Lack Luster Shisha

[HookahDude831]

Lately I have been experimenting with all sorts of different brands of shisha, and of late I have been rather disappointed with the ones I have chosen

The most recent brands are Starbuzz, AF, AW, Fumari, King Moassel.. it just seems that they are a mediocre smoke. nothing that is like wow <3..

I was just wondering if you guys have any suggestions, I am more of a casual smoker, but I think tangiers will be a bit much to strong for my taste.


just looking for flavors that really stand out.

[SafeSearchOff]

you didnt like AW and AF? theyre some good brands for hte price.


did you acclimate all your shisha? how was your heat management?


try Layalina shisha... its one of my favs.

best suggestion, mix flavors. its done wonders for me.

i buy flavors now with the pure intent of mixing them, ill smoke them alone and by doing that i figure what goes well with what.

vanilla is one of the best flavors to mix with anything imo. Edited January 27, 2008 by Canon

I didnt acclimate. Heat management was right on, The smoke was never harsh, very flavor rich. but just nothing that really stands out. just kind of dull or boring.

AF cinnamon, AF mint/any other flavor mix, Layalina Cola/Layalina Blueberry/Layalina Mint, Layalina Coconut, Layalina orange/Layalina mint, Layalina Passion fruit.

Layalina Passion Fruit is a real tastfilled shisha. The strongest flavor I've ever gotten from any brand/flavor everytime. However, you have to be in the mood to smoke it. Its a sweet, sweet flavor.

Stay away from AF Mango and Layalina Black Grape. Neither really taste like the flavor listed on the box. Edited January 27, 2008 by Bryantos

those sound good, Keep them coming, I get paid in a few days so Ill have to experiment with new shisha.

passion fruit tastes like puke to me, i smoked it once for 10 secs and i was done. worse flavor imaginable. worse then romman grape imo

[HookahDude831]

yea its not one of my favorites, My brother likes sweet but not citrus flavors any recommendations?

[SafeSearchOff]

one thing i am trying in my next order (just need 1 or 2 more paychecks): Layalina Pomegranate

[HookahDude831]

sounds good, Im thinking about picking up some small phunnel's for my hookahs. good ideas?

[Canon]

youll only need one.. unless you plan on having a big party.

[EternalSoil]

come over to the dark side!

(tangiers is dark )

[adamjames]

Have you tried AF Golden Eskandarani Apple? I just bought Starbuzz White Peach, AF Cinnamon, Apple and Melon and I find the Eskandarani Apple to be the most unique flavor. The stuff was SOAKED and smoked better than any shisha I've tried before. If you haven't I'd give it a try.

[DrShisha]

I agree. Sometimes people get bored with washed tobacco as its just flavour no substance so to speak. Move on to tangiers and see if you like it or not. That shouldnt ever bore you!

[ZenSilk]

Washed Tangiers is coming out...

[waterboi]

cant wait to give that a try!

[cymptom]

Yeah give Tangiers a shot and if it's too strong, wait for the washed line. I don't really like any of the brands you listed either (haven't tried Fumari though.) Also consider giving Nakhla a shot... I think it has much more flavor than most other brands because it's not diluted with glycerin. That also means it's more difficult (though not THAT difficult) to get full smoke thickness. Try the classic Double Apple, Sweet Melon, Mandarin Orange, and if you're up for some real fun, Cinnamon and Cardamon. Mix all of those together, minus the melon, and you've got something close to Mulling Spice, my #1 mix.
