While I don't smoke cigarettes, I do smoke shisha every now and then.

I would like to try vaping as an alternative to shisha, for both convenience and health reasons.

Now, I do have some concerns regarding this:

1) When you smoke shisha, there's a lot of smoke.
2) While there is a bit of a throat hit, it's not very heavy. You can basically inhale to your full lung capacity without too much irritation (as long as the tobacco isn't burning).

That being said, will vaping fill the void? Are there any specific atomizers/batteries/liquids I should be looking for?

Thanks.

Oh yes. Actually, when I switched to eGo's I thought something like, oh I have a pocket narghilla now :p
To get more vape with less hit go for juices with higher VG percent. Also, lower voltages might be interesting to you.
Forget about cartos and get a nice tank, Vivi od Stardust. Detail, but maybe important, might be a wooden drip tip.
And juice... well, I?m sure that you'll have fun experimenting :D

You can use a drip tip on almost anything, That doesnt mean you have to drip. Drip tips will fit on cartos and on vivi novas and tanks or on dripping atomizers. When you talk about dripping then you would have the drip tip on a drip atty when dripping 2-3 drops is about 3 - 4 hits depending on the type of hit you take. But basically the drip tip is the mouth piece what ever you use it on. They are called drip tips also because they allow you to drip if you so choose on to the atty with out having to remove it from the device.

I was thinking the same thing^; shisha, is that a ........ reference... Busted!, this is not a drug forum, lol.

But yeah, I think they are talking about hookah...

Well, if that's the case there a quite a lot of fruit flavored and specifically hookah flavored e-liquids out there. I think Phil form tasteyourjuice even did a review on a hookah flavored disposable.

What I would recommend for that, is what I would always recommend to start with; an eGo twist w/ tanks skirt and ViVi Nova + e-liquid. Not to sound redundant but use a high VG content liquid, like 50 - 70%. Or hell, if you want clouds go all VG, but flavor will suffer a bit and the Novas do have wicking issues w/ thicker juices if your gonna chain vape or w/ somewhat empty tank so u'll be tilting your PV up from time to time.

Drip tips are kinda personal preference but I have seen some actual wood ones... but they are kinda hard to come by. Just find something that looks cool to you. It's an accessory more or less.


Kudos on knocking off the hookah BTW!! People don't understand that yeah, maybe the tobacco isn't totally burning, but those briquettes sitting atop the bow are out-gassing some serious carbon monoxide.

Welcome , Hookah user . I have and occasionally use a hookah myself . That being said , I use an herbal shisha , that's made from tea leaves , PG , and honey . I have several flavors of these , orange , mango , raspberry , etc . There is no tobacco , or nicotine in this . I have even added a bit more PG/VG to the tin , and let it soak up the flavor . Then I have used a syringe , and drawn out the flavored PG/VG and vaped it in one of my devices . Works great . But then again , that's a lot of bother , when there are tons of flavored juices , ready to vape , already available . And besides going to a 6 mg. nic content , you might also want to use the lower voltages , as well . It will be a lot less harsh , than you experienced with the 18 . And lastly , I hope your not vaping the same way you used your hookah . With them , you draw in the vapor continually , like smoking a cigarette . With vaping , you draw all the vapor into your mouth , and then inhale / exhale . Even 6 mg . will be very harsh if you don't do this . Good Luck .
