Chamomile Tea for the water solution

Today I put a very concentrated ammount of cooled off chamomile tea in my bowl instead of water. I boiled 6 bags and let cool.Duh.
Then I added it to the level I like, usually high and tried it.
When putting liquid other than water in the bowl you must add less than normal. Beer, wine, chamomile or regular tea, fruit juice etc. bubble up more Add a bit less water so that your hose does not become a drinking straw. You might like beer, but not now!
I enjoy the taste of chamomile. Regular tea gives me the creeps when I smoke through it, as does Nakhla
Hookah 1 Earl Grey Tea flavour does.
(I drink 15-20 cups of tea a day).
Wash out your bowl well wirh a light solution of soap since tea has tannic acid and leaves a residue the longer it stands as my dear old father taught me 40 years ago.

P.S.

I used another hookah and went back to the chamomile tea mix and the heat caused it to ferment and taste horrible.

The Truly Washable hookah Hose

This real washable hose is for those of us who smoke at home and prefer something that looks like its been stolen off of a WW2jeep engine, but it cleans easily and simply.
Its nothing to look at, cheap to make and cheap for you to buy.
I have seen them here in the Middle East in local stores three years ago. It is simply a piece of plastic pvc which has folds so its extremely agile and the part going into the hookah stem is pure plastic and hard wood simulation, while the smoking section at the other side is very long.
You’d have a hard time wearing it down.
Of course with no porous material on it, its comepletely washable in one part and dries right away.
I have 3 which I often use. You have a wide diameter on this hose and get lots of smoke. It is 100% washable, but looks like a large garden hose.
3 years ago I bought a long length of clear pvc attatched 2 wood pieces from another cheap hose. I liked its long length, but turning the hose rocked even my large heavy hookah.
I also seemed to be getting some weird taste as it heated.Donno.
There are no metal coil supports to rust from water or humidity as in a regular hose, hence no rust particles in your mouth,
Some people claim that the real leather hoses with no coils inside are also washable, but not their wood pieces. Go know.
You’ll pay a lot and maybe find sooner or later that they are leather, but do have metal support wires inside that rust.
If that happens cut off the too wood pieces and use them as earings. The leather can be made into a belt, or as a non-concealed weapon. Nice whip you’ve got there.
Of people who smke a lot the question of “washable hoses” is chancey and dicey at best.
For $30 I’ll sell you a “washable” hose. You must wash it in a soap solution, or boric acid. No returns if it doesn’t work.

Don’t do this simple mistake!

When lighting a quick lite coal or adding more, NEVER light it on the tobacco foil.
You’ll get an exploision of powder into your shisha, scrorch it bad, kill the taste and probably have half a flying coal come swiftly like a gunshot (naturally in your direction).
Make something out of aluminum foil to keep the sparks and soot from flying, or an old pot, or buy a coal carrier online.
