That's what I thought. They said it was to "re-moisturize" the shisha. It was sticky as it was, and in my opinion didn't need to be moisturized. It was just a one hose hookah. Don't get me wrong, it got me high, but for some reason, the weed wasn't ash at all. It was just weed, after a half hour of thinking I was smoking it. And it took a long time to "smoke", so I found it to be a waste of time and weed, when I could have just rolled a joint or smoked a bong.
