toocold Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 I am using candy oil to flavor my shisha but the flavor is very light, does anyone know what else i can use to flavor my shisha. right now im using about 1/8th tsp for 1/4th cup of dried tobbacco. maybe the flavors im using are not being made into shisha because they are so light. I have tried cake batter and snickerdoodle so far and they smoke well, last a good while but hardly any flavor, it also has a slight oily taste (it could be from too much the glyserol).

Calcartman Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 What kind of flavorings are you using? You're going to be better off using fruit extracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anathema Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 He's doing pretty well imo because all he is lacking is full flavoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks that’s the way i feel as well, this forum has a lot of good info on it but when you start talking about making shisha people are less then open. It is understandable, i wouldn’t expect someone who's livelihood depends on making shisha to openly give out their secrets. My main reason for creating my own shisha was to get more flavor out of it. I have tried using more flavoring oil but it doesn't seem to make a reasonable difference. it also seems to throw off the balance for a long lasting smoke Edited August 25, 2007 by toocold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCrazy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 wow definite props for attempting to do it yourself, and from what it sounds like, your pretty much there. Do you find your shisha as moist as purchased shisha? because i would be interested in doing that as well. cake batter sounds interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabelqlewis Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 do you use molasses when you make it? that is supposed to help carry flavors more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 First off, props for trying it yourself. I would love to make my own Nargile shisha!Second - i could be way off the mark.I once had some rather dry nahkla orange. And I thought it might be a good idea to tryflavour extract using this Which is an orange extract mixed with oil.I was nearly sick! And i attribute this to the oil rather than the extract. Oil is fine digesting.. not so much about smoking! As said above it might be worth trying to get hold of some molasses and mixing that with pure natural extract?Also have a search around as I think someone else posted there recipe ideas - Might be worth combining with yours.I hope you post back any successful recipesJD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find your shisha as moist as purchased shisha? because i would be interested in doing that as well. cake batter sounds interesting!When using the molasses it is very moist but when using the corn syrup its more of a gel so i end up using more glycerin with the corn syrup to get it less viscous.i have tried using honey, molasses, and corn syrup, and according to my research i believe that corn syrup was the sweetest so i believe it will work best with the candy oils. The oils are highly concentrated and are not sweet to begin with, they do give off a great smell so most of my failed batches have been left out as air fresheners .My preparation method:1:heated corn syrup on low heat2:added in tobacco till the mixture was sticky not soaked3.added flavoring oil4.added glycerol till the mixture was a shisha consistancy5.added flavoring oilI add the flavoring after the glycerol because the glycerol causes the smoke so i figure u want the flavor mixed in with the smoke component.

Sonthert Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Flavorings are the toughest part, most expensive, too...natural extracts won't ever work well or consistently.
