mcknight Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Ok so I have some bubbleberry and some wedding cake and neither of these flavors taste like anything. I bought a phunnel just so I could smoke the stuff and it never tastes like anything. I packed up some wedding cake tonight and it just didn't taste like anything, it smells amazing and the smoke is real smooth and I love it. I just can't get it to taste like what is supposed to. I left eh wedding cake open today for like 3 hours to aclimate it. What do I do? Has anyone had this problem. It tastes like absolutely nothing or whatever was last smoked through the hookah. I love the flavors of smiley I just don't taste them . Please someone help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of my favorites. I dont think I have ever had a bad session with horchata. Idk if it makes any difference but I switched back to using a regular egyptian bowl or my mya bowl instead of the funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider how clogged your nostrils are too, and using nosespray if they are.I may be wrong about this but Its possibly why you cant taste the shisha, if you smoke other things(let say cigarettes) alot then i think your taste buds my be shitty? perhaps and thats why you cant taste other things, if not then i have absolutely no clue as to why you cant taste it even though you still get smooth thick smoke, it confuzzles me?

cymptom Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Good point about the toungescraper. If you smoke burning plant matter (like cigarettes,) it really dulls your tastebuds -- brushing your tongue is probably a good way to get around that.

This shit is supposed to work. If I have to go through hoops to taste something then this brand just plain sucks and i'll stick to layalina and fumari.

NargileClub Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Ok so we are have Flavor problems. Before anything drastic.First I want yo all to know that I have 32years experience with hookah and I love what I do. Because of that.I try old ways with new style of Shisha. Lets try something way out of Sorts. See if it works. First trust me when I say the following to do. I did it myself to see what would happen. Came out great.Ok take your jars and mix your shisha up.Then with a loose lid place them in the Freezer for Two days. Then load Load your bowls first before you set up your pipe. Yes load your Bowls the way you like it. But instead of Aclimating the Shisha. Load the bowl with the frozn Shisha. Then do the rest of the Pipe set your light coals accordingly. And place it on your Hookah. And Smoke. Remeber to break up the frozen shsiha while you load your bowl and blow in the bottom of the bowl for airflow. Try this. It amaze you what happens. But first try this Method With Smiley's.We will go from there to a solution. Hope this helps. Smiley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for Tangiers we keep in back on the Shelf.Smileysounds legit, i always wondered why the tobacco was kept there at your store. but then again, i never had a bad session so i didnt bother asking anyone. I still wont put my other shisha in the fridge/freezer but if it helps with the smileys sexy i will def. give it a try Edited April 16, 2007 by ASUSEAN1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcknight Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm not trying to cause a stink, I'm a big fan of Smiley and I guess I just had really high expectations for a few of these flavors. I will give this frozen method a try. Sean we should seriously get together when we are both back from school and schmoke. Did you do anything special to the shisha after opening it? I mixed mine up a bit and let it sit for like 3 hours then packed the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to check out the new locations, supposably the store by loyola is three times the size of the store in morton grove and has a bunch of fancy couches, new mya acylics, layalina, fumari, sinbad, and tangiers!smiley, i think i might be in tuscon again this weekend. I'll give you guys a call and see if you are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
