/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I was writing a tutorial on making your own shisha for smoking out of a hookah when the thread was deleted. I'll post in a new thread instead.

First, I go to a cigar or tobacco shop and buy cigarrette rolling tobacco. Pipe tobacco is too strong and takes a lot of work to be ready for a hookah.

I just bought a 6oz bag of "Turkish Blend" rolling tobacco for $18. This thing should make an enormous amount of shisha, considering $18 usually buys you 200g of premium Fantasia shisha.

Next, soak the tobacco in warm water. When the water gets dark, strain and soak it again in new water. Repeat this a few times.

Next boil the tobacco on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Strain the dark water and repeat. Do this until the strained water is fairly clear.

>I've read that Starbuzz rinses their tobacco until the water is completely clear.

Once you've reached the desired amount of clarity, keeping in mind that the more you rinse the tobacco, the less buzz it will produce, dry it out overnight. You can do this in many ways. A heat lamp would be best, but I put it in front of a little space heater and leave it for a while.
