blueyesopn Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 from my experiance, fumari is a little subtler then most brands. when you are getting no tast, you have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky punk? well, actualy, is your hookah all clean and do you have any leals? how are the coals positioned? did you check after to see if it is burning insted of baking? that is thje most help i can be. not much, i know. i will try harder nextime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 i tried another flavor (chocolate)and still nothingthe hookah is as clean as it could possibly be along with the hosesi been smoking starbuzz for months and never had this problem.. the only thing i can think of is it was probably sitting in a hot truck for a week and ruined the tobbaco iam gonna try emailing fumari tomororw and seeing what they suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Elmo] Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 First time I tried Fumari I got a pretty lame taste too. After that, I let it sit out a few hours before I smoked it to let it acclimate. The flavor was a lot better, still not very intense, but it was definitely better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 do not acclimate fumari!! its water based largely with little nicotine content. fumari flavors are more vibrant than SB i find. e mail fumari, tey might be able to help. send them this forum page.

Sonthert Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No, mango should be rocking the flavor department. Hmm...too much charcoal? Did you try a little less charcoal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 you sure it was fumari and not smileys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halon2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Have you tried Tropical Punch or Mint Chocolate Chip? I get the most flavor out of those. I always use a windcoverbowl (windcover down, of course) with a metal screen and 2 33mm 3 kings coals. If you're using a wide hose, like a Mya or the SS Egyptian Lounge Hoses (forgot what Tangiers calls them, but they go by a different name) you'll probably get a noticeably subtler flavor.TYLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 How many coals did you START off with? Say you put 4 halfs on (which isn't all that bad) you might of burned the shisha quick....hopefully you filled it up all the way and this probally would not be the case.Other than that are your quick lights Fully red? If not thats probally your issue.But fumari mango is REALLLLLY good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 What size phunnel bowl do you have? Maybe try just one 3k split in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) medium funnel with mod, i really dont believe its anything iam doing wrong, i think the shisha was ruined sitting in hot climates for a week while it was being shipped.

clickhea Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 no response back from fumari, glad to see this company is on top of their customer's concerns.iam attempting another flavor in a few mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clickhea Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) smoking fumari now, which is like a blend of apples.. but again iam tasting nothing but smoke, this has to be a bad shipment..wasted 50 bucks Edited August 8, 2007 by clickhea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resixpromo Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 yea its got to be something wrong with the shipment of it. Fumari is my fav brand over Starbuzz due to the abundance of flavor I always get from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdmopar Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If it was sitting in a hot truck for a week my guess is humidity shock, which in that case those flavors are toast. Mango is nothing but bold flavor so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thats a real shame, man. I was really looking forward to trying Fumari, but I guess I won't be doing so anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markchan Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 white peach fumari i fine is normally sooo dryyyy. i had to end glycerineand honey to moist it up some. their watermelon is the best i've ever had i must say. choc mint is crap, al waha's after nine is soo much better. fumari's guava however is worth the money.
