cartercdad Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 so i have a ton of hookah hookah 50g flavors all of which i love. with my old hookah a ceap chineese one that i turned into a keg hookah. (search i posted pics) they all tasted great. but now i have a new hookah a social smoke orion III and i love it tons of smoke. but many of the flavors are now harsh with either a soap taste or chemical. everything except the cola, melon, butterscotch, chocolate, and orange. am i doing something worng with this? or can it go bad? i am doing everything the same 2 3 kings coals alumin foil 1 hose. so i dont know what to do? any help suggestion would be great or should i try a new brand?

Johnny_D Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 hookah hookah is not the greatest tobacco It might be that - but i've only ever had a couple.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Well, a warning, most people that reply are gonna tell you to trash the shisha...I personally like their stuff. Have you tried giving the hookah and bowl a deep cleaning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartercdad Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 what should i clean it with i have been using lemon juice and baking soda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1v3th3ad Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 That should do it...then again, the baking soda might be what is causing the soapy taste. I generally use everclear 151proof or cheap vodka, also warm water rinses. I heard others on here recently mentioning beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 if its harsh..then you have too much heat. 2 3 kings on any tobacco is a lot. Do you break them up? I'd say break the coals in half, put 2 havles along the edge of you bowl, if thats not enough after a few minutes, try a third hald or even a quarter of a piece. Play with your heat.

zeppyrkr Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 New hookah = new set up, each hookah has its own sweet spot, just gotta work with it but yes seems like your using to much heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
