Quick Hose AND shisha tips

I’m not writing this because I wanted to add onto the hose info, but here anyways I must mention something along those lines.

I¬† took out a 200 gram tin of “Al-Ouns” shisha tobacco, cherry flavour.

Tip one :

With the tin (as in cans, containers) of shisha 200-250 or if you are even luckier the 500 gram and kilo variety you must remember what you learned in 6th grade science; that liquids¬† as in water, glycerine and everthing liquid ( but oil when placed on water) will flow to the lowest level. Why? No scientist can tell you why, you’d have to be the creator of water to explain what the scientists call “an obsevable behavior pattern) that is, in everthing liquid we see that it flows down to the lowest level when going through solids, unless it evaporates , turns to gas and raises skyward.Therwise, how do we explain that oil which is much heavier than water….rises to the top.Go ask its Creator “why” though in Torah this is well explained in the Kabbalah and other mystical teachings as a miracle.And why.Actually ALL nature is a miracle which we have gotten used to¬† seeing as a visual obsevable behavior pattern, as in the chloryphyll in plants turning to energy by the sun’s solar energy.

What does this mean for hookah smokers?Simple, that your glycerine in the honey, tobacco and glycerine mix will go to the bottom of the can as you sleep, breath, eat and smoke your new hookah. Ergo, you have to open the can, smell the shisha and thank whoever it is you thank that you have some, then proceed to mix the bottom which will be of much  more glycerine content than the top to get an even smoke for now, and not to smoke too much glycerine later.

Second tip. Don’t do what I just did, but after mixing and preparing my bowl, coals and smoking, I realized that the hose was previously used for smoking mint, which overcomes my cherry taste! Change hoses.Its not a bad free¬† mint mix but not what I wanted.

Hookah 1

Inside Your Hookah Hose!

Their are 2 basic smoking hoses for the narghilah. “Washable” and non-washable”.

Almost every hose is non-washable no matter what it is listed as. The p.v.c. hoses which are made in China, black hose with good agility are of course 100% washable. Most hoses are strengthened with a metal coil tube and even blowing out the dirt  after each use is not enough, they accumilate resins and dirt after awhile.

These are listed as “washable” but I don’t see detachable heads, and those ARE wood mouthpieces, no?

Please?

Hookah-Masters sells this plastic one :

Above link are more details.

Here, I’d like to show you a photo of what a hose cut apart after much use looks like :

This ain’t no clean machine

I have made myself a very long hose in thee past by buying a tube of p.v.c. at a hardware store (don’t forget to take along¬† your hookah hose¬†mouth piece¬†and attatchment so they fit to size. At home you might need to heat with hot water the tube ends to get them in well expanded and then of course after awhile they will go back to a 100% perfect fit!

Don’t buy this, it is wire re-inforced and it will rust.This looks like it doesn’t have wire.

“Braid inforced”Might rust?

 This is re-inforced  hose but from the photo given, I think that it is covered in plastic.Very good.Wire enforced. Looks like what is being sold as washable. Maybe here also the wire is covered ina plastic cover? Beautiful colours for a hose!

Clear hose, no wires

Home-made final product :

You will even see the smoke in this clear plastic¬† hose, but it is a very un-wieldly hose and you must be careful that you don’t knock over the hookah from moving it around even a little. There are I’ve only heard a more flexable p.v.c. hose¬† for air conditioners that are better….

but I have bought the black hose above from smoking-hookah.com, and like it a lot.Its also very wide. I have a longer hose that I made cutting the end of one, attatching the whole end of one and using a soft electric tape to cover for no air leaks. Its so long, but the regular one and the looooong home-made are both really flexable!Here is an adaptor if needed :

After more checking, I’ve found that a lot of these braided hoses are used for water, milk and food industrial uses, one being the “Milwaukee Rubber Com”

These vases come and a great price savings. Compare the cost comparatively to regular standard glass vases and you won’t find much difference! Yet the nature motif of these stately large Herons flying throw the air, in either blue or green glaze are a pleasure to look at while you smoke. And they being made in the Czech Republic which has a tradition of century’s work are strong and durable!
