Wow - I dream of a Sift space like this. Nice hookah btw.

I wanna smoke from that hookah.

Found it quite stimulating and refreshing upon returning m'self......I love it when I'm accused of being from the right......and been here long enough for a school kid to figure me out.....Three cheers for the lovers of all races, creeds and colors, without regard to imprints, upbringing, limited exposure and indoctro-education.

I wanna have a Bar-b-que, with brothers from the west side, brothers from the west bank, and mothers from the barrios', brothels, and barrooms....perhaps some laplanders and swedes thrown in the mix, couple of token Canadians, gotta get some Brits, frogs, and wops, for the euro-mutt contingent, and Hayzeus Allah, can't forget the Chinese, the future overlords of the planet. The DJ is an Egyption, born to two mothers invitro-fertilized by Moishe and Akmehd, the homsexual Arab-Isralei acrobats, and there is a Bollywood room with hookahs, saris, and purple lassi-punchbowls .......let's get the party started........

Did I leave out anyone, shit, South America is gonna kick my ass, gotta have some Columbians, and Peruvian flakes. This is what I want my funeral to be like....lotsa dancin' and food, and nekkid preacher eulogies.....and Joseph, you're invited too, so stop yer Stalin!!!

was that a big YES for the purple lassi, or the hookah????! Or the drop-dead gorgeous yoni-queen???

“YES!”

did he do this before or AFTER inhaling alcohol from the hookah?!?!

Geez ladybug, I can't believe your virtually harmless comment. I almost dropped this, but the more I think about it.. the crazier it is.

From wikipedia:

Carbon dioxide content in fresh air varies and is between 0.03% (300 ppm) to 0.06% (600 ppm), depending on location and in exhaled air approximately 4.5%. When inhaled in high concentrations (greater than 5% by volume), it is immediately dangerous to the life and health of plants, humans and other animals. The current threshold limit value (TLV) or maximum level that is considered safe for healthy adults for an 8-hour work day is 0.5% (5000 ppm). The maximum safe level for infants, children, the elderly and individuals with cardio-pulmonary health issues would be significantly less.

These figures are valid for carbon dioxide supplied in "pure" form. In indoor spaces occupied by humans the carbon dioxide concentration will also reach a level higher than in pure outdoor air. Concentrations higher than 1000 ppm will cause discomfort in more than 20% of occupants, and the discomfort will increase with increasing CO2 concentration. The discomfort will be caused by various gases coming from human respiration and perspiration, and not by CO2 itself. At 2000 ppm will the majority of occupants feel a significant degree of discomfort, and many will develop nausea and headache. The CO2 concentration between 300 and 2500 ppm is used as an indicator of indoor air quality in spaces polluted by human occupation.

Acute carbon dioxide toxicity is sometimes known as choke damp, an old mining industry term, and was the cause of death at Lake Nyos in Cameroon, where an upwelling of CO2-laden lake water in 1986 covered a wide area in a blanket of the gas, killing nearly 2000.

From MSDS

>4% by volume in the atmosphere produces labored breathing and is dangerous for even a few minutes of exposure; >12% causes rapid unconsciousness; a few hours exposure at 25% results in death.

Maybe liquid Nitrogen or helium would only be equivalent to holding your breathe.. but CO2 is toxic. So I realize one lb of dry ice in a 20ft x 20ft room is relatively harmless, but you are talking about inhaling it directly over the course of however long you are hitting the hookah. That is going to be way over an average intake of 3000ppm. Now you might argue that when breathing normal air in between hitting the hookah, you are dispelling a lot of excess CO2, but I think your blood is getting elevated toxic levels during the hose sucking parts.

Ok.. so 8.3 ft^3 is only.. say 235L.. or about 60 lungs worth of deep inhaling of an average adult male. So even if you are talking about 0.1 lb or less of dry ice.. I'm pretty sure it is enough to lead to asphyxiation. How many hookah drags of CO2 before you pass out. You are basically holding your breathe. Sure, if you breathed normally in between hitting the hookah, you probably would be fine.. more likely, you would pass out first and not suffer any damage.. But sucking on a hose of CO2 is not good for you.

yet you downvote on the Hookah vid because of possible injury ... not quite sure i understand your logic on this one, gorillaman ... poor puppy!

WTF?! I recommend changing the title before some moron dies because they watched some fake crap on YouTube. Seriously, do not try this at home.

For fuks sake... I know it is called "dry ice" but it really is CO2... You don't breathe CO2 nor live off of CO2. Even if there is alcohol vapour, you will quickly die inhaling CO2 off a hookah.

I could maybe see liquid nitrogen, or one of those electronic ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, that could work. But come on. Inhaling 100% CO2 from a hose??!!

i want to know who here is going to try this experiment!!?!? c'mon ... i know some of you have hookahs!!!!
