Glass Pipes smoking: Adding milk for thicker smoke

Well, possibly you have heard this from your friend that adding milk to your Glass Pipes bowl helps in making the smoke thicker. As a matter of fact , this is quite a common theory that putting milk in the Glass water pipes base somewhat makes the smoke richer and rather smooth while creating the ultimate pleasant hookah experience. Well, I agree with you, the idea of putting milk to the bowl is definitely easier said than done.

Yes, there are a slew of issues which actually arise when trying to perfect this method. In case of too much milk in the base it bubbles up into the chamber and the hose. Yes, you have got that right; it’s the same way that you used to blow bubbles in your chocolate milk. Do you remember?

Well, if you simply choose to ignore this and continue your Glass pipes smoking session, you will end up with the milk embedded in the hose. Curiously, when heated the milk entrapped in the hose will turn into cheese. I know you love cheese but the water pipes cheese is AWFUL.

So, what’s the way out?

Yes, there’s a way out. All you need to do is to fill your 1/16 of the hookah with whole milk and the rest with water to ensure that the mixture is diluted well.  Yes, you will finally get the point where the bubbles would be much tamed and wouldn’t rise up and into the hose.  Wait; don’t get me wrong it would be still very bubbly however it would be diluted enough that they wouldn’t rise if you didn’t pull too hard!

What did we learn?

Milk has actually much more to it than mere water.  Milk is made up of water, fats, sugars and inorganic salts and has a much higher absorptive quality than water does. Yes, the glass pipes smoke would be therefore thicker after passing through milk.

Secondly, cow milk and goats’ milk are entirely different things. Filling the water pipes base with goat is much more prevalent in the Middle East.  It emanates richer smoke.

Patience is the ‘key’ to prepare your glass Water pipes. Ask yourself what pleases you the most? What is that aspect which you are looking for in order to enhance your smoking experience? Time to experiment with your glass pipes!
