taiwontonboy Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I just got my new smiley's sexy in, i heard good things so i wanted to try it out, but i don't think i'm getting the right smoke out of it. i hear it's supposed to change flavors between puffs, but i only got that switch once. I used a medium sized bowl with a medium cyclone hookah and a ma washable hose. I tried the stargate natural coals (great btw) and put 3 pieces about one inch in size on top. it smoked great at first and changed from watermelon to a butter cake like taste (wedding cake?) but after about 10 minutes it got that generic hookah taste. any suggestions? Smiley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That generic hookah taste you're getting sounds similar to the claims other people have been making of them only tasting the glycerin. Seems to be not all that uncommon with some of his flavors. I'd just recomend trying different hole patterns out, different packing methods, and different coal/heat configuartions out. When my hookah isn't tasting right, I always just tweak these things around, and more often than not, I get it going.Keep in mind, I have no experience with Smiley's, so this might not work.

cypherkk Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I had similar issues... though honestly I don't believe it ever "changed" flavors between smokes. It has a interesting undefinable flavor tht disappears after 15 -20 min. But still smokes for a good hour or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazria Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) Same here, I picked up a "general sweet fruitiness" taste and once a strong hit of something like grape. That was about it - but I found it mixes well with less wet shisha (I mixed it up with Al Waha Vanilla - strong vanilla taste w/ werid uncurrents of something) - lasted over 2 hours!I was kinda disappointed at the taste, but hey - not everything will be perfect. I really want to try other Smiley's.... Edited May 24, 2007 by lazria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AinSophAur Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 suggestions? Wait till smiley actually learns how to make a consistant shisha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cafesaden Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 well ive never had a problem with smileys, all mine have had almost as much flavor as starbuzz. its a sensitive tobacco. everyone that has came to my house has complimented the quality of the smoke when I pack smileys.so, tell me what you do as far as setup, and Ill explain what i do...

cypherkk Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 (edited) horchata seems really consistant. haven't heard a disparaging word against it. also many people like wedding cake, though it is a mild flavor.Though I haven't tried them... bubble berry is appearantly very popular.Oh yeah, I almost forgot... Prickley pear. 10/10 must try. Edited May 25, 2007 by cypherkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symptom CY Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I don't know, I find Smileys to be pretty consistant -- perhaps even as consistant as Starbuzz or Al Fakher. I just don't like the flavoring and crazy amount of glycerin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Rod Farva Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I tried one flavor or Smiley's, I know what you mean about the flavor dying out quick. Use less charcoal, see what that does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
