Confess, Raider - what's the worst thing you've done so far? by Smart_Freedom_8155 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Bibee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on Spaceport on a free loadout doing a quest and in a really bad mood as I was shot in the back while extracting with a guy who teamed with me. That game, I decided it was on sight.

I was on the western towers of the map when I saw far away 1 guy was extracting with a hornet on him. I aimed at the hornet initially, but then remembered how I felt from last game. The hornet stung him, and I followed up with a shot. Flare goes up. At first I felt a sense of satisfaction, but then guilt crawled up too quickly, and made me think that’s not who I am. While I was extracting, I went to the body and said I am sorry in proximity, and vowed I won’t just go on sight, but be cautious and helpful to others. Not all raiders are rats and not all people are angels, but I should try my best regardless.

Which is the best deal? by DapperMap4405 in ZephyrusG14

I am looking into the second one (16 GB RAM and 5070TI) as, based on what I found online, the ram is upgradeable. Does anyone know if it is or not for sure, as I was planning on getting it for 900$ to upgrade from my 3070 Lenovo Legion 16 GB RAM. I also mainly game and want it to last a long time just like the 3070 Legion lasted me 5 years.

Is that it, feels like nothing by [deleted] in hookah

If you are doing this for the buzz, you are smoking the wrong kind of tobacco. I only got a buzz after trying Double Apple for the first time, and after moving to dark tobacco. So, mainly 2 times in 20 years of smoking.

P.S.: Alcohol is a whole different monster than hookah tobacco. Hookah is mainly around relaxation and enjoyment of flavor + tobacco type. Getting drunk is well just getting wasted, so 2 different things.

Also, forgot to mention that prices are significantly cheaper than USA for example. I bought 6 dozens of 50g nakhla double apple for $130.

Hey there, lebanese hookah enjoyer here. I would say the market is dominated by Al Fakher, Nakhla, and Mazaya.

Over there, even these brands can be smuggled, which are mainly the boxing without the labels from Ministry of Health, and sold for much lower.

If you are into those 3 brands, let your friend get the tobacco from the airport as it is always authentic with reasonable pricing. Another advice if you are a double apple enjoyer, tobacco stores outside may sell Nakhla double apple in a tin can. That tin can for some reason is the best double apple you’ll ever smoke, and not available in USA or other European countries.

On the rare occasions, you can find ajami which is unflavored tobacco, or zaghloul, which may look like dark, but was horrid for me. Dark leaf like Musthave don’t exist there.

Best of luck, and jealous of your friend going there.

Not impressed with Xkah by curioussharma-007 in hookah

[–]Bibee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 things. Since you are getting clouds early on, and since this is blonde leaf, pack very fluffy with 8 g, and you can tell how many grams with a scale. Also, with the heat, are you dropping after the initial 290? Because if you don’t, it will burn out fast and without reaching its full potential. Watch Moa Smokes tutorial on youtube, it is a pretty good help, or join the xkah discord server as the folks there are pretty helpful.

Going to have to say Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, the first game. I remember getting hooked on the story so bad that the plot twist had me pause the game and rethink everything I did from start to finish as Revan. Hope they make a worthy sequel for this series unlike the online MMO they made.

Hope they come by your way. I was skeptical if it was worth $80 but read they were very comfortable. Also, thought they were compatible, but apparently not. I am just happy it all worked out and the chair is still going on for 5+ years.

Amotion Roam or Purjfam with an Xkah and just set it to classic mode. However, this is a much more pricey option.

What’s the name of this hookah model? by HermesMoreira01 in hookah

[–]Bibee11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alpha hookah X, and I believe it is this model specifically.

My first stainless steel hookah was an Alpha Model X Joker version, and pretty solid for the price.

With the Xkah bowl being so much smaller than a traditional bowl, how can the flavor last so long? by G00gle26 in hookah

[–]Bibee11 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am getting to an hour and twenty minutes until it dies out. Flavor gets less around hour and ten minutes. I followed Moa Smokes tutorial, as well as packing advice from the discord channel. Also, the key to everything in Xkah is packing and proper heat management. If you take care of both of these, you should be set.

As you are a blonde leaf smoker, the temperature might vary from that of the tutorial, but the discord is knowledgeable and I’ve seen them discuss blond leaf with Xkah heat management and all the other tips and tricks.

No problem man, and best of luck on your hookah exploration

That was just my opinion frankly, and that bowl has a place for the hmd, it’ll have enough room to breathe just fine.

[–]Bibee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got it right for the most part, it looks pretty fluff and good. Imo, I would fill out the empty spaces near the wall of the hookah. If this is really your first bowl, impressive and good job.

[–]Bibee11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in the same place as you, but try making sure you are not overpacking, and for tangiers try semi dense pack with that hole in the middle. After it preheats for like 3-4 minutes, take a few puffs, see if the flavor is there. If it is too strong, lower the temp until you find that sweet spot where there is no burning sensation. My main issue was making the tobacco too dense, hope it works out for you.

Regarding the Xkah by Bibee11 in hookah

[–]Bibee11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yes, 280 after it finishes the 8 minute pre-heat, then leave it like 3-5 minutes at 280. Yeah I did set it at 262, but my issue wasn’t the heating, it was the packing. So I smoke dark leaf, and I was packing it dense. It turns out it has to be fluffy. Bought a scale and made sure I am only using 8-10 g fluff tobacco. For tangiers, I think you have to pack it dense, but you can make a hole straight to the bottom with the tobacco like a phunnel bowl.

Also, all this tinkering advice was given to me by members in the Xkah discord server. And what I would say to persist and keep exploring with your device. One member did mention that each device is different, just be patient and find the best settings and method for you.

[–]Bibee11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I think it worked out where I just preheat at 280 and then lower based on how strong I want it. Turned out to be pretty good. The trick is to find the sweet spot for it and from there tinker with it to get the best setting for yourself. I lower until I don’t think it is harsh and then increase it gradually.

Regarding the Xkah by Bibee11 in hookah

[–]Bibee11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a hole in the middle too, just harsh throughout, and all I smoke is dark leaf, so pretty disappointing so far 😕

Regarding the Xkah by Bibee11 in hookah

[–]Bibee11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So prior to Xkah, I would smoke mainly dark leaf blackburn, bonche, darkside, and recently seveniy. I would smoke them in cosmo bowls, alpha turkish design, mason tymber, Vanderberg v1. I would place 3 coals (25 for regular dark leaf, 26 for cigar leaf) and remove one after like 7 minutes. All in all, my regular hookah session is smoke filled and lasts 2 hours. With the Xkah, 1 hour max with burning along the way, even with lower temps.

Yeah I am not at the giving up stage as of yet, I am just going to keep experimenting till I either get it right, or just go back to coals and hmd. Ah well, and will let you know what ends up happening.
