jerrysalem Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If everything (and I mean EVERYTHING, bowl, level of water, foil, holes, hose, friends who smoke with you) are the same, yes for sure it could be the coals. Never underestimate the coals, they heat the shisha and whatever is in the coals chemically will mix with the shisha and you'll taste it.You didn't wash your hose with baking soda last time, did you?

Johnny_D Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 They sound like these coals :- http://www.swift-lite.com/products.htmWe call them swift lite in the uk, and they are fairly popular.Problem with coals, like most things, is that these just might not match you personal tastes.But lots of counterfeit stuff around they could be anything. Just another coal mate!JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathuv Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 yeah, i knew there was something funny about how these coals were packaged..anyway i find a lot of ash in my bowl after, fine white ash..maybe thats making a taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
