Glycerin vaporizes at low temperature producing visible, thick white clouds. It is the primary smoke ingredient in all commercial hookah tobaccos.
Quick boost: Add 1-3ml VG to 20g tobacco, mix well. DIY molasses: 40-60% glycerin in the mix. Herbal shisha: Even more glycerin needed (50-70%).
Always use food-grade VG (USP/Ph.Eur). Never technical grade. Food-grade is safe to inhale when heated. Buy from reputable suppliers.
