that, why wouldn't you just smoke a good bowl of shisha instead?

shishologist Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Some types of herbal shisha might actually give you a buzz, especially home-made shisha. Someone once reported feeling a mild buzz from Chamomile home-made shisha. Edited May 31, 2011 by miguel_gomez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 NO buzz, No Nicotine... and Hey I think some of the stuff I have tried is really decent for herbal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angekfire Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 So far Hydro is hands down my favorite herbal brand. But there is definitely no buzz apart from oxygen deprivation, or placebo effect because that is what you expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaceman27 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I don't know what plant/s are used in making hydro, but there are lots of things that when smoked create a buzz. Someone mentioned the tea bags which is a perfect example. And many herbs are used to calm people in medicine, like skullcap and kakabeak, which would have the same effect when smoked.

angekfire Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I am pretty sure Hydro & Soex use sugar-cane. Evolution uses tea-leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
