I SAW IT

The MYA QT or Bambino (they're very similar, QT's more popular though) is the usual recommendation for people looking for a quality but inexpensive hookah. You're probably going to want a new hose with that too. Check out the reviews section of the forums. A lot of us use Nammor hoses, but there are a lot of good ones. 

At the very least try and smoke only non-dyed tobaccos for a while and see if it helps. Hope you get it resolved.

Also tons of great art - illustrations, animations, photography, etc. It's mostly inspiration fodder for me.

And here I was just thinking this was going to be a bad day, and not literally shitty. 

11?

I'll have to keep this in mind! The powerade/QT fit is good to know...

Just to be clear, this is like an enormous e-cig (presumably flavored like some starbuzz things), right..?

Yeah, I'm with others on the observational evidence. Having nonsmokers come and have a bowl of Tangiers with me have me pretty convinced on that one, haha.

Yay, congrats! Let me know if you ever need a second opinion on anything... not that I don't think you're perfectly fine on your own, just good to get feedback from other art-types sometimes. :)

My professor describes interviews/job hunting in general as Russian roulette. They have a gun, every time you do something wrong or they see something on their resume they don't like etc etc they put a bullet in, and every time they see something they like, they take one out. At the end, they spin the chambers and pull the trigger and you hope you don't get shot. Point is, there's some chance mixed in there as well. You'll find something eventually!

For all you folks talking about the "known carcinogens"... are we forgetting that tobacco smoke is one also? I know the whole "baking/cooking vs. smoking" for hookah thing, but you have to admit that inhaling tobacco-related stuff (or any plant material - I don't think teasha is probably that much of an improvement) is, y'know, not great either. That said, I'd rather smoke tobacco than whatever crazy shit is in this. They should absolutely not market this as a "healthy" option, just perhaps as a nicotine-free choice or just something new and potentially interesting.  Also the idea of putting goo in my bowl just seems really unappealing on so many levels.
