I just bought some new hoses to smoke from.
I invested in some great hookah hoses at the “Hookah4Less.com”.
I bought 2 Cobras, one the authentic expensive kind, and one the cheaper kind.
I bought the long, beautiful “Syrian” hoses which cost the most, 5 of them, and one othercheaper shorter hose .
I don’t like to smoke mint flavours or licorice, double-apple tastes in a all the hoses since the taste si so overpowering and will affect the smokes after that for a while.
I’m now smoking premium Al-Ouns grape flavour which I also bought at Hookah4Less.com, and it was tasting like the nakhla double-apple from before, so I switched to the non-authentic new cobra which I have used about 3 times.
I blew it out first like you are supposed to do after each smoke, but I kept getting this lousy black powder comming out (and in), so I had no choice but to wash it.
I went back to smoking and every puff, more black powder. Well, I just started that smoke.The pull was hard too so I took one of the new Syrian hoses and it was like another world.
Easy suction, and no lousy black powder which after all must not be from the charcoal, but evidently the hose had rusted on the inside. It had been like that from the beginning.
Thats what I get for buying cheap. The other hoses are great and this grape Al-Ouns is too.

Marijuana in your pipe?
Ask anyone who has smoked marijuana in their hookah, the first time was…
The next time they used it for regular flavoured shisha tobacco came a BIG suprise! Ugh!!! The flavours (any and all tasted like fried borscht).
The forums of hookah ALL have people who wrote in saying that they enjoy smoking marijuana, but the hemp resins completely ruin the inside stem shaft of the narghileh. Throw that shaft away. The bottle you can keep.
I am not making any opinions about marijuana here.
There was a nice t.v. commercial by the famous actor of the 50’s and 60’s Tony Curtis who is the father of what-is-her-name? Curtis?
Goes like this :
Tony Curtis with a smile :
“I quit smoking……(smirk)…cigarettes that is”.
So roll your own, buy a regular pipe, etc. But not in the hookah.
There are other things historically and now smoked in the hookah which will not ruin it.Hashish, opium.
They will not affect the pipe.(maybe your life if you’re driving).
There are derivatives of things like salvia and salvia divinorum to be bought online.
Don’t know, never tried.
Stick to tobacco shisha or buy a growing number of brand named Herbal no tobacco, no tar and nicotine smokes like “Black Label” brand, “Soex ” brand.
They even taste great!

Careful with that Axe, Eugene”
Well
Just in the last few hours I’ve come close to doing some major damage. I’m human sometimes too.
I’m a big fan of milk in my water bottle. I just cleaned it out well pouring the 3 days milk and adding cold.
You should have seen the long tube of blue’ cheese French style that came out.
That is why I use a brush in the tube, and I’ve been cleaning bottle and tube with watered down soap liquid for dishes for years. Do your dishes taste like soap? Probably not if you use rinsing hot water which can be a b— if you rinse the bottle and don’t verrrrrrry gradually make the water rinsisng it colder.Take your time or the bottle WILL break.
Also, never pick your hookah up by the top stem, or the bottle might fall and break. Eugene, as once happened to yours truly.
Another safe hint. Make sure that when you attatch the hose again, there is no ceramic head on the top as gravity or swaying wil make it fall off!
I will make this point separately, but right now I am smoking “Nakhla” cherry and mint mixed at exactly a 50-50 ratio and it wil beat your same mix anyday. How? By mixing in the same bowl, you never get it to blend well . You do get a mix, but if you use a double-clay head, and put one flavour in each side and a coal on each, you are bringing the two flavours from their bowls into a common funnel and actually tasting the 2 flavours as meant to be!

I am warning you:
I have read for years and talked to friends about “Nakhla” brand of which I love all the flavours except one.
I am smoking right NOW “Nakhla” Peach flavour and we all agree, it tastes like peach and soap!
I debated on smoking it, but to be fair to “Nakhla” which is great stuff, I tried it a few more times as I’m smoking it now.
It has “Nakhla” big nicotine kick, you do taste the peach, but its a funny soap flavour.
Try peach “Al-Waha” brand or Peach “Al-Sultan” all 3 are standard brands.
I warned you!
