Down - Nothing In Return or Bury Me In Smoke.

QUOTE (antouwan @ Mar 17 2008, 01:04 AM) hold the mouthpiece and the end that goes into the hose port in your hand, then give it a couple bangs on a wall or something hard. stand on a chair with the hose hanging straight down and give it a few good blows...ALSO if you have an air compressor i heard that works great Sorry about the late response, Yeah I tried hitting it a few good times on my rug, and blowing it out like 5 times, for about 5 minutes, lol. But anyway yeah that worked man, problem solved. Chillin' with my Romman cocktail and a good working Mya again, thanks.

Yeah, I may have to end up doing that, I really want a Nammor, but yeah cash is iffy at the moment, but I can definitely get one soon.

Hey everyone, Haven't posted on here in a while due to some family problems, haven't really smoked either, but now I am and everything seems to be running smooth, except for one small thing. I have a Mya Solo, standard everything, hose and all, but recently I have been pulling little bits of black, what I could guess, shisha resin, if that is such a thing. Its the standard hose, and I have tried blowing it out and whatnot, but I will get like one or two little pieces in my mouth per smoke session, and its a unpleasant surprise, can anyone help me with this? Thanks a lot in advance

Alright, well I am letting my Nakhla acclimate, but roughly how long should I let it sit out in my room for? So far its been I would say 10 minutes. And one more little thing, considering I have the Mya Solo, stock bowl and whatnot, I use 3 Kings Quick Light Coals, not sure what size but its the bigger of the two Quicklights. What would be the recommended coal usage for it? I really only use 1, somtimes 1 and a half.

QUOTE (mathuv @ Feb 24 2008, 03:00 PM) so going through a pack of gum a day isnt weird? I mean considering my friend goes through like 3 packs of orbit a day, hes a gum freak, I didn't have anything to compare it too either, lol.

Yeah Nakhla is pretty cheap, but the Tropicana for some reason runs a few dollars more, I think it's one of there 'signature' flavors, just by looking at the box. I would have a picture but my girlfriend stole my camera, as most girlfriends do .

Yeah, I will go and try to acclimate it here in a little bit, see how that does. I will post any other updates or concerns. Thanks Guys

Yeah, I actually smoked Nakhla before anything else, when I first started smoking, then I found other brands. The Tropicana has a very, almost intense 'Tropical' flavor, very strong almost, but good flavor. Don't know, it could be you need to set it up a little different than the standard way I'm used to. I actually have before tried adding a little honey to some other Nahkla, and it did actually turn out right well, not harsh what so ever, and smoke was somewhat decent. Just might need to mess with it some.

I mean, to be honest, anything you smoke wise you take into your lungs is not good for you, and I mean that is what you would hear from a doctor anyway. But from the research I have found, and what I can gather from it, I really don't think it is at all that bad compared to cigarettes. Cigarettes have WAY more other chemicals and nastiness compared to hookah (No offense to cig smokers). A lot of us here do smoke hookah a lot, but not as much as your average person that goes through a pack like its gum. Hookah is filtered as well, a lot better than a silly little cigarette filter. I could ramble on and on about it, but I hope you get the idea of what I am trying to say, lol. Happy Smokin'

Hey everyone, Damn, I've had this horrible cold that has finally started to go away, really uncomfortable to smoke hookah with it anyway . But just the other day, I went to my local store, and didn't have enough money for some Al Fahker, which I normally get. I got a flavor by Nakhla called Tropicana. I have really only seen it at my local hookah bar, and they use it as well. I tried it on mine, and well, it seemed to get really harsh. I know I'm setting it all up right, but I never get stale or harsh smoke with Al Fahker. Is there something I can do to fix it with the Tropicana? Oh and by the way, I'm smoking it through a Mya Solo, with pretty much everything stock on it still. Thanks In Advance

For some reason, I have found that, yeah the larger stems, do seem to make the smoke a lot harsher, if you have several in your bowl. Nakhla seems personally to me to be the one shisha brand with a lot of larger stems, I haven't really ran into it with any other brand.

QUOTE (Canon @ Feb 13 2008, 11:30 AM) you notice the ice more when your smoking tangiers then anything, when you have ice tangiers is "harsher" then if you have lukewarm water in the base. Oh, ok, I'll remember that, and yeah I definitely need to get me some Tangiers, a little off topic, but whats a great tasting flavor by them Canon?

Hmm, maybe it could be ice? I wouldn't be to sure. As we speak I'm smoking a bowl of AF Mix Berry with some ice in it. Lately I have been smoking just like water, or water mix fruit juice, so I will see if this ice in it effects my breathing in anyway. I'll post if and when I see anything.

Okay, So I have come up with a pretty good answer. On a few smoking websites, normally the tight chest symptoms is really if your lungs are "sore." Being if you coughed a lot if you smoked hookah, maybe to much heat was getting to the hookah, and made the shisha somewhat "stale." Or it could also be nicotine withdraws, but I really doubt that considering how low the content of nicotine is within shisha. The only suggestion I could give you would be to possibly make sure your packing your bowl well, and applying the foil right. Try not having a lot of holes, or use smaller holes. I would also try double foil, instead of just one layer. Make sure all the "stems" are out of the shisha as well. If I were you, since you are a little sore from smoking, take a good day break and maybe go jog around the block or something to help do some breathing exercises. Just try a couple of those suggestions first and either send me a PM or post here and let me know. Happy Smokin'
