Filling up your water bowl

When I smoke I try to fill up the water level high so that the water will cool well the smoke.

Maybe its not such a good idea. On many bowls you’ll see the gold rings which are really good indicators of how much water you are filling.

Want a good indicator of your own? If when smoking and you smoke a toke on your hose and you are getting a bit of water in the hose-well thats way to much. Sometimes you’ll fell like a gurgling feeling when you pull on your hose, thats also about too much water.

The type of  hose thickness and its width plays a part since each hose pulls differently.

I’ve purchased a few hookahs and each one has a different pull on it, so again its a matter of experimenting with what you have.

Hookah 1

You have to know WHERE to buy

There are many companies selling all types of hookahs and shisha.

Would it suprise you to know  that the same product at a number of companies will have a big price difference? Its true, but even more so, the same product at one company could be vastly different than its counterpart elsewhere.

For a true example I’ll mention what I’m smoking now.

I bought a double-headed¬† shisha bowl In one side I have AlWaha mint and the other Nkhla melon. Now if you try mixing them in one bowl it won’t come out 1/4 as good. The Nakhla and Al Waha¬† each have different molasses and glycerine content making¬† them impatable if mixed in one bowl.In the2 headed bowl its a great succsess.

Besides, some cmpanies who sell Nakhla and AlWaha are not selling  fresh. I buy at Hookah-Masters.com  when I  want Nakhal and Al Waha. They buy themselves the Al Waha from Jordan right in Jordan. Same with the Nakhla in Egypt. Not only that, but the date of production is right on the box. Often at many companies the date is only in arabic and it could be or usually is past the freshness date. Do some research. Smoking-Masters is great on this score.

Smoking ban in public places

You¬† probably understand¬† what the Smoking bans in public places like restaurants are all about. You yourself don’t want to eat your hamburger and drink a milkshake with smoke in the air, right? And their are kids around also.

But when it comes to banning smoking in hookah bars, from the U.K. to USA to India  its quite strange, no?

After all ,anyone going there wants to smoke and be with friends  .Second-hand smoke is not going to bother you  when you have a hose in your hand.

Lets hear some comments on this.

Hookah 1

Beirut/Narghileh (Article)

This is a great article from Lancet publishing. They  refer to the rise of hookah smoking  in the Middle East itself.

One politician he states rented 200 hookahs from a restaurant owner to keep people happy while listening to his speech! http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673605728713/fulltext
