Do You Smoke Shisha You Dont Like?

[Zabiela]

You try a new brand/flavor, only to be dissapointed and have a box/tub with a whole bunch left. What do you do with the rest?

I've found myself throwing them into my shisha box just incase a friend runs out or I do and people want to smoke. Most of the time stuff I dont like just dries up and gets thrown away after about a month.
Right now I have al amir guava that was dry out of the tub for some stupid reason, AF watermelon which tastes like a bar of soap, and AF jasmine which is the same sitting in there.

Usually if I come to the point of packing something I dont like because I feel like smoking I stop 10 minutes in and call it quits.

Heh, I have more samples and barely used tubs than I know what to do with..should probably offer them up...

[camelflage]

man, i was making a list the other day and realized i have 9 brands and 50 flavors of shisha sitting around. some of it i know i wouldnt smoke unless i was forced to.

[waterboi]

i guess i would have to go with how bad it was. I am new to owning my own stuff so I think I may like it later. IDK. I am still trying many different kinds and flavors

[garykainz]

i give disappointing flavors to my buddy who smokes anything

[stryet]

Shisha is money. I gotta smoke it.

AF lemon went right in the trash after the first bowl

[guyt]

I feed it to my friends horse. He's a crazy horse. He ate almost the entire 250g tub once, it was Fusion Cherry.

[olooko]

Does he react to the stuff?

[Zabiela]

Eating tobacco is NOT healthy. I would stop torturing that horse with sweet sugar on deadly nicotine.

If the flavor was tolerable or I think the poor session was due to setup/coals I'll keep it for a second try.
If the flavor was horrid, I add it to the ever growing pile of crap flavors and trade it back to my local smoke shop.
The owner smokes shisha and usually trades me back at a high premium but at least I get somthing back.
If I threw-up it goes in the trash...immediately!!! Even smelling flavors that I got sick on is repulsive.

my wife was reading this and she laughed (in a good, approving way)
I paid for it; therefore, I smoke it.

Depends on how bad it is.. I've bought some local Japanese brand of shisha, and it was like smoking air.. no flavor. But it did give a nice buzz, so we continued to smoke it. Paid like 800yen for a 100g; meh it got me through till my order came in.

my friend got a sampler for himself, and most of them we didnt like at all. but we where like "well, at least its thick" and what i found goes through bad shisha fast is, mix them!! lol. then itll be like grape fruit punch guava bubble gum....lololol. its good fun.

[Ocrap]

My trash can smells like double apple

[Johnny_D]

I've had flavours that have come part of multi-packs or trial packs that
have tasted vile [coconut & Banana spring to mind]

However the two biggest 'disappointments' were

Al Fakhir Strawberry - tasted like coconuts.
Pharaohs raspberry - Tasted like diesel. However i managed to rescue this and smoked the lot... was just ok.

[anathema]

I smoke whatever I can tolerate. It's still good unless it's burnt or if my biological systems do not fancy. The only bad flavor I've had was coca cola from either SB(do they even make it?) or this other thing. AF lemon is too sharp for me.

[iamscott06]

Joshman i agree with you, i like to mix the flavors i dont like and try and salvage something out of them, I bought some Al Fakhar Arc Sous.. def can't smoke that stuff alone, so im mixing it with some Nakla Sweet Melon and it tastes pretty damn good lol 50/50.

I ended up throwing a good deal of the Al Amir sampler pack I got after a single bowl. Grape made me want to stop living, and three apples didn't last more than a few puffs before we all decided to switch the bowl out and toss the rest. I find most AA to be intolerable unless mixed with something neutral... usually I use Nakhla mixed fruit or Afzal rose, both of which being relatively neutral in a mix and are dry enough to counter the excessive AA wetness, as well as providing a bit more nicotine. With the exception of AA Orange and AA Two Apples, both of which were good, the rest just tasted like bad perfume. I keep them around, but mix them into something.

[thejoshman]

most def. when it comes down to it, shisha is shisha, its provides an means to use your hookah, so like if it sucks, try to make it less sucky. like add stuff to it as mentioned earlier and mix it up, like try different liquids in the vase and stuff...i see bad shisha of a way to try new things i wouldnt do with shisha i loved, since with shisha you love, you dont want to change what youve been doing, its great enough as is...

Mint plus anything is usually a good bowl. Too much mint can usually drown out the taste of bad flavors. Layalina mint is what we use, and I put barely any in a bowl I smoked today and it completly drowned out Layalina peach. I was looking forward to peach.

[ZenSilk]

Romman Peach = Trash. Yuck.

[Hookah Master]

i got banana split - al waha.. and i dont like it but since i bought im not gonna throw it away so i just smoke it.

[hookah hippie]

Romman Peach = Trash. Yuck.

I am going to second that.

I usually keep it around and give it to friends on their birthday and such.

But if it is horrid (word chosen carefully) in the trash it goes.

[Hammerhead]

Life is too short to smoke bad shisha.
