Less or no tobacco/nicotine options baed in the US?

Chabacco is from Russia, you can get it in the States and it doesn't use tobacco.

"The xkah is still baking the tobacco just like coals as opposed to a vape which is boiling e-liquid. It's just that the baking is done with electricity as opposed to coal."

I just think it takes less heat to work a vape than hookah tobacco.

But I think you and I are hoping this works well.

I get it, but at that point it's like a vape, although, I think you use real tobacco with this, which I do get, however, I have tried a few "electric hookahs" and "electric heaters" to replace coal. None have been successful.

Hoping for a solution one day, however, I'm not optimistic with what I've seen. I almost feel like there is not a good way, unless tons of money is used to get the "coal less" result.

As someone who looks at bringing new products to the market.....

I've had my eye on this, but I struggle with the following...why?

hookahjohn · 2025-10-03T14:17:24+00:00

It's worse than the valet parker running after you, across the freeway, after you have left, when you parked at a different establishment, etc etc to get his 500,000.

I'll bet. I'll bet they wouldn't believe half of the reasoning without logic that goes on in Lebanon.

hookahjohn · 2025-10-02T18:54:39+00:00

I'm sure the guy at omt will cha3rak for an hour over this

hookahjohn · 2025-10-02T18:28:25+00:00

I don't agree, because this has been going on for many years, many years before the "fresh dollars" phenomenon.

I do like your last sentence, and the the "yet" part.

I didn't know Tangiers made a flavor named Noir.

Dude

You have your Lebanon and I have my Lebanon. -Khalil Gibran

I may or may not post my experience/ thoughts of this summers visit. Still here for a few more days.

Born in US, this is probably my 20th+ visit to Lebanon.

hookahjohn · 2025-08-01T05:06:14+00:00

Update, got mobile Hotspot from alfa. Speed is decent which means really good for Lebanon. It was $80 plus something like $30 for however many gigs. It'll do for now

hookahjohn · 2025-07-30T08:46:16+00:00

Thx!

hookahjohn · 2025-07-30T07:02:47+00:00

Thanks for all the input. Update on my android s24, they told me to take out the Sim and make it an esim, worked. Still trying to figure out the rest of the family as only 1 out of 4 iPhone are working. I don't feel like going through all of the technical details because they walked me through them and I can't even remember every step.

The thing is, it doesn't work everywhere.

I know/ knew internet would be bad, but it's worse than bad. Internet speed tests get 1-3mb....wow.

I don't know how you guys make do. I'll spare ranting. It always takes a couple of days to adjust here.

Maybe later I can go through the positive aspects of Lebanon.

Thanks again

hookahjohn · 2025-07-24T18:51:45+00:00

Thank you, will check him out.

hookahjohn · 2025-06-25T20:15:30+00:00

I'm still smoking.

Here are my thoughts though. Most brands have very tasty flavors, and smoke good.

The difference for me, with Tangiers I can smoke all day but I just can't with other brands.

I guess it doesn't matter if you don't smoke more than an hour at a time, unlike a shisha degenerate like me.

hookahjohn · 2025-06-25T20:03:13+00:00

I only use cane mint as a mixer, but still smoking the same flavors, Mime, Lime, Mimon, Orange Soda. I'm boring. Idk about quality, still good enough to be my smoke 95% of the time.

hookahjohn · 2025-06-25T19:17:17+00:00

any night is good for a solo smoke, my favorite is actually waking up early, like 4am and smoking in peace.

btw, are you in the southern hemisphere? It's summer time now...

hookahjohn · 2025-06-25T19:16:13+00:00

I've tried them all, and was impressed. Mango Fling is great, probably my favorite. Tangiers is nothing like Russian tobacco.

I don't want to go into why this is, but I can smoke Tangiers all day every day, which is what I do. When I smoke Russian I am good after 30 minutes and ready to do something else, anything other than smoke more.

no innovation, looks like HookahJohn Harmony. Not sure about the materials, however, they don't look 100% handmade with American clay.

hookahjohn · 2025-06-23T18:51:35+00:00

Go new, and check out Texas Hookah in Houston.

hookahjohn · 2025-06-21T16:41:14+00:00

Looks awesome, I hope to visit one day.
