The Happy Hookah

[crucialbunny]

Yesterday I stopped by a local smoke shop for rolling papers and somehow walked out owning my first hookah. I've been to hookah bars a time or two but only smoked Shisha and charcoal tobacco before. Anybody have experience using one for bud? Do you think pressing product into wafers would work? I quit smoking tobacco a little over 6 years ago and I'm not very interested in starting the habit again. My thought at the moment of purchase was to load it with ice to test my various grows without the harsh burn of a pipe or joint. I don't inhale so this is strictly for taste testing. I'm kinda thinking this may not have been well thought through on my part.

I woulda started with a pipe - not more than 10 bucks.

 

[crucialbunny]

Yeah, I have several pipes. My idea was to hopefully get a better profile of taste by cooling it over ice.

Never smoked from hookah. I have a water bong with a thing like an oxygen mask on it.....we always put Canadian whiskey in it, gave a really good taste plus after you smoke out of it for a while you can drink the whiskey after.

Nothing beats a vape for taste. I use mine when I want all the flavor and none of the harsh smoke.

Wow !! Now you have an Object d'art. Very cool !!

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

This is true. If nothing else, you have a cool piece to set on a shelf or something.

 

[crucialbunny]

I thought you had to use oils and such for vaporizers. You can vape cured bud?

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

Absolutely! I use Arizer's Air and Extreme Q but there are lots out there.

 

[crucialbunny]

Ah, the good old days of bong water spilled in shag carpeting. I can remember putting Amaretto in mine. Tasted good but left a sticky mess.

 

[crucialbunny]

I am going to look into that. I was making an assumption based on the limited experience I've had. Everyone I've known who used them seemed to always have some kind of liquid in them. Thank you

Lol, that sounds pretty gross. I've seen our bong water and I don't wanna even take care of dumping it, let alone drink it.

 

[AccidentalGardener]

Holy. Bud vaporizers are da bomb. So dang clean. I forgot I wanted one. In addition to a cold start rig. I thought growing my own would help me save money. Lol.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

No shit, I just realized that my annual seed habit alone outpaces my old weed habit in spending. Wow!

I had a similar issue, wanted one bong that was bigger than my tiny beaker, ended up with two and $180 less in my pocket.

Looks like home. Looks like your grow space is sharing with your reloading area.

Never smoked anything out of a hookah. I had an 18” plastic bong, called Kabong, back in The day. Love to find another one.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

Ooh, me likey. Brass, trays, dies, a trimmer and is it...yes it is old fishing weights! You're even casting!? I'm so proud!

Oh yeah the bongs are nice too. lol

That other hobby will clean out your wallet just as fast, ask me how I know. I tried to grow components but had no luck.

 

[FunkyButtLovin]

I think someone bought and relaunched Graffix bongs.

 

[Smerft85]

Or is it my reloading area encroaching on my smoking area? 😁👍
