Do You love treating Yourself to a hookah but would prefer to avoid harmful and addictive substances? Then You should definitely try the tobacco substitute from Smoke Island. Smoke Island is based on cellulose but smokes very similarly to real hookah tobacco. The best part is that the cellulose does not even smolder. Only the molasses is vaporized. This means no harmful combustion substances can form, and this is also reflected in the taste.
Smoke Island is a tobacco substitute made from cellulose. Sounds strange, but that is exactly what it is. Cellulose consists of boiled plant fibers, which can also be used, for example, to make paper. Depending on the plant they come from, these fibers are longer or shorter and have slightly different properties.
What all types of cellulose have in common: When dried, they are extremely absorbent and take up liquids excellently. You know this from various types of paper, such as kitchen roll, tissues, but also newspapers and printer paper. Since tobacco leaves also consist largely of cellulose, they are also able to absorb liquids and release them again, which is why dried tobacco leaves can be excellently soaked in molasses.
When cellulose is heated, it releases the liquid again, which also makes cellulose ideal as a carrier material for absorbing molasses or flavors, glycerin, and liquid sweeteners. Through the addition of heat, cellulose also slowly releases liquids again. Essentially, there are no differences in how cellulose and tobacco function. Cellulose can bind more liquid, and the fine fibers become rather mushy than fluffy when combined with liquid, which is why it cannot be packed as fluffily as tobacco. Cellulose has virtually no taste of its own, so the flavors are somewhat clearer, and the “smoke production” is also a bit more intense than with regular tobacco due to the higher absorbency of the cellulose.
In addition, many harmful substances found in tobacco simply do not occur in cellulose. Therefore, smoking cellulose is, as far as is known, less harmful to health than consuming tobacco products.
If You disregard the taste of burning charcoal and the associated carbon monoxide, using cellulose is almost comparable to vaping, and the smoke production is likely to be significantly more intense than the smoke production of regular tobacco.
Smoke Island offers You a solid base of different flavors. In our shop, You can find, for example:
But the manufacturer offers an even larger selection of flavors.
According to sales figures, Ice Lemon (a nice sweet lemon with a light cooling effect), Ice Grape (grape and mint), and Ice Gum (bubblegum & mint) are quite popular with our customers.
Packing the bowl does not differ greatly from other bowl packing methods. The only thing You should pay close attention to is the heat, as the tobacco substitute from Smoke Island does not tolerate as much heat as other tobacco varieties. With a slight gap and an ONMO, especially the black ONMO, this should not be a problem at all. As soon as the product starts to scratch, simply reduce the heat.
No, since Smoke Island is not tobacco and the product only contains cellulose, flavors, and glycerin, it does not contain any nicotine.
Yes, the smoke is very dense, but You can also regulate it with the heat supply. Less heat means less smoke.
Smoke Island does not contain tobacco, so it lacks the earthy, spicy-tart tobacco taste. If You like the taste of tobacco, You will miss it. If that is not Your thing anyway, You might even like Smoke Island better than regular tobacco.
Smoke Island does not contain nicotine, which is responsible for addiction. Therefore, the answer is no.
Use whatever You have. Just make sure the product does not get too much heat so the cellulose does not burn.
