Phork Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Picked both up today from Neil at Devils Playground. Equipment - Mya Vortex w/ Medium Funnel Bowl & Smiley Mod. Nammor Hose Exotica Coals - The coals blow me away. The square shape keeps them where you put them. Heat from them is great and they have a much better life span than anything I've used. They do take some time to get going and are difficult to grab with regular hookah tongs because of their shape but they work awesome! Fantasia Blueberry - This really disappointed me. There is VERY little flavor and it has a very chemical taste. I am not a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulderkid303 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 maybe you would have more taste if your coals are fully lit. Also if you get some good tongs if will be able to grab them better, mya tongs and bowls suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Coals are half lit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickReppinThe909 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 yea let the coals turn completely white all around before you put them on the bowl if you dont not only do you get bad flavor you also risk carbon monoxide poisoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoalition Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 +1 to fully lit coals.I have no problems with my mya tongs. maybe ur doin it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steemax Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 just like everyone pointed out, your coals are not lit, you'll get the wierd taste from there and fantasia blue berry is one of the greatest flavors that exist to man kind. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phork Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Ya that was an early pic. I used them fully lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaia.plateau Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 So you lit them halfway...put them on your shisha bowl...took a picture...then removed the coals from the bowl... fully lit them...then put them back on the bowl. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canon Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) 3 coals of that size seem a bit much, try going down to 2 coals. also there is smoke in the vase on the first pic. so you had to have been smoking them when they werent fully lit.

shisha fan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 like everyone already said, you should first fully light the coals. and make you sure that you stir up all juices, fantasia tobacco is very moist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamscott06 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Nice looking hookah ya got there. As everyone else said i'd use less coal, 2 thirds should be enough, maybe a windcover after 40-60 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likespaceships Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 looks like too much heat maybe. how much of an exotica is that?the chemical taste could be from the coals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO.Then please, please, please clue us in on how to get the most flavor out of it because everything I tried it was a total failure. I tried high heat, low heat, heavy pack, light pack..... Nothing. And I keep saying it.... Nothing that smells that good should smoke that bad, so what are so many of us doing wrong?'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paiintballa182 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 My fantasia smoked nicely, but needed a light pack to keep it burring correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
