Thread: Hookah

Any other enthusiasts here? I love kicking back and relaxing with a nice hookah session. I enjoy an occasional pipe or cigar, but the sheer relaxation level of a good hookah smoke is unmatched IMO.
I just ordered some upgrades for my hookah, so i can't wait to try them out!
So how about you guys? Any tips or tricks? Any favorite flavors or brands of shisha?
Discuss here.

there are already some threads on hookahs:

that said, I'm a big hookah guy. I love the Romman shishas, especially almond and cinnamon. yummy.

here's a snap of my hookah:

I have not got one of my own, but when I am in town I go to a hookah bar and like the apple flavoured shisha. (Really, it tastes not so much like apples as how apple flowers smell.)

It's a beauty! i only have a small one-hoser, but i'm looking to buy a bigger hookah in the near future.
I've only tried a couple of romman flavors, but what i have tried i liked a lot. my local shop just got starbuzz, so i've been trying a bunch of those flavors out. their tangerine dream is a marvelous smoke.
I was thinking about trying tangiers shisha, but from what i've read online, there is a big learning curve. have you tried it before?

I've never tried apple believe it or not, but my local hookah bar has a killer grape shisha that I love.

just an idea that I got from a friend of mine, and maybe everyone already knows about. Frozen fruit in the water, keeps the smoke cooler longer, and adds just a hint of flavor as you go along.

That sounds amazing. I will definitely have to try that.

i always put ice in the water. it's also fun to smash up some altoids in the water, too.

I was looking into possibly getting a multi-hoser, but I heard that it increases the effort it takes to pull smoke and that you have to 'fight to pull' with the other smokers? Is this true?

not really. it has far more to do with hose and valve diameter than anything else.
